The opportunity for Xabi Alonso to regain or defend the Bundesliga title is still there, or still wide open for him, but perhaps the problem is that most likely this season will not be as easy as last season, but after we see how Bayern Munich performed with their new coach along with Leipzig's impressive performance and Dortmund is also included in it, then I think I can't be sure or guarantee that Leverkusen will be able to defend the title they previously won, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Leipzig started the season without losing, but of course it is too early to conclude the overall strength of the team when the season has just started, meaning changes or shifts in position in the standings are very possible.

I also think Leverkusen led by Xabi Alonso can still win Bundesliga title but it will be tough. This season Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Dortmund are playing very well. Leverkusen won the title before but it is hard to do it again. Bayern Munich has new coach and Leipzig is playing amazingly. Dortmund is also strong.

It is too early to know how the season will end. These top teams have not lost yet but that can change. Injuries, team problems and strategy changes can affect team success. Leverkusen needs to play consistently and adapt to stay in title race. Alonso leadership and tactics will be crucial.

Yeah, the number of goals scored by Bayern Munich is fantastic but it is true that a victory against a team such Holstein Kiel is not something to celibate about.
Bayern Munich totally dominated that game that they even scored a goal since the beginning and added the second before even 10 minutes pass in that match.
Later, Kane added more goals and scored a hattrick.
Bayern Munich is leading the ranking with two points difference from the others and 3 points in front of Bayer Leverkusen. It is good but we are still in the first rounds and more serious games will come later.

I think every winning is worth celebrating as no three point is more three points than the other. I love as Bayern Munic is taking every match seriously and not underestimating any team. I expect them to win the league clean this year to avoid the mistake of last year. I was not even expecting Holstein Kiel to score a goal in the match even though they played at home. This is because Bayern Munic have to set high standards that will make it practically difficult for any team to score them. That way it becomes certain that the title is theirs this season. Dortmund is the major contender they will have to be mindful of.

Yea, I really do share the same sentiment as you bro, I believe that this season will be totally different from last season for Bayern Munich, because they have improved a lot compared to how they were last season and if you look at their tempo right now, it's very much high compared to the kind of intensity they were giving out last season, because this season their intensity is very much higher and to be frank I really don't sees any team standing in their way this season if they can maintain this particular form and standard they are putting out in the field of play.
Though some football fan might argue that it's still early days, that we shouldn't conclude yet, which is quite understandable, but in my own opinion base on what I have seen so far from this Bayern Munich side, I believe that they have all it takes to maintain this form and win the title this season.

Bayern Munich is very fantastic because today they can able to beat Holstein Kiel with huge scores and i think so far Kompany has successfully to proven to the people that he is deserved to being an Bayern Munich manager and i can see Bayern Munich under him is very productive because they can scores 11 goals total in 3 matches and during the match i can see Bayern Munich is very dominate the game because according to the statistics Bayern Munich has 71% ball possession and 23 total of shot and at least until week 3 Bayern Munich is still stable because among all of Bundesliga team only Bayern Munich who can able to gets 3 winning streak

This results speaks volume a whole lot, I mean it's a message to all and sundry in the Germans bundesliga that Munich is definitely not playing and that this season they are probably ready to give much more than the regular they have given out all this while especially last season so it's an indication they may be back to winning way, although their opponent was a weak one but the victory margin is just too wide to overlook, these players actually put up and opposition and resistance but like before, they had an edge that got the resistance broken and they got through to winning ways.

Basically Hoffenheim is not a strong team like Leipzig, so even though Hoffenheim played at home, Hoffenheim also had no chance of winning, because the odds in the match also proved that Bayer Leverkusen was highly favored to win. True enough, because Bayer Leverkusen also managed to win with a big score even though they did not win with clean sheets, but the victory with a score of 1-4 was still a very good result for Bayer Leverkusen.

Yes, that makes sense, because if you look at the statistics, Leverkusen dominated the match. Plus, Leverkusen also had a lot of attacking efforts, there were 20 shots in total. And 8 of them were shots on target. So from the 9 shots on target and they were able to score 4 goals, that makes sense. It's just that actually, Hoffenheim's counter attacks were also quite good. They were even able to make 5 shots on target, but only 1 became a goal. Leverkusen's defense this time was also recognized as strong enough to withstand various counter attacks from Hoffenheim.

Yes, Union Berlin were almost eliminated from the Bundesliga last season, they had a very significant decline and finally survived, they should have corrected their mistakes in the past, and they learned how they can survive Leipzig in yesterday's match, a draw is better than defeat.

In this match, Leipzig's attacking lines were quite bad, their game was not accurate enough. especially when they had the chance to score from a penalty kick, it turned out they didn't succeed. yes, this was quite stressful because Louis Openda failed in the penalty kick, this made one of their chances to win really fail.

Source: Leipzig miss penalty

Honestly in this match, F. Ronnow really performed well, how many saves he made, especially during the penalty kick by Louis Openda. So cool.

I think that was the win that Kompany needed to really get going in Munich. It was a demonstration of their power and now he can focus on refining the team's offensive and defensive power. But this huge victory definitely takes some weight off his shoulders. It was a landslide win for them and for the time being probably shut the mouth of the critics. I thought that Bayern would have more problems in the early phase of the season, but they now put out a statement and let the Bundesliga know that they are serious about it.

However, Bayer Leverkusen beating Hoffenheim 4-1 away from home was pretty much the strongest counter they could deliver. While Bayern beats Kiel, beating Hoffenheim 4-1 away from home is a strong answer.

You are right. If Leverkusen want to be Bundesliga champions again, they will have to be at their best. Because Bayern Munich, one of the rivals for the Bundesliga title, is in good form this season. Also the performance of the Leipzig team is very good this season. Dortmund's players are also playing well now. So Leverkusen's players must perform better if they want to occupy the top spot in the table.

Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso is very talented. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season with the help of Alonso. The Leverkusen coach was able to find out the weaknesses of his squad in the match against Leipzig this season. And Alonso has managed to minimize the problems within his squad to a great extent. And that's why we saw a packed performance from Leverkusen's players against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen will face Feyenoord in the Champions League in a few days. This match is very important for Leverkusen. But the Feyenoord team is also strong enough. It will not be easy for Leverkusen to win this away match.

There are contenders fro the title now no doubt but I think Xabi Alonso who was able to win last season despite the fact that these teams you mentioned were on their above average best so I feel he can still do it again. Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany are on fire but let's see for how long they can hold up. When the going gets tough is when we'd know who is indeed deserving of lifting the trophy this season.

The opportunity for Xabi Alonso to regain or defend the Bundesliga title is still there, or still wide open for him, but perhaps the problem is that most likely this season will not be as easy as last season, but after we see how Bayern Munich performed with their new coach along with Leipzig's impressive performance and Dortmund is also included in it, then I think I can't be sure or guarantee that Leverkusen will be able to defend the title they previously won, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Leipzig started the season without losing, but of course it is too early to conclude the overall strength of the team when the season has just started, meaning changes or shifts in position in the standings are very possible.

Kompay is a very good coach, it was just unfortunate that he found himself in a team that didn't have what it takes to compete in the premier league last season. When they were still in the championship and playing with teams with same calibre he proved himself and won promotion for the first time of asking.

You can talk about Vincent Kompany's incredible performances since he joined Bayern Munich without talking down on Burnley. When Burnley appointed him as the club's manager, they were still playing in the second division but he was the one that helped them get promotion to the English Premier League but was unable to help them avoid relegation in his first season with the club.
Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany have been spectacular as they've been able to win all league games they've played this season. Hopefully for Kompany, he goes on to win at least one major trophy before the end of the season.

Holstein Kiel got promoted to the top flight of the German league this season so I understand what you mean when by saying there's nothing too special about beating them but lest you've forgotten, what Bayern Munich won a league game against them and that I think is enough reason to celebrate the win. Bayern's dominance of the game didn't came as a surprise to me because I never gave Holstein Kiel a chance to get a result from the game

I think the squad in the Bayern Munich team can not be compared to that of Holstein, if you watched the game you will observe that the away team has a lot of average players which is not up to the standard of the players in the Bayern Munich team so the result is always expected to go in favour of Bayern Munich because they have the better team.

Bayern Munich showed high Level of superiority against Holstein trashing them to prove that they are the better team I think the score line may not have been expected but the win was expected because Bayern Munich is the better team.

Harry Kane was instrumental in the team helping them to get an easy win and scoring his first hat- trick of the season to keep his goal record to 49 in 49 games played for Bayern Munich.

Of course it can't be compared because Bayern Munich is the Bundesliga champion and their opponent is a promotion team this season, so it's quite clear that Bayern Munich's team strength is stronger. I saw the match where Bayern Munich could easily build many attacks and score many goals. The biggest victory for Bayern Munich this season and they are the favorite team to win the title this season.

Regarding Harry Kane's performance, of course there is no doubt that he will return to being the top scorer this season because he is so active in scoring. Kompany seems like he will easily bring change to Bayern Munich in his first season because so far the defending champion team has had difficulty maintaining their best performance.

Close competitors, Dortmund, have shown their strength because they managed to beat Heidenheim which made them sit in second place in the standings. Meanwhile, I think this season we will see Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the title race because Leverkusen have not shown their best performance.

Actually xabi may not have too many challenges with replicating the results he got at the end of last season but the challenge will fall back to trying to replicate the records, the team that are present now wee actually present when he did all he did last season, the difference now is going to be in that there's a new and different realization than there was last season when they are dealing with Leverkusen, least season, most team may have been seeing them as a weak or probably average team and that was an advantage for them but now they are definitely seeing them as an A-lister team and wouldn't compromise any Chance against them so for Leverkusen it's more challenge.

But if anyone is saying that Brussia Dortmund is better than Bayer Leverkusen such a person is absolutely not making a wrong claims. The only arguments you guys are making here in favour of Bayer Leverkusen is their last season's unbeaten campaign which culminated to their winning the Bundlesliga title whereas Brussia Dortmund has consistently been in a top outstanding form in all seasons for the past one decade both in the Bundlesliga and champions league competition's.

For this current season we don't know for sure how far Bayer Leverkusen will go in maintaining their performance especially in the champions league and even in the Bundesliga but am quite sure that Brussia Dortmund as usual will make it far than Xabi Alonso and his boys this time in all competition's.

I don't see much chance for Leverkusen to win the title this season. This team did great last season and they went undefeated to win the local league title but this season is definitely tough for them. Bayern Munich have played two matches so far this season where they have earned full points in both matches. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have played two matches but lost one, meaning they are currently 3 points behind Bayern Munich. If we compare the performance of Leverkusen with Dortmund then we must put Bayern Munich ahead in the performance of the first two matches because they have not lost any of the two matches, they have won one match and they have drawn one match.

Whether Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga title is not possible so quickly. Bayern Munich have won their first two matches. However, Munich's performance in the first match against Wolfsburg was not good. Several weaknesses in Munich's squad are still quite visible. Leverkusen, on the other hand, lost against Leipzig. However, the teams have barely played two matches each. There is still a long journey ahead. Therefore, it is not yet possible to say for sure which team will be the Bundesliga champions.

I think if Kompany's target is just to dominate the Bundesliga then maybe Munich can win the Bundesliga title. However, if the KOmpany tries to dominate the Champions League and Bundesliga at the same time, it will be difficult for Munich to maintain the consistency of good performances.

There is not much difference between the teams that are in the Bundesliga and the teams that are placed as favourites. There is no way to say that Bayern Munich's performance is much better than any other team because I still see some obvious weaknesses in Bayern Munich's defense and finishing positions. There is no doubt why Harry is a great finisher but he is not getting good ball supply from midfield or from left or right wing positions due to which he is not able to finish well. If the defense midfield and finishing positions are not better then a doubt will remain about Bayern Munich winning the title this season.

What differentiates a club that's for a winning mentality from the others is their ability to get back up when they fall and that was the case for Bayer Leverkusen. Infact the scoreline I saw yesterday wasn't surprising as thats their stock in trade and I hope to see more from them. As it is Bayern Munich are back to contending for the title and not just them but others as well and this means more competition so they need to continue the way they did last season if they hope to repeat the action of lifting the trophy.

What's happening with Leverkusen was my fear before the beginning of this season, it's not really bad yet but if Bayern gaps it more, it can't regain it, mark my word. These underdog clubs do not often replicate the success, it's often as if they were injected with adrenaline when they win big but wears off over time. It happened with Leicester City in the EPL, and Napoli in the Serie A, why can't it happen with Leverkusen in Bundesliga? The fear is worth it.

With the 3 points away from Bayern, Leverkusen is losing it gradually and beating Hoffenheim is nothing to me because it's obvious they were many times better than the club, it's when they face tougher clubs that we will be able to effectively judge their current standing which would also couple with more matches of random challenges faced over time. But I doubt if Leverkusen will lift the trophy this season.

Bayern Munich really tried in their game yesterday to score up to six goals, even though we know that one of the six is an own goal. They are now at the top of the table, even though a lot of games are still coming. I know they will try their best because they are normally the well-known winners of the Bundesliga, and I think that is what they want to achieve this season. That is why they are playing with a nice and good performance.

More over, even though it is the beginning of the league this season, there is still an interval between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen because Bayern Munich are the first in the table and Bayer Leverkusen are the 5th in the table, even though there is only an interval of 3 points between them.

Leipzig was quite overwhelmed against Union Berlin, I was a little upset because previously Leipzig was able to beat Bayer Leverkusen but it was very difficult to beat Union Berlin in the match, even though overall the match Leipzig dominated the ball very well, it's just that the opportunities that are obtained do not produce goals at all, Union Belin focuses on defense and makes its defense very difficult to penetrate.

Union Berlin has also been forthcoming in holding Leipzig tight when they played in their previous fixtures. Analyzing from the last five games both clubs had fixtured each other, Union Berlin had won 3 times over Leipzig home and away combined while Leipzig won twice of the fixtures which are found in the most recent games. This suggests that both clubs are working on understanding their patterns with Leipzig improving more on the performance of their games. What caused the draw in this match was not far fetched from the lack of efforts made by the strikers which made the offensive side more weak and struggled to convert their opportunities to goals.

Leipzig managed to win over Leverkusen last week because they implemented a defensive strategy and relied on quick counterattacks, they knew Xabi Alonso squad played aggressively and attacked too much, leaving their defense more open. The same strategy will not be effective when facing a team that implements the same strategy, as proven by both teams being unable to penetrate the opponent defense. While the head to head record could have other influences, what is clear is that Leipzig victory last week was more based on luck. Union Berlin is actually trying to rise, after last season slump and almost being relegated. A draw is actually quite fair for both teams, because both teams were unable to score goals. Indeed, in terms of ball possession, Leipzig is more dominant, but in terms of scoring opportunities both only collected 3 opportunities.

Your view is correct, if you look at the strategy used, Leipzig really played a fast counter-attacking game because that was their chance to get a win from Bayer Leverkusen, but I don't agree that the victory was lucky, I agree more that they deserved to win because they had the idea to get a win from Bayer Leverkusen.

Yes, Union Berlin were almost eliminated from the Bundesliga last season, they had a very significant decline and finally survived, they should have corrected their mistakes in the past, and they learned how they can survive Leipzig in yesterday's match, a draw is better than defeat.

Leverkusen's performance against Hoffenheim was very composed. In the previous match we saw poor performances from Leverkusen's players. It's been a long time since Leverkusen lost a Bundesliga match. Leverkusen lost 3-2 against Leipzig. Leverkusen lost the match due to the weakness of their defense. And I'd say Leverkusen needed to lose this match. Leverkusen's players will be desperate for a win against Hoffenheim after losing their previous match. And in this match the boys of Leverkusen played brilliantly.

The performance of Hoffenheim players was good in this match. Hoffenheim wanted to win their home match. So Hoffenheim players played attacking from the beginning of the match. But Leverkusen's forwards and defenders both had solid performances. So Hoffenheim's players could not break Leverkusen's defense even after trying hard. If Leverkusen continues this form, Munich vs Leverkusen in the last week of this month is going to be a very competitive match.

You need to be on your best if you hope to beat the best in Bundesliga and Hoffenheim were reminded why Bayer Leverkusen were able to win the league last season with their composed pattern of play, their ruthless attacks and their unending desire for goals. I liked what I saw from Xabi Alonso's boys and I expect to see more of them when they pair against bigger sides so it won't look like they excel when they meet small teams.

Leverkusen is a club that surprised everyone last season because of their outstanding performance which they displayed and it was with the help of Xabi Alonso that brought success to them. I still see them being able to win big teams in their domestic league but I cannot say about UCL.

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

What Leverkusen did last season is a very difficult thing to repeat both by Leverkusen again or other teams in the Bundesliga today, Leverkusen unbeaten record which lasted from last season or almost 462 days is quite impressive because of the status of Leverkusen which was indeed not a big team previously in bundesliga, after a long time of endure, but Leipzig was surprisingly able to break the record.
This season Leverkusen will play in the Champions League and I think it will be a very big challenge for Alonso at the moment, the failure in the Europa League last season will certainly be a lesson for Alonso this season to start their new adventure in the Champions League first time as coach.
Speaking of Leipzig, of course the victory over Leverkusen does not mean that they deserve to be considered as the favorites to win this season, as well as the first defeat obtained by Leverkusen this season which will not make them out of the status of the team as the favorite to win this season, what happened to Leverkusen this season shows if the top teams of the Bundesliga have had a good balance in their squad, so maybe that we will see More competitive competition this season in the title race.

Leverkusen under the guidance of Xabi Alonso has performed very well. I am sure that last season neither the club nor Alonso targeted to win the Bundesliga, but as the competition progressed, playing match after match with victory, in the end they worked hard to try to break the dominance of the German League giants. as we know, they were able to make it happen. in the Champions League, although it can be said that there are many strong teams, especially with the new format. but I am quite sure, their determination and desire to play as well as possible are very great. at least, they will try to qualify in the group phase.

It is very unlikely that Xabi Alonso or Leverkusen last season did not target to become champions in any league they participated in, I think it makes no sense if the goal is just to play, surely every team that enters a competition is to pursue becoming champions, every season changes every team prepares itself to become stronger, not having a goal is a ridiculous thing that I hear.

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

In the match against Hoffenheim, the squad coached by Xabi Alonso was able to return to winning ways, overall they performed well. so did Boniface, he started to score goals again. although, we know their opponent team is not a very tough team. however, returning to winning ways is part of their progress and plan in this competition. besides that Alonso knows very well that he will always correct his team, especially if their performance is not playing well.
IMO, repeating the success of winning the Bundesliga trophy seems quite difficult to achieve.

Honestly, if you look at the match when facing Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen played quite well and even took the lead first, it's just that in the 80th minute they were conceded by Leipzig and the score became 3-2, after that Leipzig made a stronger defense and maintained their advantage, but in that match Leipzig had a very good performance from Leipzig

Kompay is a very good coach, it was just unfortunate that he found himself in a team that didn't have what it takes to compete in the premier league last season. When they were still in the championship and playing with teams with same calibre he proved himself and won promotion for the first time of asking.

I have seen the reason Kompany was unable to reform Burnley because the club has gone way poor in performance for him to build to the extend the management expected, however it is funny that it was even through the poor performance of Burnley that made people to see Kompany as an inexperienced coach that has no ability in leading Bayern Munich towards achieving a trophy but just like they said time proves everything and look at how he has been doing since he joined the club, actually with this I'm very confident that after finishing his contract with Bayern Munich he will become one of the most important coach and he would be seen differently.

Imagine what they did to Holstein yesterday, they tackled the club from the beginning to end without given them any opportunity to perform and Harry Kane was even the man of match for Bayern Munich including his hard trick, he has not change a bit, he is always as good as he use to be.

When Bayern Munich appointed him as manager, I knew that Bayern Munich had struck gold.
Now it's becoming very obvious that Bayern Munich made the right call by appointing Vincent Kompay.

The season is still young and lets see how they are doing when the big games coming and how he manage all when its not well going.
Winning against Holstein Kiel with 6 scored games is good but not really a surprise against such a small and new Team in the first german league.

Yeah, the number of goals scored by Bayern Munich is fantastic but it is true that a victory against a team such Holstein Kiel is not something to celibate about.
Bayern Munich totally dominated that game that they even scored a goal since the beginning and added the second before even 10 minutes pass in that match.
Later, Kane added more goals and scored a hattrick.
Bayern Munich is leading the ranking with two points difference from the others and 3 points in front of Bayer Leverkusen. It is good but we are still in the first rounds and more serious games will come later.
