I also think that Leverkusen will not have enough difficulty to face Bayern Munich with a newer team line-up because the coach of Bayern Munich himself is a new coach and Leverkusen is still handled by their old coach like last season. But apart from all that, I just want to see both teams compete more fiercely to show who is the best for this season because their match must be awaited by many people from now on. And Bayern Munich might not be able to take revenge in an easy way because Leverkusen’s strength itself is still unchanged for this season.
Bayer Leverkusen don't have any star players, but because of their great success last season, then the players in the Bayer Leverkusen squad are certainly stars. They improved their quality with excellent hard work, so the results were also not disappointing for them last season. Although the new season will start at least a week ahead, but I believe Bayer Leverkusen will still be a strong team that will be in the race for the Bundesliga trophy next season.
Indeed, Bayern Munich have at least better players because Bayern Munich have great players and star players that they brought in. But anyway, the appointment of their new coach is also still at least a question mark and perhaps a gamble. Thus, I personally still cannot predict whether Bayern Munich will manage to have a good dominance or not in the next season with their new coach.
Leverkusen is clearly one of the strong candidates in the trophy race, Bayern Munich must try extra hard if they want to take the trophy from the defending champions and dominate the Bundesliga again. We realize that this effort will not be easy, where Leverkusen did not make many changes in their squad, Xabi Alonso even managed to add depth to the squad and retain a number of his mainstay players. This is a tough challenge for Kompany in his first season, if he fails, his fate could end with dismissal. Bayern Munich management has poured a large budget in the summer transfer window, clearly they expect success at the end of the season.
In fact, we have never seen Leverkusen start a new season with a mission to defend the trophy, that is a new history in their journey in the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso must be aware of the improvements that will occur with Kompany squad, as well as other possibilities, such as the rise of Dortmund. Meanwhile, it is possible that the Bundesliga trophy will be won by other dark horse teams such as Stuttgart or Leipzig. It must be admitted that Kompany does have the most ideal squad in the Bundesliga, but that is not a guarantee of achieving success.
