The friendly match can be considered for the fitness only. But i think it's not that bad to use the key players in this game to measure how good their gameplay is. We knew that Kompany always struggled against Tottenham when at Burnley. It's now time to test his Bayern squad's depth against them.
However, Bayern may use mostly their youth players against Tottenham. But, I'm sure a few key players will start. It's also confirmed that if Kane is not going to play against Tottenham soon.

I believe Tottenham will use the same formation as the game against K-league. Most probably this formation, but a minor change may happen too.



However, I have no info on Bayern Munich's lineup. But Kane won't play, and that's it. 

What is the point of such a match, where everyone will try to play carefully, so that nothing bad happens to the players, for this there are training sessions where you can play at half strength. But on the other hand, Manchester United has already injured 4 players in friendly games, and this could become a very big problem for ten Hag before the start of the new season. The Кompany needs to assess the players' form, and which of them is better prepared for the new season, for this we need friendly matches, where the players will have to engage in physical confrontations, there is no way around it.

After many cases in pre-season matches, of course coaches are reluctant to put their key players in matches like this because somehow their opponents sometimes do not take it easy but instead become serious to get the win. In fact, if all players are more open-minded and do not need to make hard fouls, then this can be avoided and here maybe the concerns of both parties are also difficult to understand.

It is better to rely on young players and only include a few of their main players to avoid a more intense match. I think both Spurs and Bayern Munich certainly know the risks involved and we can only hope that everything goes well until the referee's long whistle and everything goes without any problems. Harry Kane might want to play against his former team but he must put that aside first considering he has a realistic target to win his first title with Bayern Munich.

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.

Especially after a summer with big tournaments like Euro 2024 and Coppa America 2024, star players are more exhausted than other years without big tournaments. Star players are smart and experienced enough to adapt well with a new coach and I see philosophy of Kompany is not too strange. Bayern Munich players are familiar with tiki taka because Pep used to be their coach for some seasons ago.

Harry Kane is important for Bayern Munich to find goals and the player himself is fighting for a first team title in his career. A next season will be a big test for Kompany and Kane, to win titles together and upgrade their career together.

In football, when you play a match, you want to win it but there are reasons to think that Bayern Munich and Kompany won't want to win this match with all costs. They will use it as one of last preparations before a new season, winning is best but if they can not win it or lose it, it's not nightmare with them. The point is what they will get from this match, from tactical trial and operations, player assessment and end this match without bad news of player injuries.

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.

Tottenham will definitely want to attack against Bayern Munich and win the match. But I think it would be great if Harry Kane was brought on during the match because he is a former Tottenham player. But in the game I don't think any player will be sentimental for the former team but he will definitely play strong for his team. Although it will be a little difficult for him as he has spent many years captaining the Tottenham side, he will be fighting his former club for Bayern Munich. Anyway, for the new season Bayern Munich will try to start in a great way to become champions and this season Bayern Munich will improve their game. Yes, Bayern Munich can definitely be expected to win this match against Tottenham, even though the game will be a tight battle between the two teams.

It is a friendly game, but the expectation in Seoul World Cup Stadium, the venue of the game, will be tense. Both teams have good players and it will be a real test of how prepared both teams are for the season. Ange Postecoglou's side has been impressive in this pre-season, having won games against K-League All Stars XI,  Hearts, QPR, and Vissel Kobe. Bayern Munich's coach, Vincent Kompany, has already confirmed that Harry Kane will not be playing the game, so we will not see a reunion of the Tottenham legend.

The German side has not been too impressive in this pre-season, but they have won one game and had one draw. I wouldn't judge Kompany with pre-seasons games because he is using these games to test tactics and players. Son Heung-min will be a point man in this game after scoring a classic brace in Tothenham's last game. Pre-seasons are not the real games, which is why every coach will be very careful in featuring players to avoid injuries.

In my opinion, it is not only Leverkusen who will be a problem for Bayern Munich this season, other teams like Leipzig, Stuttgart and Dortmund will be ready to make Bayern Munich have a hard time. After going through their worst season in the last 11 years, Bayern Munich has been very active in bringing in new players and also bringing in a new coach, but football fans doubt Kompany's ability which has failed to save Burnley from the brink of relegation.

Tactical differences will occur in the Bayern Munich squad, the players will also have to adapt to changes in strategy. Kompany who has no experience in handling a big club, will be under a lot of pressure if Bayern Munich performance does not improve. Xabi Alonso who recently won the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen, is eager to retain the title for a second consecutive time, a desire that can be seen when he rejected Bayern Munich offer to replace Thomas Tuchel.

Tottenham will probably be more prepared for this match. I still think Kompany will put Kane on the field at some point during the match. Kane will be emotional when he plays against his former team. He spent years as Tottenham captain and now they will be on the field as opponents. Bayern should start the season well to win the championship. The draw they got against Düren shocked us all. I hope they finish this match without losing.

Last season was a very impressive season for Alonso and Liverpool in the Bundesliga, but the number of Bundesliga matches, which was only 34 matches, was unable to break Arsenal's unbeaten record in the league of 38 matches (apart from matches outside the league), currently Arsenal record for winning the English league going undefeated in one season is still very well maintained and it will be difficult for other teams to match it, what Xabi Alonso did last season is an inspiration for many big teams today who are starting to also entrust their teams for young coaches and hope they will be able to get the same results like what Leverkusen got last season, like Leverkusen, Bayern Munich are currently also entrusting Kompany as their coach for next season, we know, Kompany is a coach who doesn't have much experience in terms of coaching, but I think it's appropriate for us not to doubt his performance at this time with Munich, because we will of course see whether the kompany is successful or not at the end of the season.

This match will be very interesting, both popular clubs will face each other to show how their young players perform.
Everyone will be looking forward to this match and hope that Harry Kane will also appear against Tottenham but I don't think Vincent Kompany will take a reckless way out that could injure a main player.
So most likely Bayern Munich will only appear with young players as before and I just want to guess if Bayern Munich has to accept defeat because Tottenham will win the match.
I don't mean to say Bayern Munich is weak but believe me this is just a pre-season match that always gives surprises.

The Brazilian player made eight assists with Girona last year. I think that's a very good number for a right-back. I can say that he had his best season with Girona. His La Liga experience is also an important factor for Borussia Dortmund to transfer him. Since he comes from a difficult league, he will be ready to compete in the Bundesliga and fight for form. I think Borussia Dortmund will get the most out of him, they made a good transfer

Although Dortmund sometimes sells its valuable players, Dortmund can still recruit good players from other leagues so that their performance remains stable, they don't want to be left behind by their tough rivals Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, it is noted that Dortmund has continued to recruit several players lately, they have secured 4 players and the statistics are quite good, there is no doubt that Dortmund management does have the ability to choose talented players to be used as assets and investments.

Actually, Yan Couto is a Manchester City player, he was loaned to Girona for 2 seasons and he managed to attract Dortmund's attention until finally Dortmund dared to recruit this player, it is very unfortunate that since he was recruited by Manchester City in the 2020 season he has not felt playing with the elite club even though he actually has good performance as a defender, he often provides important passes, Girona is lucky to feel the contribution of his services so far.

Xabi Alonso gives the maximum benefit that can be given to a team. Bayer Leverkusen became a good team with him. His players are currently taking the world by storm. Xabi created the players that every team wants to see in their team. That was the most difficult thing. Xabi achieved it and Bayern Munich wants to reach a better level with the new coach. I am afraid that if they do not achieve this, there will be no trace of Bayern's old dominance.

This match will also be interesting because Kane will play against his former team, perhaps this means little and Kompany will not give Kane much time to play, but the choice of opponent for Bayern looks ambiguous. I think that if they wanted, Bayern could find more famous opponents for friendly matches, but perhaps there is no sense in this at the stage of preparation for the new season. And yet the intrigue remains, can Kane score against Tottenham?)

Of course this match will be very interesting to wait for, especially since both teams have big names, in my opinion this match will also be tough for Kompany's team and also not easy for Tottenham, both teams have started their pre-season several times and Tottenham has scored goals very often and they also concede goals very easily of course Munich will play some of their senior forwards to make it easier for them to score goals and of course this match is very testing for Kompany how tough Munich is under him.

Seeing this match also has good opportunities and I see this as a great opportunity to cover because I am sure this match will produce goals, it is not difficult because both teams play attacking and open so covering this match is something that is possible.

In the next two days Bayern Munich will undergo pre-season match against Tottenham, this will be very interesting match because Tottenham is also not weak team and can provide good game against Bayern Munich.
Indeed, it is likely that some of the core players from each team will not play or will only play for few minutes, but it will still present match full of surprises.
We can start to assess how Bayern Munich is performing slowly under the leadership of Vincent Kompany, if in various pre-season matches they perform well then it is likely that Vincent Kompany can bring Bayern Munich to perform optimally in the Bundesliga.

Seeing the odds that exist, it is clear that both are quite large, this is difficult thing because we are given choice that is really much more complicated but I sure Bayern Munich will still be favored.

Honestly, although I am also very impressed with Xabi and Leverkusen's achievements in the 2023/2024 season with their extraordinary record, but when it comes to winning the UCL, it won't be that easy. This is a very big challenge for Leverkusen when competing in the UCL, this is very different from the Bundesliga and UEFA Europa League. Maybe they will continue to try their best and the results will be that they will qualify from the group stage. Or maybe they can surprisingly appear again brilliantly to be able to advance to the next round and so on. However, if they immediately win the UCL, I'm not sure about that either. There are other big clubs that are more prepared in all aspects. Because the UCL is not only about squad strength, but also the mentality and strategy applied to compete with other big clubs that are much more competitive.

And Bayern Munich will be much more serious now to be more consistent in the Bundesliga. because they are very aware that the competition in the Bundesliga has changed, it is not like before with them easily winning the league well and dominating. So, it becomes a high PR for Kompany to bring Bayern Munich back to the top standing and lift the Bundesliga trophy.

however, will it work? I think it will depend on how successful Kompany is in managing the club and the squad. because coincidentally Kompany is also new as their coach. that's why this is once again a tough challenge for Kompany to realize Bayern Munich's target to return as the winner of the Bundesliga.

There is only one thing we should say about Xabi Alonso, of course he is a genius coach because he succeeded in the way he built the team's strength. Last season's success certainly brought Xabi confidence to continue this season. The players also experienced an increase in their quality thanks to the coach's expertise in managing strategy.
This season there are no targets that are ambitious enough, for example the fans are demanding to become champions again. But with support from players who are ready to perform optimally, the target of becoming champion can be achieved.
The closest rivals, be it Stuttgart or Bayern, of course they will try to stop Leverkusen's positive progress this season.
