Who could forget those sleepless nights last summer watching Germany beat Brazil(巴西) and Argentina(阿根廷) to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?
It was their fourth World Cup， and it gave them the No.1 position in FIFA(国际足联). Germany is becoming the most important soccer team in the world. But how has this change happened? A newspaper offers a clue： “For over 10 years， German teams have been building in the right way.”
After Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships， Germans wondered why the country no longer produced good young players. So in 2001， the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (德甲) clubs set up schools with youth teams from Under-12s to Under-23s.
The clubs now spend over €100 million (764 million yuan) on youth development every year. And they have improved young German players enough to put them among the best in Europe. For example， Bayern Munich(拜仁慕尼黑队) player Thomas Mueller， 25， who scored five times at the 2014 World Cup， was educated in one of the schools.
More than anything， though， it is team work that has pushed the Bundesliga forward. Bayern is the richest team in Germany， but the team helps its rivals (竞争者) when needed.
