It is natural for some people to be pessimistic about Bayern Munich in winning the trophy again in the Bundesliga this season, because apart from Bayern Munich's rivals such as Leverkusen who are still handled by the same coach, several other teams could be more aggressive this season so that it could make it difficult for Bayern Munich to win the trophy again this season by relying on their new coach. A player like Kane is a good player, but I don't understand why Bayern Munich failed to win trophies when he was in the Bayern Munich squad (apart from Leverkusen's spectacular last season).

Now the real test happens for Xabi because after all, with an outstanding performance last season by winning the DFB and Bundesliga trophies as well as a finalist in the Europa League, of course the expectations for Xabi this season are even greater and this is the test for Xabi so that as much as possible he must be able to maintain the performance that they have shown before.
Other than that, When talking about the lack of experience it actually gives Kompany and Nuri Sahin more opportunities in this season's competition because after all Xabi is now always the main focus so if he alone can be given more opportunities and prove that he can then indirectly this must also be done by Bayern and Dortmund to provide opportunities and support to Kompany and Nuri Sahin this season because after all with the current situation it seems that there are still many people who don't really like Nuri Sahin and Kompany even though the season hasn't started and it's the same as those who don't give these two new coaches a chance to prove themselves.

A big team can help a rookie manager get their confidence and hit it big in a short period. Especially if the team is not under pressure to win trophies asap. I hope Bayern will give Kompany some time.
I’m confident he wil do well. He had duds  at Burnley and wanted to play expansive football with a relegation squad.

It’s going to be an interesting season in the Bundesliga with these young managers trying to win something with Nuri Sahin, Xavi Alonso and Vincent kompany.
I am not sure Bayer Leverkusen will win again this season. I think both Dortmund and Bayern Munich are preparing their guns to fire because I’ve seen their performances in the preseason games and yes, it won’t be easy like the last time.

In my opinion overall it is right that Munich won in this friendly match, there is nothing so tense for Munich to face Tottenham, especially now Tottenham has lost many of its players due to sales and they are very short of players in the defense area, and on the other hand Munich's squad is so luxurious from the back line to the front line so there is no doubt that Munich won in two meetings at once, this match can also be said to be not comparable to Tottenham but as a result Tottenham also managed to break into the opponent's goal and put up a little resistance, so in my opinion there is nothing strange in this match, everything went smoothly for Munich. And what we need to know is that Kane managed to win his first trophy with Munich after previously winning the match against Tottenham even though this is not a league trophy but this can be an important trophy for him to motivate himself in the next season to be able to achieve everything in the coming season, I think this will satisfy his thirst in this pre-season with a trophy, hopefully he can realize his dream in the league and Champions next season and I am sure he is an accomplished player so it is not impossible for him to be able to win a trophy in his career.

His age is increasing, last season he performed very well and his goal productivity continues to increase. When he moved from Tottenham many people predicted he would win trophies in his first season at Bayern Munich, but something unexpected happened, Bayern Munich lost the trophy they had won in 11 consecutive seasons after Kane joined their squad. Bayern Munich will try to break the trophy won by Leverkusen last season, but due to the change of coach in their squad, people are pessimistic about them being able to win the Bundesliga trophy this season.

Leverkusen is Munich's toughest competitor at the moment, Xabi Alonso has made the Bundesliga's face shine again, he managed to make Leverkusen win trophies in a short time after he took charge of the club. Kompany has had a tough first season, but if the Bayern Munich man can impress, he could lead Munich back to the Bundesliga title and give Kane his first trophy.

Personally, I think that Leverkusen can make the difference. For me, they are a Team that Should be feared, there is no other way, in the Bundesliga, because it is known that Bayern, Dortmund and others are the main rivals of a Leverkusen that Xabi can Already handle, so in this aspect things are not working out as many think. The UCL is going to be very good. I would like to see Leverkusen's performance, but with all the Arsenal they have , this is Reason to take the peace Away from all the UCL Teams.

The Bayern Munich vs Tottenham friendly was a great game between the two teams. Although I think the attacking numbers of both teams were almost equal in this match which is why both teams were excited from the start. However, when Tottenham scored a goal in the opening minute of the game, Bayern Munich were very nervous, but later they managed to come back. Bayern Munich played brilliantly before half-time and their attacking energy was outstanding which allowed them to score three goals. But after halftime, Tottenham played well and scored a goal, but the team could not equalize the match due to which they lost 2-3.

Indeed, they are trying to stay competitive in the top clubs of Bundesliga even though they are aware that it will not be that easy. However, their current signings are quite a lot even though they are not top players. However, Sebastian Hoeneß who has been Stuttgart's coach since 2023 is an exactly impressive coach, bringing great success to this club.



Dortmund's decision to take Guirassy is very reasonable and it is the best decision to get one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga, at the right price. Moreover, Guirassy will be supported by more top players in Dortmund, so he should be even more optimal.

The chance to win the Champions League trophy is open to all contestants, but each team chances are clearly different, depending on the attributes they have. Leverkusen attracted a lot of attention after having an impressive season in the Bundesliga and Europa League last season, I think they need more hard work to be able to go further in the Champions League. The competitive level of the Champions League is very different from other competitions, this is influenced by the presence of elite and more experienced teams such as Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso just needs to do his best, improve the mentality of his squad so that they are ready to face these big teams. We realize that it is difficult to repeat the success like last season, but it is not impossible. Xabi Alonso must be able to stabilize Leverkusen performance like last season, fortunately they were able to retain some of their key players. In terms of priorities, it seems that Xabi Alonso will try harder to retain the Bundesliga trophy, because the challenge is easier than in the Champions League.

No doubt Guirassy is a good player with lots of qualities but if he has only managed such a good performance in just one season since he has been in the game then i am afraid to say he is still an average player. Consistency is what differentiate average players from top class players and there is still no assurance that he will be able to replicate similar performance this season but he is definitely a strong addition to Dortmund squad. Joining Dortmund will increase his chances of replicating same performance because of their style of play and Dortmund are good enough to be a contender as well just that they have lower chances of lifting the trophy.

Guirassy cannot be said to be an average player. Someone with such an achievement last season has hit the timeline of football and should be regarded as a strong addition to Dortmund. However, if Dortmund likes, they should sign more players, I don't see them as the major contender for Bundesliga.
I am seeing;
Bayern leverkusen
Vs
Bayern Munich.
I don't deny the fact that Dortmund has been a major contender of the title, but for this season it is between the two Bayerns.

Honestly it will be erroneous to think xabi will win the champions League but this isn't discrediting the fact that it's very possible he does. Unlike every other leagues, champions league is highly competitive due to the kind of attention it has gotten, it has gotten a different level of players a d teams competing at that level and to make things a bit tough, it's a new format been introduced which is like what applies in the domestic league, one which can be considered stretching since it's going to be the first time of trying it out. If it were to be the old format, the chances could be higher than with this as a whole lot of experience is needed to scale through this of which Leverkusen generally lacks, they aren't frequent champions league competitors but then I'm believing they will get a good experience from this and hopefully they get a decent finish too aswell. The bundesliga isn't a small trophy either so if they are able to win that, I think they have gotten a whole lot too for the season.

Usually to maintain the quality of the game is not easy, especially since several elite teams in the Bundesliga will not allow Leverkusen to win the League trophy again. but as we discussed, however Alonso and his team have shown their performance throughout the competition last season. clearly, the potential to become League champions again is wide open for Leverkusen. it's just that, as I said at the beginning, to maintain their performance or even improve it requires great effort in return. because Bayern Munich and several other teams are competing to become the top of the standings next season until the end of the competition. this season, it is a big challenge for Alonso and Leverkusen. besides focusing on the Bundesliga, they also compete in several other Leagues. a tight schedule, has a big impact on the team's squad itself. plus, the potential for injured players will always haunt them throughout the season. talking about Leverkusen in the Champions League, I have previously posted in another thread. we have not seen how they perform when they meet their opponents in the group phase, especially if the opponent is a seeded team. the potential to win is always there, but it is clear that experience and mentality also play a role. if Alonso is able to take Leverkusen through the stages of the Champions League, it is something special for a young coach. even more fun, if we follow how Leverkusen develops after they start their match in the 2024/25 season.

Kane is about 30 years now if not 30 already. He needs to be more productive to win a trophy before his retirement because old age will soon catch up with him and won’t be able to perform very well in football like before. Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will be the two top teams to compete for the late title after Bayern Leverkusen defeat them for the title last season. The defending champions will have to battle out with the longest reign champions in order to secure a trophy this season. Bundesliga is a now a more open league after Bayern Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich for the trophy, it gives more hopes to other clubs to try to win the trophy also since he always looks like Bayern Munich can never be defeated. Kompany has a big work on his end to accomplish, so the next season has to be one of his best in order to stay at the top.

It would be strange if anyone doubted Serhou Guirassy's goal-scoring ability, considering he scored 28 goals in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, he is certainly one of the most prolific strikers. He looks crazy, but you know what's crazy. Somehow, but he proved it last season. I can't wait for him to play with a big team like Dortmund who can finish this opportunity which will double his goal tally next season.

Moreover, Serhou Guirassy came to Dortmund with a mission to win the Bundesliga trophy, plus last season Dortmund became a Champions League finalist of course this is a motivation for him to achieve success with Dortmund. Dortmund will still be considered in the Bundesliga trophy competition with Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Bundesliga is also a major trophy like the champions league, so even if Xabi Alonso is able to win the Bundesliga again, it is a very great achievement for him again for the second season. The champions league trophy will not be an easy one for Xabi Alonso to win in the next season. You need experience and consistency in this game before you can be champions. Xabi Alonso can try for the first time and he might be lucky or will have to try again and again before he can find the best fit for the club to win the trophy. I just feel he can win the Bundesliga trophy easier than winning the champions league but trying is something he must have to do before he can be sure of his place in that competition.

Personally, I don't think there's any passionate fan of Borussia Dortmund that'll frown at the club's decision to sign Serhou Guirassy this summer considering how prolific the former Stuttgart striker was last season. The Guinean scored a whooping 28 Bundesliga goals last season for his former club and if he can repeat same feat or something close in the new season, Borussia Dortmund will definitely be a serious contender for the league title. The presence of Serhou Guirassy in the Borussia Dortmund attack next season will pose a strong threat to opposing defenders which is why I'm of the opinion that Dortmund fans will rather be happy and not feel worried with his arrival.

I wonder, why do you doubt Guirassy's quality? After all, the fact is that last season Guirassy really contributed to making Stuttgart finish in second place. Also, Guirassy managed to become the top scorer last season even though he was only in second place, because the first place was placed by Kane. With achievements like that, of course there is no doubt about Guirassy's quality playing at Dortmund next season.

After all, usually Dortmund is always a team that sells great players, but at this moment Dortmund actually buys great player. Thus, it is very likely that Dortmund will become stronger next season, I am personally confident and will not doubt the quality and great contribution that Guirassy will make to Dortmund next season.

Xabi Alonso experience is still very minimal, but he has shown his quality as a great coach. He managed to transform Leverkusen in his short time into a team to watch out for in the Bundesliga. His genius in strategizing and managing Leverkusen has made Bayern Munich lose the trophies that they had won in several years in a row. He has already managed to bring Leverkusen their first Bundesliga trophy, but if faced with the Champions League, it is still uncertain whether he will be able to do so.

I am very optimistic that he can win the Bundesliga trophy again, but he will have a hard time winning the UCL trophy. Xabi Alonso will try to do his best this season including bringing Leverkusen to compete with other elite clubs in the Champions League, but he will also prioritize the Bundesliga because he wants to win the trophy again in a row.

Although Guirassy recruitment had previously been a struggle due to his current injury, but the deal was finally realized after medical tests showed that Guirassy had no serious injuries at this time, Guirassy was a quite sharp striker last season with Stuttgart after his success in scoring 30 goals in 30 matches, so we can say in last season goal scoring percentage from he very good and only lost from Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, currently we know Dortmund as a team that is capable of creating stars in their squad, but I think they just need to optimize Guirassy performance next season and It won't be as difficult as when they formed FullKrug, Haalaand and Belingham previously because currently Guirassy is at the peak of his performance as a striker.

Looking at Dortmund previous experience, of course I also believe that Guirassy probably won't last long at Dortmund, especially since they bought him at a very cheap price, so it's very likely that if a team comes with a big offer of course they won't difficult  releasing Guirassy to other team later, in the next season or two of course Guirassy price will increase drastically if he is able to maintain the performance he showed in Stuttgart last season.
