Erling Haaland and the Bundesliga Tax

When Jadon Sancho played his last season at Borussia Dortmund his statistics were up there with the best in Europe, but in his debut season at Manchester United his numbers have been anything but…

And he’s not alone, most stars of the Bundesliga fail to reach the same highs when they play in the Premier League. This drop off is known as the Bundesliga Tax.

Why does it happen? Is the Bundesliga alone?

Jon Mackenzie explains, Henry Cooke illustrates.

  1. The supramacy factor is a big reason behind this video as english consider themselves the best people on the planet, you can clearly see how playes loke sane, and mane have stuggeled in the bl

  9. 3 Months later: 8 Games in PL, 14 Goals, 3 consecutive Hattricks, 1,75 goals per match, more goals by him than 2/3 of the EPL-Teams have scored.
    I think PL looks like a farmer league now ^^

  12. Man City Bundesliga Tax

  17. I think they often struggle because sometimes PL Clubs don’t do their scouting right. They just don’t know how to use them properly. A perfect example is Timo Werner. His strength was never finished but his intelligent runs. But they expected him to be a Number 9. Lukaku works Best in a 2 Striker System. Another reason is that often Top-Players of the BuLi move to mediocre or promoted teams. Of course their output gets reduced. I have a feeling that PL Clubs lost the value of money and just don’t know how to scout. Just look at Manchester and Chelsea. In the other hand Liverpool scouts their players and choose carefully.

  21. I feel the stats in the video are incomplete. If you compare the EPL to LA Liga, there's a larger drop off in stats than from LA Liga to EPL, basically meaning players from LA Liga have it easiest adapting to other leagues

  25. The Bungesliga is a top heavy league. The top teams are so much better than the rest of the league, so a team like Dortmund who are loaded with offensive talented is going to produce inflated statistics. Same for Bayern, Leipzig (to an extent). In comparison to the Prem, teams 4-15 are so much stronger in the Prem than in the Bundesliga.
