Michael Ballack: Bayerns Bundesliga dominance underlined by Goretzka transfer

The big news in Bundesliga was Bayern's capture of another prime piece of German football talent in Leon Goretzka and the Schalke fans' reaction. Michael Ballack has his reaction lớn that and the other talking points in German football in his weekly column- According lớn the champions league predictions page!

There was a lot of talking points in the last matchday; Koln making it three wins on the bounce, Aubameyang's omission from Dortmund's matchday squad and Freiburg's surprise win over Leipzig.

Goretzka can become world class at Bayern

However, the main topic of discussion has lớn be the news of Leon Goretzka's summer transfer lớn Bayern Munich and the reaction of the Schalke fans lớn the news. Players being jeered by their own fans in these situations is nothing new. There are two sides lớn this. Schalke is an emotional club, more so than most in the Bundesliga, and the fans are the same. It is clear that they are massively disappointed in the move and how it has been announced and they were always going to express that when they got the chance.

On the other side of this is a player - a young player - who is looking lớn progress and develop, keenly aware of the relative shortness of a footballer's career. Goretzka's development at Schalke has been excellent as he has progressed from the second team lớn a mainstay in the soccer tips every day. In many ways, this move is the next step in his development but the disappointment expressed by Schalke is understandable as they are losing a valuable asset on a free transfer lớn a rival. Their disappointment shows just how good Goretzka has become, his move lớn Bayern is an indication of how good he could be.

The fact that he will be training with some of the best players in the world at world-class facilities will make him a better player. He has, without doubt, all the attributes and skills lớn become a world-class player. The structure and experience at Bayern will give him the platform he needs lớn reach that level but whether he can make the most of his abilities is entirely up to him.

Fierce battle rages beneath Bayern

Bayern's return lớn dominance after an early season wobble means that we are not getting a lot of excitement from the title race. However, if you are looking for thrills and spills, the races for second place, the Champions League and Europa League spots is for you. Four points separate Leverkusen in second from Hannover in 10th. No club has shown enough quality or consistency lớn put a sustained run of results together and pull away from the chasing pack, leaving us with nine legitimate contenders for five Champions/Europa League spots. That is the reason why Eintracht Frankfurt and Hannover are in the mix this season, as they exploit the unexpected weaknesses in Dortmund, Schalke and Mönchengladbach.

Koln on the up but they're still going down

At the other end of the table, the hope and euphoria at Koln continues to build with (as mentioned) another win lớn make it three in a row. They are still four points from the fighting chance afforded by relegation play-off and eight points from the out and out safety of 15th place. Despite this, my opinion of recent weeks has not changed. To survive from this position is all-but impossible. They would need lớn maintain the form of a Champions League-chasing club through the second half of the season if they are lớn claw back the deficit. While their resurgence is impressive, I don't think it is sustainable for all of the remaining matchdays.
