Yes, so far we can still say that Kompany is the right option for Bayern Munich even though at first the management focused more on other names on the candidate list, but I think we will only be able to confirm that Kompany is really the right option only when Bayern Munich succeeds in thwarting Leverkusen in defending the trophy they won last season.
For the beginning of the season, of course, as we saw, Bayern Munich started the season very well without experiencing a single defeat which made them rank at the top of the standings, and if at the end of the season Bayern Munich really can win the title from Leverkusen then of course we will see something surprising again in the Bundesliga like what Xabi Alonso did for Leverkusen last season, we will see whether Kompany will be able to do the same thing as Xabi Alonso did for his squad or not.
Winning trophies is paramount for Bayern Munchen. If they can achieve this in an unbeaten streak, similar to what Leverkusen accomplished, it would be even more impressive. Kompany managerial abilities, once questioned, are now garnering praise from many due to his team consistent performance. This seems reasonable, considering the depth and quality of his squad. Therefore, it is only right they should be able to win 3 points in every match. However, this weekend, Bayern Munchen will be tested by Leverkusen to the limit of their abilities. We know that the match is not a match to determine the champion, but whoever manages to secure full points deserves to be considered a strong candidate to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. Meanwhile, Kompany courage to take over the role left by Tuchel deserves to be appreciated, when 3 other managers reportedly rejected the offer. Kompany success at Bayern Munchen is not solely measured by domestic consistency, their performance in the Champions League belong important points too.
Actually, if at the end of this season Bayern Munich managed to win the title from Leverkusen, then at first glance it would be an ordinary achievement for Bayern Munich considering that they are a top team in the Bundesliga and as we have seen in previous seasons they have always been able to secure the trophy at the end of the season, but the main point of attention that I find interesting is that now they are undergoing and starting this impressive season with a new coach who is not very popular in his coaching career, this is what I noticed.
On the other hand, I also quite agree with your opinion that whoever manages to get full points in this weekend's match between Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen is worthy enough to be used as a benchmark for who will be the champion at the end of this season, although of course it is not a championship-deciding match but I agree considering that this is a prestigious match between two strong teams, and to be honest I can't draw a conclusion about who will win even though the match will be held at Bayern Munich's home ground considering Leverkusen's unbeaten record last season.
