Bayern Munich now have a problem, it will be competitive enough to make the ones serious. Bayer Leverkusen greased the entire competitive race for them to be smooth and free up from the shackles of defeats. That's exactly what a good coach brings to the table, he knows when to divert and go in search of new formation for his team. Always play major role as the front-runner of the club, Xabi Alonso deserves all the accolades he could possibly lay hands on them.
What Xabi Alonso has done at Bayer Leverkusen deserves awards and praises as he is able to change a team that used to be unable to win into a team that won in a full season. And that will continue to be done by Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen next season so that it may remain a serious problem for Bayern Munich next season which will be handled by their new coach and targeting better results too. However, I am still more confident for Leverkusen than Munich next season because considering Leverkusen is still coached by Xabi Alonso and there are still some old players in the Leverkusen squad itself.

Even if Kompany uses key players in his squad for this match, he is unlikely to include key players in the starting XI. In the second half, he may bring experienced players on the field as substitutes. But if Bayern Munich's youngsters can perform well, perhaps Kompany will rest key players in his squad for this match.
However, the match is important for Kompany. Because we all criticized the Munich management for giving an experienced man the job of coach of a big team like Munich. Kompany is not experienced. Moreover, it cannot be said that his coaching career is good. Even so, the Munich management remains confident in the KOmpany. KOmpany will try to prove his ability in the match against Tottenham.
I don't think Kompany will want to leave the dealing of Tottenham to small boys and may want to use some of his big boys, although not all of them to avoid the issue of missing them to injury. I'd agree with you that many criticized Bayern Munich's choices when they went for Vincent considering he wasn't able to help his team to success in the Premier league and felt it's a big step down from what they're used to having but the Belgian is steadily proving that he's still got what it takes to be a good coach, provided he's supplied with the necessary players.However, the match is important for Kompany.

Tottenham will be going into this game with great preparation being that they are faced with a very stubborn German side who have got two of their ex players and knowing how ruthless Bayern can be in friendlies, won't want to be caught off guard.
If Kompany feels very important in this match then Bayern Munich will play with their main squad in this match. However, as a result, Bayern Munich players are likely to get injured. We have seen a few days ago that Manchester United's main striker Hojlund is facing an injury. These friendly matches are very risky unless the players perform very carefully. Now it remains to be seen if Kompany keeps the key players in his squad in the starting XI for this match.
The Tottenham team is in good form. But Tottenham's defense is a bit weak now. Tottenham played against Korea League Stars in last friendly match. Tottenham won this match by 3-4. Min Son scored two goals in this match. Tottenham will likely play with their main squad against Bayern.
Even if Kompany uses key players in his squad for this match, he is unlikely to include key players in the starting XI. In the second half, he may bring experienced players on the field as substitutes.

I would say that Bayern Munich will not play in this match aiming to win against Tottenham. Vincent Kompany will try to test his squad's ability in this match. At the same time he will experiment with his match strategy. Kompany is not an experienced enough coach. So it will be challenging for Kompany to keep the performance of this Munich squad stable.
I think Kompany will keep his core players but will not play the full match. The friendly match against Tottenham will be a real challenge for Kompany. If Kompany only plays bench players or young players then he will not be able to evaluate the tactics that he will apply. This will make things more difficult when the competition starts. I think every team that has a new coach will use pre-season games as an evaluation material, and some teams with a solid squad will play pre-season games as an experience for their bench players or young players.Even if Kompany uses key players in his squad for this match, he is unlikely to include key players in the starting XI.

What Xabi Alonso has done at Bayer Leverkusen deserves awards and praises as he is able to change a team that used to be unable to win into a team that won in a full season. And that will continue to be done by Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen next season so that it may remain a serious problem for Bayern Munich next season which will be handled by their new coach and targeting better results too. However, I am still more confident for Leverkusen than Munich next season because considering Leverkusen is still coached by Xabi Alonso and there are still some old players in the Leverkusen squad itself.
I think this is worth noting by Xabi because in any case for now the pressure and expectations for Leverkusen are increasing especially since their status is the defending champion so this is the real test for Leverkusen because they have to give their best as a counterbalance to them in the previous 2 seasons.
What Xabi did was also quite good because apart from Aleix Garcia who was indeed prioritized in the midfield, it seems that the defenders and striker positions were also updated because the rotation of players due to the tight schedule next season could be disruptive so they immediately brought in 2 Rennes players, Martin Terrier and Jeanuël Belocian as reinforcements for the attack line and defense line.

Normally Leverkusen still been coached by xabi will be a good reason for people to think Leverkusen is going to continually remain untouchable but the fact remains that they are not going to find it as easy as they did last season and if only others like Bayern Munich is determined, they can be able to be a challenge to Leverkusen such that they can even get to the point where they took can have a chance with any of the trophies they will be hoping to win as they couldn't get any trophy last season.
Since Leverkusen is still under Xabi Alonso management and most key players remain in Leverkusen squad, it is very reasonable if people believe Leverkusen will dominate again Bundesliga. Even if I'm not sure if Leverkusen can defend their unbeaten record, Leverkusen should have high chance to win again the trophy. I know Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Stuttgart can be serious competitors for Leverkusen but they seem quite struggling and aren't likely strong enough to dominate Bundesliga. Especially for Bayern Munich, people are very doubtful with the new coach, Kompany. I personally will bet for Leverkusen again. Leverkusen is a strong candidate, they will be more mature in the next season. I believe Xabi has got some lessons from the mistakes in the last season. Xabi must change his tactics, he won't repeat to let the opponents to score first. I guess Leverkusen will play with more offensive players on the lineup and they will try to score earlier. It is a mistake to conceded goals first, this tactic didn't work well when they played against Atalanta in the final of Europa league.

Finally, Dortmund decided to improve the team by hiring a player and this time they hired Pascal Groß the player of Germany's national team who can help Dortmund a lot based on the past performance we saw from this German player. Groß is a 33-year-old player who played for Brighton for seven years but after years of playing there, now he wants to leave the team and start playing for Dortmund.
Groß played in 261 games for Brighton.

Xabi Alonso is perfect, he formulates the game pattern of the club, they won important titles. Bayer Leverkusen can solved themselves out for next season, facing challenges but absolutely nothing to worry about because the constant breathing of competitive races comes from their close oppositions, we're looking at Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Borrusia Dortmund. These teams serves as headaches for Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso elevated the standard form of Bayer Leverkusen previous season and they're categorized into the best clubs in Bundesliga.

While I do agree that Xabi and Leverusen trying one more time means that they have a chance, lets not give them a high chance just because they won it last year. We have seen many smaller teams do amazing for one season and then suck another season, so we could totally see them not do that well this year. I understand that it will hurt all of their stock value, but they may still end up not being that great.
These are the odds for next season champion in the Bundesliga. You see how much Bayern Munich are favoured anyway.
Is it surprising though? I think it isn't. Because just because Leverkusen became champions by being very dominant one time, bookmakers can't favour them all of a sudden. Bayern Munich are still far ahead of any other team in general.However we will see how Xabi Alonso will answer that this time. 3.50 are nice odds to make use of. But not useful as long as betting a small amount on it. Honestly I don't want to think of placing any outrights bet before watching some performances.
I think in this match it is better to bet on Bayer Leverkusen, the structure in Bayer Leverkusen has not changed and Xabi is still focused on his goals, we cannot look down on him just because of such simple speculation.
So, if we consider some factors to determine the team likely to win next season's Bundesliga, the odds given to Leverkusen are not because betting companies are underestimating them. I'm not saying they can't win it, but the truth is that they are not favorites to win it like Bayern Munich.

However, I am still more confident for Leverkusen than Munich next season because considering Leverkusen is still coached by Xabi Alonso and there are still some old players in the Leverkusen squad itself.
I want to see how much observers think that Leverkusen will be able to continue their good trend this season. I think there will be big pressure for Xabi Alonso this season because in his first season he was so successful and if he fades this season of course his good work will only last for 1 season. However, if Xabi Alonso succeeds in maintaining this season's journey with great concentration with a series of wins and competing at the top, then his career as a coach will be even better and worthy of being on par with other top European coaches such as Pep or Ancelotti.On the one hand, Leverkusen did not build the team with big money like Bayern Munich did, so Leverkusen's strength will be difficult to predict this season. Indeed, when another team appears with the best strength, that's when we will see competition that is more interesting and not boring.
Bayern Munich now have a problem, it will be competitive enough to make the ones serious. Bayer Leverkusen greased the entire competitive race for them to be smooth and free up from the shackles of defeats. That's exactly what a good coach brings to the table, he knows when to divert and go in search of new formation for his team. Always play major role as the front-runner of the club, Xabi Alonso deserves all the accolades he could possibly lay hands on them.

However, I am still more confident for Leverkusen than Munich next season because considering Leverkusen is still coached by Xabi Alonso and there are still some old players in the Leverkusen squad itself.Yes indeed, although maybe Bayer Leverkusen will not get a winning streak like last season, but I still believe Bayer Leverkusen will remain strong in the race for the Bundesliga trophy next season. Because after all, Bayer Leverkusen will also play in the Champions League, and of course Xabi Alonso will also make his best efforts to make Bayer Leverkusen go further in the Champions League. With these factors, it seems difficult to repeat their success last season without defeat.
But anyway, because Bayern Munich are still likely to be difficult to get great dominance like when they won consecutive trophies. Then of course, it will make other teams in the Bundesliga will make their best efforts also to get success like Bayer Leverkusen. With the decline experienced by Bayern Munich like that, then I believe the competition in the Bundesliga will become more competitive because other teams currently have the chance to be at the top of the standings.

I would say that Bayern Munich will not play in this match aiming to win against Tottenham. Vincent Kompany will try to test his squad's ability in this match. At the same time he will experiment with his match strategy. Kompany is not an experienced enough coach. So it will be challenging for Kompany to keep the performance of this Munich squad stable.
I think Kompany will keep his core players but will not play the full match. The friendly match against Tottenham will be a real challenge for Kompany. If Kompany only plays bench players or young players then he will not be able to evaluate the tactics that he will apply. This will make things more difficult when the competition starts. I think every team that has a new coach will use pre-season games as an evaluation material, and some teams with a solid squad will play pre-season games as an experience for their bench players or young players.it should be, or at least Vincent Kompany can play will play his core squad in the remaining two pre-season matches they play. although usually key players will not be played in full, or just to maintain the fitness of the team. yes, apart from so that players do not experience bad luck and injury. but at least, at least the core players will be played either only in the first half or towards the end of the match. this is quite important and not only as an evaluation material, but includes many things. in the match against Spurs, Bayern will most likely not play their full core players. some are rested and others as usual only play as a warm-up. as I said, apart from the system experiment, evaluation and so on.
On the other hand, it is not certain that Spurs will also field their core squad. after all this match is a friendly match, apart from all the plans and efforts that the coaches have previously prepared, starting with tactics, strategies, systems and so on. we can also refer to the odds for both teams, both Bayern or Spurs, both have pretty good odds and my speculation is that this match has the potential to end in a draw. well, both the first and second posts, there is nothing wrong with that. we will find out when these two teams meet, and examine and review the results of this friendly match.
These are the odds for next season champion in the Bundesliga. You see how much Bayern Munich are favoured anyway.
Is it surprising though? I think it isn't. Because just because Leverkusen became champions by being very dominant one time, bookmakers can't favour them all of a sudden.

But not useful as long as betting a small amount on it. Honestly I don't want to think of placing any outrights bet before watching some performances.The bookmakers are always going to favour Bayern Munich just as they'll favour Manchester city in the premier league to win the title. Bayern Munich has been a dominate club for so long that it is going to be impossible to overlook them of winning the season. For my opinion, the only thing that can make them to not win is their coach but it Vincent Kompany uses his sense very well. He will be capable of winnings the title. He has the players and the money to buy who he wants. The board members are backing him and everything might just work out very fine for him if he doesn't get buried in the pressure that come to win the title.
The Bundesliga has not yet started, and actually, we can't fully say much about it now. Kompany can be a better head coach for Bayern Munich that may lead them to achieve some trophies, as he has quality players on his side now. Last season, when Burnley was playing in the Premier League, I didn't think they had many quality players that could compete in the Premier League. But let's wait and see what will happen; the season is very close to starting.
Although the company is a great manager and is true because he always tries his best to bring more quality players to any teams that they transfer him to, in this case, I am fully sure that the company can make Bayern Munich's performance better in the coming season. But the only thing I still double about Bayer Munich is there consistency. They're lack of inconsistency; they can only start the league with good performances, and if the league is coming to an end, they will relax.
According to how many people are anticipate this coming Bundesliga, it will be much tougher than last season. With the way I can see, every team are trying to sign a better squad, but football is all about win or lose, so one most happened.
While I do agree that Xabi and Leverusen trying one more time means that they have a chance, lets not give them a high chance just because they won it last year. We have seen many smaller teams do amazing for one season and then suck another season, so we could totally see them not do that well this year.

Bayern Munich is a big club with a fantastic reputation. The league favored them last season, resulting in their loss of the League Cup and Champions League. If you look at the players that Bayern Leverkusen has and compare them to the Bayern Munich group, you will notice that Munich has more experience than Xavi Alonso. The odd that they put they rate the clubs and next season will be tough because Munich won't let Leverkusen get the opportunity and win them and get the chance of getting the Bundesliga title anymore, and that is why they leave Tuchel and bring new coach because they are ready for Next season to battle with the clubs that try to challenge them in the league.
Harry Kane still wants to win titles before retiring from football, and if the new coach does his best, I am confident he will defeat Xavi Alonso and win trophies for Munich next season, because I don't see any clubs that can stop Leverkusen if not Munich. Dortmund isn't doing well because they try in the UCL but not in the league. And Munich has a friendly game against Tottenham, let us see if Munich's new coach has the chance to win the Premier League clubs. Tottenham is a tough opponent, but since it is a friendly, I don't think they will put out much effort.
Vincent KOmpany is not taking any risk at this time. Kompany will certainly not want any key player in his squad to suffer an injury before the start of the season. Harry Kane is the most important player and scorer in Bayern Munich's squad. If Kane faces an injury, it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to continue their good performances next season. So Harry Kane is likely to be out of the squad for both friendlies against Tottenham.
I would say that Bayern Munich will not play in this match aiming to win against Tottenham. Vincent Kompany will try to test his squad's ability in this match. At the same time he will experiment with his match strategy. Kompany is not an experienced enough coach. So it will be challenging for Kompany to keep the performance of this Munich squad stable.

What matters most is testing the players and their capabilities, him not been experience will not just come if he doesn’t try those players out. He has a lot on him for next season and I hope he’s able to do well with the good squad he has in his team. Vincent Kompany since given the position of the head coach of Bayern Munich have received a lot of negative comments on him too small to handle a big team like Bayern Munich but it doesn’t look like that to me. He might be the best choice for the team that they may be waiting to come all along. If he’s able to take Bayern Munich to triumph next season, he’ll be well sought out for by new clubs and his time at Bayern Munich can as well be extended and get an increase in salary. We just have to wait to see what he can offer as the new coach of the giants of the German league.

I don't know why Kompany experience is underrated this much. You cannot say anything about Kompany's performance in Bayern Munich as of now because you have not seen any of his matches and you haven't seen the type of strategy he will be using when playing, but I can see that you have already concluded that Kompany has not experienced enough. Kompany has promoted a team for the Premier League before, and I think even that achievement is enough for us to have some credibility that he can manage Bayern Munich successfully even if it does not start coming immediately, though all I believe is that Bayern Munich management knows why they signed him as their manager.
I think people are underrating Kompany based on his past performances, and that is how it is supposed to be. Players and head coaches are always judged based on their past performances. Kompany has coached only one team, which I think is Burnley. From the record, Burnley was not that great. Kompany coached Burnley and got the team promoted to the Premier League from the Championship but later got them relegated again. So, from my observations too, if Kompany had been a great head coach, I don't think Burnley would have gotten relegated.
The Bundesliga has not yet started, and actually, we can't fully say much about it now. Kompany can be a better head coach for Bayern Munich that may lead them to achieve some trophies, as he has quality players on his side now. Last season, when Burnley was playing in the Premier League, I didn't think they had many quality players that could compete in the Premier League. But let's wait and see what will happen; the season is very close to starting.
