Bayern Munich management is not well aware Vincent Kompany is not experienced enough. At the same time, the Burnley team did not perform well in the previous season, with Kompany helping out. However, since the Munich management handed over Kompany, they obviously have different plans. Otherwise, Bayern Munich would have appointed another coach. Also, we haven't seen Munich's performance yet. So I hope that with the help of KOmpany, Bayern Munich's performance will be stable in the coming season.



Leverkusen showed great dominance in the Bundesliga last season. The Leverkusen team was ahead of Bayern Munich by a big margin of 18 points. Leverkusen were also unbeaten in the entire season. The team performed brilliantly with the help of Xabi Alonso. But next season, it will be difficult to dominate the Champions League and the Bundesliga simultaneously. 2 seasons ago we saw Napoli become champions in Serie A. But last season we saw very poor performances from Napoli. I wouldn't be surprised if Leverkusen have the same situation next season.

Apart from business matters, it does not mean that Dortmund does not want to retain its mainstay players, in fact quite a few players have been sold to their own rivals, but because their players do not want to stay, what else can we do? If forced, they will not play wholeheartedly, rather than being retained, it is better to just sell them, in Dortmund to hone their skills and make their name big, their names are already big, then they leave. There are many examples such as Lewandowski, Pulisic, Dembele, Sancho, Haaland, Jude and others. Only Marco Reus is the most loyal player in Dortmund and has never left Dortmund.

From here it is clear that Dortmund is a business club and prioritizes business and profit above all else. Unlike other clubs that can balance business and the quality of their team. Dortmund seems to prefer to focus on its business only and is not so ambitious to chase trophies.

In addition to the gap that occurred between Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the past. On the other hand, Bayern Munich is too OP in the German league and it is difficult to compete with them, just like PSG in the French league. This over-dominance, which makes clubs like Dortmund think realistically and prefer to stay in their comfort zone rather than having to compete tooth and nail against Bayern Munich. However, the Bundesliga this year was shaken after Leverkusen performed impressively last season, with Leverkusen's presence making Bayern Munich's dominance a little shaky, even in my opinion this season Leverkusen has a great chance to defend the Bundesliga title.

Dortmund is still in a transition stage after changing coaches some time ago and so far in several friendly matches played by Dortmund we have not seen any significant improvement, even in the 3 friendly matches they have played dortmund has only been able to achieve one win over the opposing team, against Villareal which incidentally is one of the big teams in La Liga, Nuri Sahin should prepare their game strategy better ahead of the match if they don't want to continue to be criticized by Dortmund fans at this time, facing Villareal is not an easy match for Dortmund even though the match is only friendly match because after all Villareal will of course also be aiming for victory in this match, to be honest, after seeing several friendly matches played by Dortmund currently, it seems to make me doubt that Nuri Sahin will be able to bring Dortmund better next season compared to Edin Terzic achievements last season.

What makes me wonder is that sometimes Dortmund releases its players to its main competitors like Bayern Munich even though Dortmund can sell them to other leagues rather than to Bayern Munich where Bayern Munich always weakens Dortmund's strength by buying its important players but because Dortmund only thinks about profit, they don't care even though they make quite fatal mistakes if they continue like that Dortmund will continue to be defeated by Bayern Munich in Bundesliga.

Actually, it's not wrong if Dortmund does this, after all, this is not his own will and the player is also willing to go to a bigger club like Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid and Erling Haaland to Man City. These players are also very happy to be in these big clubs and become valuable assets.

Moreover, even though Dortmund has good players in it, it does not guarantee that they will become champions because as far as I know, their priority is only to try to highlight the abilities of their players so that they will be noticed by top clubs so that their business can continue to run smoothly.

What they are doing is not longer a mistake, it is a deliberate attitude and I think it's the way they plan to be carrying out their operations. Assuming it was a mistake, they would have realized the mistake after selling off a few players and see how great they become especially the goal machine Haaland. After Haaland they have built and sold players that are extremely doing well too. Assuming they are interested to build a squad ready to win trophy, they would have been convincing these players to stay with them and achieve positive results together. The fact still remains that they prefer and  Prioritize business over building the team for competition.

Seeing their match a few days ago Kompany has a good goal with Munich in terms of their game they put it quite solid and of course I think Kompany will maximize the opportunity given to him by Munich management as best as possible, in terms of players they have many names so they have a full opportunity to maximize next season.

It is undeniable that if they optimize as best as possible with their talented players of course to maximize the champion next season is certainly very wide open, but it all depends on how they maximize what is already there in my opinion Kompany can bring Munich to continue to advance with what he implements I think he has talent with what he does.

I know the Bundesliga tittle race will not be easy this season. But there’s no current proof that Bayern Munich is stronger than Bayer Leverkusen that they beat last season. No, Bayern Munich aren’t playing like they used to. Bayer Leverkusen is the face of Bundesliga.

Remember what everyone said that,  Arsenal’s first title race in the EPL was a fluke and that they won’t finish higher than 4th or even out of the top 4 last season.

The disrespect towards a team that won the league unbeaten is what I won’t have.

"It won’t be easy" is a conversation that makes sense because it makes sense. They are weaker than Bayern Munich because they are far behind Bayern Munich is not a tenable conversation for me.

Xavi Simons re-joins RB Leipzig on season-long loan:

Xavi Simons has officially re-joined RB Leipzig for the 2024-25 season, signing a new season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday.

The player completed his medical and trained alone on Monday, but will train with his teammates on Tuesday, when the squad convenes after completing their first-ever preseason tour of the U.S. last week. It was at the start of that tour when head coach Marco Rose said that Simons decided to return to the German club for another season, though he recognized at the time that the deal had yet to be formalized.

Simons, a promising midfielder who many hope will become a fixture at PSG sooner rather than later, initially joined Leipzig ahead of the 2023-24 season on a loan deal and impressed during his first spell at the club. He scored 10 goals and notched 13 assists in 43 games, playing a crucial role on a team that finished fourth in the Bundesliga and made it to the round of 16 in last season's UEFA Champions League, being eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid. Simons' performances were strong enough for him to earn a spot on the Netherlands' roster for the Euros, scoring once and registering three assists in six starts for the semifinalists.

The 21-year-old is set to be welcomed back with open arms in Leipzig after carving out a big role for himself last season.

Today Dortmund will return to the pre-season match and will face one of team from La Liga, it is clear that Dortmund is still the favorite in this match.
Villarreal last season experienced significant decline in performance and failed to get single ticket for other European competitions, in the previous season they were still able to get Europa League ticket but they had to fast for other European competitions next season.
Nuri Sahin as Dortmund new coach hopes to still be able to see his players play well and really take advantage of every pre-season match with different game tactics adaptations from before and be able to play well in the Bundesliga next season.
I still hope they can play according to expectations and can really prove that they are still worthy as team that is favored.

No doubt with Bayern Munich have many top qualities players but lack experienced of their manager Vincent Kompany could be big problem later how to make his team has the winning mentality exactly on crucial matches.
Actually Bayern Leverkusen as the defend winner have top qualities player too after defending all their key players and sign some top qualities players not big difference for both teams squad between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

In my opinion, Bayern Leverkusen still the most favorite team for winning Bundesliga trophy after success defending their important players last season and signing any top qualities players to make balance with team composition between regular and not regular players. Currently Bayern Munich performance not get consistent yet on several pre season matches, they have few weeks left before first match on DFB Pokal first round and facing Wolfsburg on the first Bundesliga match on August 25.

I don't think so. I still consider Bayern Munich as the favorite for the Bundesliga title. I know Vincent Kompany is not an experienced coach. But he is talented. Bayern Munich management is not stupid. Despite Vincent Kompany's lack of experience, Bayern Munich have given him the reins of the team. Munich, of course, has other plans.

Bayern Munich still has the strongest squad in the Bundesliga. And if the company can improve the understanding between the players, then Bayern Munich has a better chance of dominating the Bundesliga. Leverkusen, on the other hand, performed very well last season, no doubt with the help of Xabi Alonso. But Xabi should have taken the necessary measures to strengthen the team this season. Garcia and Terrier have been added to the squad by Xabi. However, this team is far behind Bayern Munich. I think Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga next season even if they don't do well in the Champions League.

I don't see Bayern muchen winning the league title this season under Kompany. I will still give it to Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen clearly have the more balanced team of those 3. (Bayern Munich, B.Dortmund, B. Leverkusen).
Bayern Munich have best individuals and superstars but not necessarily a balanced team. B. Dortmund are not even close to Leverkusen in terms of squad balance and depth.

Leverkusen won the most games from the bench last season. As it stands Leverkusen also have the best manager of the 3.

On this particular friendliest, I won’t rate it to be one we can agree on or bring something good out of it of. Bayern Munich okay with them every preseason games and always win them with large number of goals and this time around is also not an exception. Kompany will lead Bayern Munich to the big game victory next season, he should utilize all the time he has now to make the best out of the club. By doing so, he can now tell who his first eleven to use for the next season are.

Although it doesn’t matter the club to test the strength of the team with, it just have to be tested in any manner to know. Friendlies are not a way to test the strength of a club or the weakness of it. The mentality in preseason is such that the players don’t want to put all their efforts into the match and be trying to avoid injury against the next season, so that the coach can start with them more often.

Yeah, I agree. With a team like Bayern it's quite realistic to win within his league, but he'll still have to try, as having a team like that alone doesn't really do anything, so the only hope really is that Kompany realises what kind of team he's come to. After serving in this position successfully for a few years he will be able to manage teams as good as this one.

Borrusia Dortmund have messed up big time and they've literally settled for lesser outcomes when it involves major tournaments. Die Schwarzgelben have this special thing called luck when if comes to developing young players. They've incredible players at their ends and making huge profits from these players without hindrance. But they've failed in the actual picture to make these players become top professional and rendering their service and efforts for the club. Instead the are sold to other prominent elite club and becomes huge challenges for Borrusia Dortmund when they meet.

I think Dortmund is making a mistake by letting go of young players. Jude Bellingham and Haaland are the two most obvious examples of this. If these two players had stayed this year, Borussia Dortmund would probably be one of the strongest candidates for the title. However, since they run the team like a company, I think the title is something the management does not care about. It seems like the Borussia Dortmund management is trying to buy players and sell them for more money.

The score of the Rottach match is not important because they had won more goals against them in previous years. Rottach is a very weak team and for Bayern it does not matter how many goals they score against them. Big matches can be considered a measure for Bayern. That is why we can say that Kompany did not play a serious match. His main squad in official matches will give us a better image.

Yes, it is very much possible that the competition is not going to happen between the two teams. And I hope that the competition does not happen only between two teams. I hope that the other teams will also be able to show good performance as well. But if we talk about which teams will be able to compete for the Bundesliga title, I think at the end of the day we have to say that only two teams might be able to do that and those are Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

Of course, I want that to change. But will it change? I personally don’t think so. I always want to see a team compete for that title very closely is Dortmund. But that also generally does not happen. Leipzig has been showing good signs. I hope there is going to be a good competition between at least four teams for the title.

Simmons definitely will go to a better team eventually, we are seeing him improve a lot over the years, he was considered a very good young talent for a good time, and he is showing his improved version now as well. He played a very good period with Netherlands as well during the euro 2024 and I am guessing that he will keep on playing very well this season too. After this season ends, he needs to sit down and think about what's next for him, because he is getting good enough to be at a huge club, Bayern is one, I am not going to say City or Madrid because they have good midfields, but he is almost that level too.

Pep may want to take a chance with him too, because he has a lot of old midfielders, so getting Simmons could help, but not an easy choice. All in all Bayern seems to be the best case scenario for him, he could go there and play there for a long time, and we know how Bayern ended up getting a lot better players in the latest years as well.

Utilizing the opportunity to gain sympathy and confidence is of course very good but it should also not be used as a reference and rule out some players who should be given playing time especially for them young players.
So that there is a balance where when he takes the confidence of the fans to see him as a worthy coach, this is also intended so that he can make young players comfortable because they get flying hours in a club because they are given the opportunity.

With the few games Kompany has played in the pre-season he's done that and that's a very good thing I think. There are some players who are given trust and get a good potential in the squad when the friendly matches can build their mentality to be even better so that pre-season although in terms of results we cannot expect much but it was quite successfully done by Kompany.
