Basler: Premier League teams are just richer than the Bundesliga, which does not mean they are better than the Bundesliga

Hupu September 21st News Former German international Mario Basler spoke for the Bundesliga in an interview a few days ago, emphasizing that Germany's top clubs are significantly stronger than what people usually think. He cited Frankfurt's recent big victory in the Champions League.

"Galatasaray spent a lot of money this summer and ended up losing five goals against Frankfurt! Money is not always a decisive factor, and a team must form a synergy to play. Ultimately, it all depends on the ability of the players and the team," Sler yelled on the TV show Doppelpass on Sunday.

He believes that Bundesliga clubs are often underrated in comparison with so-called European powerhouses. The former midfielder said that even compared with the Premier League, which has been regarded as a benchmark in football and even economics for many years, the performance of the Bundesliga is not that bad: "I don't know why we always have to hide behind the Premier League. The football we play in Germany is not that bad. We also have excellent teams."

At this time, Basler was furious in the live broadcast of Sport1, and he added loudly: "I don't want to judge whether we are much worse than the Premier League now, but they are richer. We always dare not compare ourselves with them and make ourselves look smaller than our real self in international football."
