Yes you are right many people wonder if Xabi Alonso can do even better than last season amazing success at Bayer Leverkusen. Some people doubt Leverkusen chances with Alonso as coach but I think he is great coach who can bring out best in his players. If he keeps doing well he might become best coach Leverkusen has ever had. However Alonso success depends on how well he can work with players he has since he does not have team full of superstars. Future is uncertain but one thing is clear Xabi Alonso has already made a big impact as a coach and it will be exciting to see what he can achieve with Leverkusen.

Last year, Alonso identified his opponents' weaknesses very well and developed tactics accordingly. He didn't just develop a tactic. This shows us that he is versatile. I am hopeful about Xabi. I also wonder if next year he will show us how long he can keep the record. They are still undefeated in official matches in Germany. Their only defeat was against Atalanta in the grand final.

Usually it would be Bayern Munich vs Dortmund for the tight rivalry.
But for the new season, it will be Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich.

However, will Dortmund, Stuttgart and Leipzig really be able to join in the fight for the winner of the Bundesliga? Hmmm, I think the chances are not as high as Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga is not a free league event. However, here, it is quite risky for Bayern Munich to bet on. This is not a test case, but Bayern Munich is giving a chance to a coach who is considered to have no experience in a league as big as this, the main league. That's why Kompany is doubted by many parties. However, Bayern Munich is generally very optimistic that Kompany is the best for the club they have currently chosen. So, the burden is on Kompany now how they can ward off these rumors and how they can implement them together well. If not, they might not even have the chance to become the top one again.

Many people, not only you, doubt whether Xabi Alonso can develop even more crazy after they last season had a pantastis match with victory and unbeaten performance, this triggered the negative possibility of some people thinking about Bayer Leverkusen.

But if indeed Xabi Alonso can develop much crazier and better than before this will be something very great in the future because indeed Bayer Leverkusen in the hands of xabi Alonso get a development that has never been recorded before, will be the best coach ever found if the development continues, but I think it is also a little unlikely because Xabi Alonso also does not have many good players at Bayer Leverkusen, he is only good at maximizing the abilities that are there and succeeding, we do not know what the future steps will be.

Taken those risks sometimes are what makes the team to be successful and give them that prestigious reputation they’ve been holding on to for a long time now. Bayern Munich is a successful team and Kompany is not a successful coach yet base on his experience and achievements so far he started coaching. A risk with him to me is a risk worth taken because, he won’t want to fail the team and will be at his best to deliver them well which will be an achievement to his name and also the team. He won’t want to be talked about as the coach that had the best squad in the league and failed to do anything meaningful with them. I won’t underrate him because anything can happen in football.


This is not about hoping or games of uncertainty in this regards, he has to just do it because he’ll lose all the praises been showered on him after the first season. He has a big task ahead of him following a successful first season with the team. He needs to be at his best for the good of his future career and also need to be at his best for the good of the team to stand at a competitive position even after this season. This is not a matter of hoping or trying to do well next season, he must and should do well next season.

After winning titles situations are never been easy for the defending champions but as things are going for the Bayer Leverkusen look like we will have good and fair chance for them to stay at the top because they are having their best squad maintain which is big plus point with Bayern Munich is having problems and other competitors are also looking not solid as we were expecting even we are having long time for having changes but still things are clearly favourable for the Bayer Leverkusen to keep themselves at the top.

Stuttgart having many players which are now part of other clubs and things are not good Dortmund is doing good which mean they will be tried to keep them at the top so it's going to be another interesting season for the Bundesliga fans with all teams will be at the top try to have their best end for the season.

Maintaining an unbeaten record next season seems difficult, it must be admitted that this season Leverkusen has been phenomenal and of course it will be impossible to repeat it next season. The reason is that almost all clubs that have an unbeaten record in the league cannot repeat it in the following season.

Leverkusen's achievements this season are difficult for other teams to surpass, including Leverkusen itself. But even so, they will still be the main competitors in the race for the Bundesliga title next season. Leverkusen still has the same spirit, especially since they managed to break Bayern Munich's dominance by becoming the new champions of the Bundesliga in the last 11 years and Leverkusen managed to go undefeated in the league, of course this spirit will remain until next season. It will be interesting to wait for Leverkusen's continued performance next season.

Not having a trophy by the end of the season is something Bayern Munich have not suffered in a very long while and so this season ahs to be one of their worse having to suffer such fate after a very long while of winning the league title and Also getting other trophies, one of which has been the champions league but it's been several seasons they had that. They had one of the terrible seasons they have ever had in a very long while probably decades now, but it's possible they can make up for it in the coming season.

Comparing Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, you will understand that they aren't of equal strength or capacity even if it has happened that Bayern Munich had a weak season and Leverkusen had a good season, it's more like their first year and time of having such huge success a s so we can't see them as been victor's just yet, Bayern Munich to me is still a superior side going by the records, Leverkusen just had a lucky season per say because I define it as successful only when they make it a pattern such that almost every season they are able to put up something really similar.

By the new season, it's very possible to see that Bayern Munich gets to do much better as they have always been and Leverkusen trying to maintain their newly found form and strength are not going to reproduce exact same results but will be in a strength battle with Munich just like it was seen between Arsenal and city in the premier league, I also believe the competition in the coming season will get these teams to showing their true capabilities.

I was hoping for Bayern Munich to comeback stronger next season, but since they changed their manager, I started doubting if they will still make it in the coming season in the Bundesliga because it is not going to be easy for Komapny to restore Bayern Munich performance after this poor season they had, and again, apart from doing that, he will come with a new strategy that Bayern Munich players are not used to until they get used to it, so this will delay Bayern Munich performance next season, which will give Bayern Leverkusen another chance to get a high chance of repeating a high chance of repeating the history they made last season.

7.5 million for Guirassy? Thats highway robbery! The man is an automatic goal scorer. Stuttgart was carried by him and they qualified for the Champions League on his own. You wanna talk value? Thats value. Dortmund, they just got the steal of the century. That guy deserves at least three times that, if not more. He would effortlessly go for 100 million in the Premier League.

Now, Stuttgart? This is a loss they will feel. Big time. Losing Guirassy and Ito, thats a one-two punch they might not recover from. Champions League? Forget about it. They'll be lucky to stay in the top half of the table. All the same, thats the Bundesliga, guys. Always full of surprises. Dortmund deserves credit; they handled this one well. Real smart.

I also have that thought, but seeing the experience in the last season, I think we still need to have hope in him, even though I don’t think he can still keep that policy of an unbeaten game this season. I know he will try his possible best and see what he will be able to achieve because this coming season will be very challenging for him, unlike last season. Moreover, other teams will have adopted the strategy that they used last season to keep that unbeaten record, but all I think we have to consider is that Xavi Alonso has always tried his best for Beyer Leverkusen, and he will see how to face this new challenge that they will face in some months, so all hope and expectations are on Alonso. 

New season is expected to start on August 23. It is still two months away from us of course and we are all focused on Euro 2024 now. Bundesliga teams must be also watching the tournament closely to plan their transfers.

Congrats to Dortmund on finalizing the Guirassy deal officially.    I'm happy for him as well because of signing for a bigger team after having a great season. I don't even know why there weren't any other team making an offer to sign him.    Maybe just Dortmund was too quick.

Do you think Xabi Alonso can maintain this level next season? Honestly it seems really difficult to me. Because it was an insane season with a 50+ games unbeaten streak as far as I can remember.

I am also surprised with this move but as things happen with Borussia Dortmund in last season now they are doing their best for having improved performance and better results because now we have tough challenging time ahead of them which is going to be no easy and having any weakness in squad can hurt them badly for staying into top ranks.

Hopefully now we will have more moves for them as they are doing most chances we will be having few youngsters into their team which will increase their strength and also having chance for them to take profit which is their usual business for years but as we have this big move many are feeling they are going to be had new policy which is also good because going for the win of trophies is also ideal situation for them.

Guirassy's performance last season deserves to be appreciated, he was able to score 28 goals in the Bundesliga. even though, he had suffered an injury. the hard work he did with Stuttgart put his name in the spotlight, several Premier League clubs were linked with Serhou Guirassy. I thought Guirassy would go to England, especially since the transfer price was quite affordable. however, it seems like the option to bring in Guirassy may just be a rumor that has been linked to Chelsea and Arsenal. in the end, Borrusia Dortmund were interested in bringing him to Signal Iduna Park. because the two English league teams have never continued their interest in the striker owned by Stuttgart. in the end, Dortmund glanced at Guirassy with his release clause and just waited to sign the document which would come soon.


Well, now Dortmund has a striker who can be more reliable than the one in the current squad. Yes, referring to Guirassy's performance last season, he was quite productive in executing the ball. I wonder, what about Sebastien Haller and Niclas Flllkrug. whether these two players will leave, I have not found further information about these two strikers. As for Marco Reus, he is no longer young, so it is just a technical problem to find a replacement. after all, Dortmund is a club that always prepares young talents. the departure of Marco Reus will not have a big impact. well, maybe Dortmund will focus on their defense. because, it seems there are rumors reporting that other Stuttgart players will be brought to Signal Iduna Park. so, let's wait and see what Dortmund will do after bringing in Guirassy.

Alonso, who stays at Leverkusen, of course, still has a big ambition to bring Leverkusen back to be able to repeat his previous glory, and of course it will not be easy to do when currently the rival team team is starting to actively move in recruiting new players, reportedly some Leverkusen players are starting to be targeted by other big teams, so it will most likely be very difficult for Leverkusen to refuse every offer that comes later,  Jonathan Tah, Frimpong, Florian Wirtz are the targets of many clubs at the moment, so I'm pretty sure that if Leverkusen releases 1 or 2 of those players, of course it will make their team unstable next season.

Currently Leverkusen have brought in Alex Garcia from Girona which of course will make their midfield quite capable, while bringing in a defender who is still 19 years old can of course also be a long-term project for Leverkusen, but for next season of course he is not ready to compete in Leverkusen main line-up, Alonso looks like he will have a very tough job next season and I hope he can deal with it.

Vincent Kompany is a risk for Bayern Munich. I think this risk should not have been taken. They could have continued on their way with a more experienced and qualified coach. Offers were made to a few coaches and were not accepted. That's why they had to appoint Kompany as the head of the team. I hope Kompany will be successful because the squad he has is the best squad in the Bundesliga on paper. With the right technique and tactics, I'm sure Bayern can come to good places, just like old times.

I saw something new that Borussia Dortmund did by bringing in Guirassi for next season. the reason is that they usually create players and are not clubs that bring in players who they say are already "ready". This gives me the impression that they might start to get serious about aiming for the title. That could happen after they see Leverkusen's success this season, and I hope it really happens so that they can seriously target achievements that will make the competition even tighter.

As one of the clubs that can see the potential of young players, I think they can get another good player next season. The reason is that the players they have brought in are currently 28 years old, which means they are mature players or are at a mature age as professional players. I want to see which names will appear in their squad as the players are still young and have very good potential for next season. It is interesting to talk about Borussia Dortmund with their ability to recruit talented young players.

I think Xabi Alonso must experience defeat against Atalanta in order to improve what he needs to improve in his current main squad, after all we have not seen whether Leverkusen will keep all their players there, there could be new players who Xabi might recruit. Alonso is of course to be able to strengthen their main squad in the new season, I also can't say more, let alone predict that next season Munich will play better with their new head coach, of course there will be adaptations which may also require time to play better.

Leverkusen will also remain careful after experiencing their first defeat last season. Obviously this can make all the teams in the Bundesliga learn from Atalanta how to deal with Xabi Alonso's style of play, but it is clearly not easy to make a team like Atalanta and I also don't want to say that Atalanta is enough. lucky to win the UEL, but they were quite good at dealing with attacks from Leverkusen, that was good enough to see, I'm sure Leverkusen will remain a difficult team next season not only in the Bundesliga but also in other competitions such as in the UCL next season. I think every team always has tougher challenges every season, which is why Leverkusen has certainly prepared them because their game will of course be at an even higher level next season. 

Leverkusen will try to maintain what they achieved last season, but maintaining an unbeaten record is something that will be difficult to achieve again. Leverkusen strength will increase much more after the change of season, they will take advantage of the transfer market to improve their quality. The presence of Xabi Alonso will also make Leverkusen more confident in facing competition, they will also not experience any problems in their team.

Rivals such as Bayern Munich and Dortmund are in the process of adapting to new coaches, a change of coach will leave several gaps that will make it difficult for the team to maintain its best performance. Xabi Alonso will try to make Leverkusen continue to collect trophies, his decision to continue staying with Leverkusen proves that he still really wants to develop Leverkusen into a big team that will continue to grow in the future.

Unbelievable, Dortmund success signing VfB Stuttgart top scorer in this season with most cheapest values around 17.5 million euro, how possibilities with his consistent performance by scoring 28 goals of 28 appearances with Stuttgart in this season at Bundesliga competition. I don't believing yet if players become top scorer in Premier League will reach significant his transfer values above 100 million euro and Dortmund become most luckiness teams can sign the second place of Bundesliga top scorer in this season.

Serhou Guirassy is most important players for Stuttgart in this season success reach the second place position standings and qualified to Champion League next season, but its bad impact for Stuttgart for their participants in Champion League next season and possibility defend to finish on Champion league spot standings in domestic league after losing not only with Serhou Guirassy but also recently Stuttgart sell their centre-back Hiroki Ito.
