The same rule in Spain. For example, Barcelona B is 2nd now, they should be promoted to the first division, but they can't because Barcelona Main Sqad is already in that level. Most of the B teams of the first division are in the 3 or 4 level anyway, like in Germany.

I don't know why England fans hate this system so much, look at the Germany and Spain national teams.

As for the argument that it helps clubs to improve players; there is very little difference between playing in a lower division with a "B" team and playing in a lower division on loan. Or playing in a "B" team against another "B" team. The major difference is the level of training facilities available whilst on loan, but that can be negated by providing proper support to players on loan and being selective in who you loan your players to etc.

It's a farce.


B teams doesn't crush everyone, must of the time they stay in the same division.

Last year:
4 teams that went from 2ºB to 2 division , neither were B teams.
18 teams that went from 3º to 2ºB division only 2 were B teams (Celta de VIgo B, Granada B), the other 16 were local teams. [and Zaragoza B, Rallo Vallecano B, Racing B, Osasuna B, Betis B were demoted from 2ºB to 3]

They are a minority, most of the powerful teams in this divisions are local A teams.

B teams are very legit (just like any other team) and help kids grow and learn to play vs great opposition. Barça B don't really top their league very often at all, they have even been demoted in the past.

He can become even more monstrous under Klopp and he can probably score as many goal as Lewandowski.

Seriously, I've seen a lot of Bony in his Chelsea B days and I don't think he's any worse. He might even be better, 20 goals on an average team on his first season. Did you see those legs?

He is literally a "mini" Drogba in terms of physique (aka not as tall) but just as strong, justs as quick and has everything. Shooting from anywhere and scoring. Beastly in the air.
It is quite crazy how Chelsea didn't take him, i have no idea. Some scouts are just terrible in England?
Wonder where he will go.
Ivory Coast found another beastly striker lol.

In Germany many teams have a second squad, usually playing 2-4 leagues below the main team.
Example : Regionalliga Bayern (regional league bavaria)
[image loading]

It is forbidden for both of them to play in the same league.

The rules state that there has to be two leagues difference between both teams. So the farthest you can get is first and thrid league.

He is "must sign" player for Arsenal if you ask me.

If Wenger not going to spend +60m on someone like Falcao/Costa, then he should sign Bony no matter what. He is much better than Giroud imo. Bony scored +15 goals with Swansea in this season, now imagine him in front of Özil, Cazorla and Ramsey :D

Still Bony would be sick on Dortmund too :D imagine him playing umschaltspiel along with Reus&co :3

As far I know, Leverkusen II doesnt exist next year. Rudi Voeller said "It doesnt make sense anymore because only ~18yo players can break the line and play for Leverkusen A-team so that why we are dropping Leverkusen II". There is another german team who plays without B team next year and agrees Voeller's statement.

I need Zeo to translate this for us BeaTeR, seems a bit fishy to me that interview. Why the hell he even in Serbian shirt doing an interview for Serbian FA now for? They didn't qualify for the world cup nor do they play any games soon :s

A lot of "local clubs" dont want to get into 3rd league.

I personally live in Heimstetten (Ranked 14th hell yea!) and they spend 22 Million € (the "city", more a village helped) on their football complex. And it isn´t anything fancy it has 2 grass fields, one with around 50 roofed seats and on artificial turf field. Most clubs just cant affort that.

You think he would say that lol? Ivanovic go to an interview i was laughing at Gerrard and Suarez crying last night along with the other Chelsea players. Not winning the league at least we could laugh at that, etc?
Surely that isn't right XD

Also i mean the questions he was getting asked seemed more something you discuss with friends not with press from your own country XD
