Bundesliga teams have been warned not to field weakened teams against Bayern Munich in the coming campaign. Last season several teams rotated their sides substantially for their games against the champions, indicating that they would prepare to rest players for fixtures they had a better chance of winning. German Football Association president Christian Seifert would not like to see the same again and is even considering ways to punish any club who give Bayern an easy ride. "It destroys the integrity of the game," he told the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. "I would strongly push for consequences if something like that were to happen again." Seifert has not actually considered what action he might take, since he is confident the situation will not arise this season. "It's too soon to speculate about it because I don't think it will happen again," he said. "We've spoken to the clubs about it and I expect every sportsman to have the aim of playing every game the best way they possibly can."
