A look at the cancellations due to injuries in the first round of Bundeliga is enough to see that RB founder Dietrich Mateschitz He also left nothing to chance when it comes to injury prevention.
After finishing fifth in the injury table last year with 37 days lost, RB Leipzig greet them from the top of the standings after the first round of the Bundesliga.
Auch Dietmar Hopp and TSG Hoffenheim are once again in the top 3 in the league, but why is that?
The top clubs from FC Bayern Munich or Bourssia Dortmund are more likely to be at the back of the injury table, as was the case in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga season.
At the end of the second half, FC Bayern was in 9th place and BVB in 17th place in the table, with over 65 days lost per player. TSG Hoffenheim, on the other hand, is back in third place after finishing 2nd in the previous season with just 18.97 days off per athlete.
If the top clubs in the Bundesliga could at least argue last year that the additional burden of UEFA Champions Leauge made an unpleasant contribution to the unsatisfactory performance, these dumb men will probably have to fall silent after RB's participation in Champions Leauge and Europa Leauge this year.
Is it all a coincidence?
Or is it rather because nothing is left to chance? The bulls from RB pay strict attention to the diet of their athletes and analyse in detail any intolerances that could have an impact on players' performance. FC Bayern relies on the expertise of TV chef Alfons Schubeck, because Jupp Heynckes believes nutritionists are “overrated” according to this video.
You can Jupp Heynckes He is also deeply resentful, because the success proves him right after all. But maybe the squad of the record champion is simply good and broad enough to dominate the Bundesliga at will. In addition, FC Bayern can react adequately to any failure, as they have filled all positions twice. But to omit such decisive factors so succinctly in international comparison is borderline.
What is RB Leipzig doing on the other hand? They explore the market and advertise in 2015 Nicklas Dietrich from TSG Hoffenheim, a nutritionist and athletic coach who, among other things, is also responsible for the fitness of the German national team.

Is that reprehensible? Not from our point of view. Every club should strive to ensure the best possible support for its athletes. Mateschitz and Hopp Since the start of their projects, they have been under fire from various fan camps. Despite all allegations, these two gentlemen succeeded in installing the most professional structures in both associations within a short period of time.
With their innovative approaches, they set standards nationwide and are considered pioneers in professionalized training and load management.
Perhaps in the area of injury prevention in many professional clubs in particular, there should be a rethink, if not to protect their athletes, then at least for the benefit of their own wallets.
Why are athletic trainers fobbed off even in the Bundesliga with comparative low salaries when you alone with the twelve-week absence of a Manuel Neuer Could install a whole staff of highly paid experts for an entire season?
