you might want to read that again, that's not at all what i said. saying that you regularly buy KEY players from direct rivals does NOT mean "you're buying the entire league".
also, i have seen plenty of bayern matches where they lack the proper "attitude" - but they have ridiculous individual quality compared to the rest of the league to make up for it. also, hamburg is the best example what can happen if you play bayern with an offensive mindset / not focused on mitigating damage to somehow get a scrappy draw or a lucky counter attack even...
if you really watched "every single league game" for years now you'd know how the majority of teams get points out of games vs. bayern.
again, the whole "well we just have a better attitude / other clubs don't work hard enough" narrative is as false as it is arrogant. you just don't lose your key players each year and even buy those from other bundesliga teams, that's the main difference...
absolutely, thats what i am saying, so many games where we played sluggish as fuck
but most of time there was nobody around to take advantage or not even tried
there is a risk that you get punished, sure, but otherwise your chances are FAR worse or close to zero to be more clear
mainz risked quite a lot and had to survive one or two close calls, but you guys did it just right
that we have individual quality and perhaps the best squad in our club history goes without saying, its the harvest of so many years with good managing
its funny that you really try to deny that there is a "bayern attitude" that makes the club special
thats the EXACT reason, why certain players are bayern material and others are not
