Of course, a sharper assessment will occur when Bayer Munich will meet Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund. Kompany must be fully prepared for the situation that occurs, but if he is able to win the match, it is very possible that the assessment will be reversed and people will slowly stop making fun of him. If we trace it back to the previous season, who would dare to say that Alonso would be successful with Leverkusen? Of course not. But that's what happens in a competition, many things will happen beyond reason.
Yes, the real challenge is to beat Bayer Leverkusen and reclaim the Bundesliga trophy that was stolen last season, this is real proof that Kompany must show this season to eliminate all doubts that are currently pinned on him, if you look at yesterday's match that Bayern Munich played when they beat Wolfsburg I see Munich ready to fight for the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen and Dortmund, as long as in every match that they will play "Munich" can be consistent.
I think Xabi Alonso's situation when he was appointed as head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, it seems that it cannot be compared with Kompany and Bayer Munich. Because basically Bayern Munich is clearly a top Bundesliga team, and that became a doubt when Bayern Munich appointed Kompany who did not have great experience with a big team before during his coaching career. But about Xabi Alonso, basically before Xabi Alonso became head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, but in reality Bayer Leverkusen was also not a team that had the ability to be in the trophy fight every season.
Thus, there is no doubt whatsoever and no great hope whatsoever for Xabi Alonso when he was appointed as head coach of Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, that certainly becomes a different situation and condition for them, but about Bayern Munich basically for the next match against Freiburg I also think it is not an easy match.
In terms of career path, Kompany is luckier than Xabi Alonso, because he is trusted to manage a club of Bayern Munchen caliber even though he still has minimal experience. For Kompany, his current job is a stepping stone in his managerial career, and on the other hand, it is a dream for other new managers, although we know the pressure is quite high. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso, when he was appointed as Leverkusen manager in the middle of the season, there were no excessive expectations set, but on his journey he was destined to become a phenomenal manager. The competition between the two managers will be the main highlight this season, their success with their respective teams will produce another historic record.
Xabi Alonso is certainly ambitious to repeat the success they achieved last season, although it is difficult to repeat it in the same way, namely by being undefeated. Likewise with Kompany, his ambition is certainly greater, leading Bayern Munchen to dominate the Bundesliga again which is also proof of his tactical quality. However, the competition for the trophy will certainly be more complex, with Dortmund, Leipzig and Stuttgart also wanting to be champions. I think this is the kind of competition that many people are hoping for, which makes the Bundesliga more competitive and interesting to follow.
