The former captain of the German national team, Michael Ballack, calls for a discussion about the usefulness of the 50:1 rule. With the rule, it is difficult to catch up internationally.

Structural change: Michael Ballack calls for public questioning of the 50 1 rule in German football. He sees this as a competitive disadvantage, as he confesses in an interview with “Sport Bild”: “New sources of income have to be generated in the Bundesliga, also through other structures. […] It should be made attractive for investors.”

Quality feature: Ballack also sees the return of boredom caused by Bayern’s dominance in terms of the championship as a sign of quality: “It goes without saying that they have to win titles. This is lived accordingly by everyone and communicated clearly to the outside world. That’s where the mental strength comes from.”

Verbal restraint: This is another reason why Ballack calls for more verbal offensives from the competition: “If I now talk about pursuers like Dortmund or Leipzig, I would wish for them to make a few more declarations of war in the direction of Bavaria.”
