In addition, there are 2 teams with second representatives.
Due to the facts, I cannot understand the song on the 3rd division, since in the best case next season there is even a 2nd representation less, like this year.
First of all: Master have to climb! Relegation likes to be for the runners -up, but if you stand upstairs, if you are upstairs, you shouldn’t screw up the season within 2 games.
2. Teams do not belong in regular league operations. You have different means, different conditions and the possibility to individually change the squad from game to game.
If you want to play above, you put together the squad accordingly. You can have the 2nd team trained under the same conditions as the Bundesliga team. And you can compete against one opponent with the A-youth and the next matchday with 5 professionals. It doesn’t matter how to intervene in the title or relegation battle.
The fact that the young players should develop in the competition and that this is supposed to work in their own league is well and good. But that is the problem of the clubs, who have so many players under contract that this game practice needs, but for the first team it is not enough.
Hoffenheim 2 will bring as many fans in the 3rd league as in the regional league. Namely none. Added value for the 3rd league: none.
Hoffenheim II certainly deserved it in terms of sport. It is just a shame that the guest block will always remain empty on away trips. The 1st team doesn’t really manage to mobilize fans.
