    Orrrr, maybe the scenario being hinted at was...with Bayern II assured of promotion and Bayern having sewn up the Bundesliga title, Pep uses younger players to manage the workload of his regular starters...it's not really that hard of an interpretation if you're not just looking to contradict people

    There is no way that Bayern II can be assured of promotion, since, even if they win their division, they still have to go through a play-off.

    I guess for most people here Bayern II and the league they're playing is uncharted territory.

    Well, tbf, how many even ardent football fans know about how the lower divisions are structured in other countries? Mostly, the blame falls on Klinsmann, for calling up a fourth division player and starting a ridiculous hype around him.

    Hm. I'm thinking if we made that distinction, but I can't remember it now, then it's probably too fine a distinction to go with. @dark knight and @Friedel'sAccent what's the ruling on GZ?

    I'll never forgive him for taking that kid to the WC and leaving home much better players. Inexcusable.

    Kid's living the sweet life getting a pretty penny for very little actual playing, in one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, which makes him a chick magnet. He's in a good position.

    Someone take his phone and destroy it. I think Green means well, in terms of his career goals, but he's wasting time in the 4th division.

    This dude ain't going anywhere any time soon.. The hype has gotten to his head I know he scored a WC goal but if he wouldn't have been on the WC team he'd most likely be more humble and have a better head on his shoulders

    If Twitter is the armpit of the Internet, does that make Instagram the inflamed rectum? I know I sound like a curmudgeon, but live your own life people. Stop telling everyone else what you're literally doing, all the time. And this is coming from a millennial.

    Get off my lawn!

    Agree; that's a very fine distinction, indeed.

    I for one think it's a shame that Julian Green has been selected for the full Yanks Abroad forum when other, more worthy players have been left out.

    So he likes social media, that's a crime? or makes him less focused or not humble? To me he comes across as a nice kid that's working hard to be a good player.

    Not really.

    The reserve teams in the RL system is for player - young player - development. Getting promoted to BL3 is a lot like EL qualification for EPL teams; the prestige is gratifying, but you have to add experience and bodies to make the squad competitive in BL3 competition, an expense and a pain that brings very little gain hile denying 2-3 more starting places to youngsters.

    If anything, the jump in standard from RL to BL3 is so great that many player development benefits from league play are lost.

    In the RLs scrawny kids with great technique and high soccer IQs learn how to beat beefy hard men with with PhDs in football's darker arts who are playing for something meaningful (like a contract extension). In BL3, the hard men have decent-to-good technique, higher IQs and are much faster & fitter than RL. The young kids get blown away in a lot of games.

    Basically, the clubs mostly don't care about II team promotion and when they do care they'd secretly rather it didn't happen.

    ^^

    Also need to mention that BL clubs reserves who play in the 3.Liga always struggle and fight relegation there and some eventually got relegated after 1 or 2 season. Bayern II played in the 3.Liga for 2010/2011 season and got relegated being the last in the table (7 wins in 38 games). Dortmund spent a couple of season there and finally got relegated last season. If you go and check the squads for those teams in 3.Liga you would only find one or two players managed to made it for the first team full-time.

    That's why some clubs decided to abolish their U-23 teams, as in Bayer Leverkusen case. They are one of the best clubs in Germany for developing young players, but still decided to get rid of the U-23 one or two yrs ago. If you are good for the U-19 you will get promoted to the first team or go on loan to a 2.BL club.

    Very true. I'd forgotten about Leverkusen completely.:(

    Spending an entire season struggling against relegation only to finish last - being hammered a couple of times a season - doesn't do anything for a 19 year-old's psychology. Better for the team to stay in RL and players to go on loan.

    The Bayern management has publicly stated that they want their reserves to play in the 3. Liga. It is true that some teams (mainly avaricious Frankfurt) fear an additional financial burden should their reserves get promoted, while others follow the Leverkusen model that has been explained byFootball Master.

    Most clubs however want their reserves to play as high up as they possibly can, and Bayern are very much included in that group. For most fans of German football that are not Bayern fans it is actually quite amusing to see Bayern II fail, year after year, to archieve their eagerly desired promotion.
