Sure. But I think what they are usually defending isn’t Bayern, they hate us. They are defending their own clubs from unwarranted criticism. The best example being Dortmund. They sold us exactly one player through the years who they could have kept. That was Hummels. They couldn’t do anything about Götze or Lewandowski. They even desperately tried to get Lewandowski to go to Real. He didn’t want to.I don't think anyone really hates the Bundesliga, per se.
I think there's 2 things in general - 1) It's more the air or moral superiority and tone that fans of Bundesliga teams seem to exude.
2) They also come across a bit desperate when defending Bayern to non-BL football fans. For example, can you imagine fans of say, United, City or Spurs defending Liverpool to fans of another league? All a bit odd really.
And yet they get to hear how they somehow bend over for us, whenever we want. I think part of it is that some people on here are a little butthurt that United‘s transfers from Dortmund didn’t work out at all.
People on here keep blaming the rest of the league for Bayern‘s monopoly on players instead of realising that there’s just not much those clubs can do about it.
Also people on here don’t seem to understand the effort Bayern put in recruiting and charming players. The club isn’t randomly tapping up players when needed. Some transfers take years of preparation. Goretzka was already being courted before he was even 18 years old.
Of course he moves to Bayern and not abroad in a case like that.
