What we need is to have German big boys as Bild, Kicker, etc. go international. An English-reading option would be the first clear step.

Was just reading this: "Klopp: Guardiola will find it tougher at Bayern Munich"

The article is MOSTLY about Kloppo praising the Barca stars and how Pep has an easy time with the Barca stars, as they breathe, eat and sleep with football... But basically the article offers nothing about any revelation regarding our club and the stars. In fact (lol) Klopp is more interested in talking about Barca and Real than about us in that article. The title is misleading much?
I mean this is not the first time (but I had quite enough actually that I just want to ask "why") that English/international media took a piss at us, I know this article is not the strongest evidence of it but you guys know it's all out there. Recent articles that came to my mind was the Schweini's Playboy interview which was titled "Schweinsteiger considering move from Bayern in the future" when all he mentioned was he has a contract with Bayern now that he will fulfill until the end but anything can happen in the future kind of thing. Obviously the biggest one was the whole media dam outburst when Pep was announced as our next coach. Some does praise us as being the "kindred spirit" club to Pep's Barca and the rising status of the Bundesliga. But the majority of the media is all about "Pep snub EPL or Serie A"...
I just don't get it... The Serie A will take a while to catch up to the Bundesliga again (or maybe even not, as we are even catching up to the English). Yet the media will talk about how Serie A is still the 3rd best league or the more interesting league to watch etc... Or about how the EPL offers a much more competition in the league.
I know "people just see/read what they want to see"...
Anddd.... I know I sounds kind of rambling but I care about this a lot. Having lived in five different countries, where 3 of them (huge football supporting countries) are majorly "EPL, EPL, EPL" only or "EPL + RM + Barca" nowadays mixed in with Juventus and the Milan duos. It's a vicious cycle, as with all the media focusing on EPL + Barca + RM + Juve + Milan duos, how will these people know about the Bundesliga, they don't even care about it! And the negative, misleading headline just makes it even worse. They will think that we and the Bundesliga as "second rate"... I mean even until now, people are saying that if any other team besides Bayern won the Bundesliga is because we are not playing well(which is quite untrue - care to smash this, Borrusse?) and not because the league is competitive.
Kind of interesting how the world see this: "Balance of power is shifting in Europe"

Still... very few international media gave Bayern or Dortmund or the Bundesliga the credit that they should be getting...
