Indeed, the fact is like this, pre-season matches are not a priority. This is just a friendly match and summer tour. So there is no need for squads to play optimally, in fact they will worry if something unwanted happens such as an injury. As happened to Hiroki Ito Bayern Munich, who was injured during the pre-season yesterday. And this is what all players do, to be alert and careful in this friendly match / pre-season match to avoid all injuries. Real matches in their league will determine which players deserve to compete in the main lineup and no injuries can prevent them from competing optimally.

Next week on August 7, Leverkusen will play a friendly match against top EPL club, Arsenal. Although this is just a friendly match, it is a great opportunity to get to know the potential competitors in the UCL later with their respective squads.

Friendly matches are not significant games, thus players will not put forth much effort and will not take it seriously. Leverkusen is still doing well, and he demonstrates that they can do their best next season to win the Bundesliga again. The upcoming season will determine if Bayern Leverkusen can compete with Munich and Dortmund in the league. Bayern Leverkusen is well-known in Europe and frequently participates in the Champions League. While I have not watched Essen's matches, I believe they are also capable of scoring goals in Bayern Leverkusen net if they are not good they won't scored.

If the season begins, we will know whether Leverkusen will be successful or if they will have the potential to win the title with Xavi Alonso again. I'm only waiting for Leverkusen to play with a large club and see if Xavi Alonso can lead the team and challenge the big clubs in the UCL. Munich is ready for next season, and I'm confident they'll aim to win the trophy because they have a new coach and good players. Harry Kane will do whatever to get the opportunity to win at least one title before retiring.

The competition for the Bundesliga trophy next season is believed to be more competitive than last season, and Leverkusen will most likely not be able to repeat their unbeaten run. Bayern Munchen, who have lost their dominance, will try their best to become the leader of the standings again, and for the first time in Bundesliga history, Leverkusen will try to defend the trophy. We can imagine how fierce the competition for the trophy next season will be, especially if Dortmund, Stuttgart and Leipzig are involved and enliven the competition throughout the season.

Overall, the more teams involved in the competition at the top of the standings, the more interesting the Bundesliga will be to follow, in other words, the Bundesliga will no longer be boring as we knew it before Leverkusen became champions. I hope that next season will not only just about Leverkusen and Bayern Munchen, other Bundesliga contestants should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to be like Leverkusen too. Regardless of all that, besides the expected progress in the next season, does not rule out the possibility that the teams we mentioned above might regress.

Much focus will be on Bayern who have been the favorite of the league until last season that Leverkusen outsmart them and won Bundesliga. This was why a new coach was brought in to manage the club and see how he can keep to the consistency of the team so that Bayern can start winning the league again.

Leverkusen is now a threat to Bayern because they  remain strong in their performance last season and I believe that they will keep to their consistency next season, because Alonso would have introduced some additional strategies in their game pattern.

Okay, your analysis could be right but we can’t still be sure of it until the season begins. Both of the teams will be potentials for the league title and we could see a tough fight between them until the end of the season. Bayern Munich won’t allow themselves to be without trophy for the second term consecutively in a season, so they need to put all required efforts into this game in order to come out with good results. Bayern Leverkusen that have also found the weakness of Bayern Munich will not allow another opportunity to pass them by to win the trophy again, they will be damn serious to be at the top for the second time so that the first one doesn’t looks like luck to people.

Winning 2-1 against Essen is not very important, this is a friendly match. Still, it is pleasing for them to win. They will also play another friendly match against Lens on August 3. This match will be more important than the other one. Lens is one of the most resilient teams in France and a strong team defensively. It will be a good friendly match for Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga will be very tough this season as you said it that’s how it will take on, because the way everything teams are try to sign up the players so that the teams will be standard with better squads, and for the Bayern since they where able to make last season and now that the kompany is trying his possible best to make sure the team also doing well this season.

The Leverkusen performances has been very far from the others team and with that leverkusen can still manage their performances this season’s without sign any new players, because in my those old players are enough for them they can generate what people didn’t expect again, but shal we cannot make early predictions let wait for the new season to arrive and see what will happen.

I still recognise Leverkusen as the strongest team in Bundesliga, quite right Essen are also not small club but that was in those day when they were performing excellently, they have won a Bundesliga title, two times runner up, during that period where was Leverkusen but since they have done their own era and currently Leverkusen are on the top, the question that bothered the most about Leverkusen is can they still perform excellently like last season living behind Bayern Munich, while Bayern Munich have learned their mistakes which they have put in place to get back their position back in bundesliga as it use to be?

We already know about Xabi Alonso because so far he is one of the succesfull young manager in Bundesliga with 2 titles last season so from track record and achievement obviously Xabi Alonso is above to Kompany and Nuri Sahin because this season is their debut season in Bundesliga but so far the strongest candidate for the titles of next season is belongs to Bayern Munich although most people were doubt about Kompany but the bookmakers still placed Bayern Munich as the first favourite which i have already to discuss about this before

For Dortmund with Nuri Sahin i don't think personally i would considers them as strong contender for race titles considering Dortmund latest performance is very dissapointing but probably Dortmund still compete for top 4 or champion league spots however regardless the race titles indeed next season Bundesliga were dominate by young managers because at least total 8 managers who still categorized as young managers

And if we talking about young managers who managed Bundesliga team i was interested to Werder Bremen manager  because currently this team was handled by Ole Werner and he is currently 36 years old and he was successfully to bringing Werder Bremen to promote on season 2021/2022 and last season Werder Bremen even can finish at 9th place and almost playing at European competition and i think next season Bremen potentially can became an dark horses team which potentially can make big teams gets in trouble

It is going to be a clash of young managers next season. Xabi Alonso with Leverkusen, Kompany with Bayern Munich and Nuri Şahin with Dortmund. 

Xabi Alonso seem like outweighing the other two on paper for now. However when it comes to squad qualities, I would say Bayern Munich is significantly ahead. But Xabi Alonso showed it last season that having the most qualified squad doesn't guarantee anything. Besides Leverkusen also has really talented youngsters and all of them are staying in the new season.

I just want to see a real title competition this time. I would be even more glad to see 3 teams in it.    But first we need to see what Kompany and Nuri Şahin will do with their big tasks...

I don't really understand the flow of this discussion, but it seems like it's between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. For me, several teams have varying chances in the competition for the Bundesliga title this new season. As we are discussing, both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen have varying chances to win or defend the title.
Let's talk from Munich's side first, in terms of player depth, Bayern can be said to be superior to other teams competing in the Bundesliga. However, Vincent Kompany's performance has not been tested at all. As for the pre-season matches they played, they cannot be a definite benchmark in our assessment.

In Leverkusen's camp, this team was the champion last season. Besides that, it seems that Alonso has not made many changes to his team squad. I mean, their core players remain with Leverkusen. Plus, Alonso brought in several newcomers. The goal is none other than for them to maintain their consistency when playing in the Bundesliga and other leagues. However, the competition in the Domestic League will not be as easy as last season. at least, some other teams are also trying to deepen their squad depth. such as Borussia Dortmund which is currently quite associated with several players they want to bring in, yes after getting two players from Stuttgart previously. other teams such as RB Leipzig, Marco Rose can improve the quality of his team's game. moreover, his rival team is handled by a young manager. at least, their chances of competing are also open to become the top of the Bundesliga standings. so, for me this is interesting because it seems like next season is more competitive than the previous season.

The Bundesliga will soon start,and many teams are in the transfer market trying to sign players that can add to the squad,most teams have added players,while some teams are yet to sign a player,but I think if Leverkusen can retain the players they have,they can still lift the Bundesliga tittle again because the major competitor they had have left,which is Tuchel,now Bayern are being managed by Kompany,which I'm very sure cannot give them tittle,Xabi Alonso is far more better than him,and that will give more added advantage to Xabi.Kompany might maintain second position on the table.

Leverkusen 2 - 1 Essen

We watched match between Essen and Leverkusen football teams and we saw result in the favour of Leverkusen team .  Leverkusen team body language was perfect and they played like winners and  all teams shots were more in number and the their fouls were also less and team gave their hundred percent to win this match and the result of that is in front of that.Essen football team could goal only one and at the end of match we expected that they can do the goal but we were wrong and we saw different result and match was ended without any hinderance. This match happened in Stadion Essen stadium and that stadium was lucky for Leverkusen team.

Bayern Leverkusen last season was quite impressive and surprised us after they won the Bundesliga, their performance and consistency the previous season was the main reason for Leverkusen achievements in the Bundesliga last season, but will they still be able to maintain their performance next season?
Of course it's possible , if remember that Leverkusen has currently brought in several new players to strengthen each line of their squad and also still retains almost all the players who played last season in their current squad, but we also shouldn't forget that Leverkusen performed impressively last season as a result of the poor performance of Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the league, so if you say they will still be able to challenge for the title of course I also agree, but for their can to repeat all of last season achievements it seem will be very difficult to happen, because currently Dortmund and Munich have strengthened their squad are getting better so there is great hope for them to be dominan again in bundesliga.
Talking about coaches, didn't we also previously consider Alonso to be an inadequate coach when he first took charge of Leverkusen?

You don't know that, you can not make such conclusions. Even with all of the hard games from last season, the mid-week games on thursdays, they still able to keep a cool head and went ahead to win the Bundesliga League Competition. I'm still rooting for them to win the Bundesliga League Competition again next season.
In between, I do not consider Bayern Munich head coach and manager ( Vincent Kompany ), a better, sound and tactical manager than Xabi Alonso.

They have brought in some names no doubts. But tough season ahead. Bayern Leverkusen are also recruiting players strongly. They also have to impress in the Champions League Competition.

I'm not sure Arteta and Xabi Alonso will field their best squad in this match, as we know, this is a friendly match, whatever the result will not affect both teams. Arsenal and Leverkusen are big teams, but the game they play is not a big one because there is no trophy at stake. Both coaches will mix their squads with young players and some senior players, maybe Granit Xhaka will get a chance to play in this game, but Xabi Alonso will not force Xhaka to play the full 90.

The pre-season match is just a warm-up before the official match starts, the coach will not take any risks in this match, preparing the core players for the official match is more important than forcing them to exhaust their energy in a friendly match. In my opinion, neither Arteta nor Xabi Alonso will care too much about what results their team will achieve, they will only focus on talented young players who can help the first team when needed.

Is this the right move from Dortmund to sign Pascal Groß?

The 33-year-old seems to provide a more creative midfield and will certainly help in every aspect of attack to defense. His statistics while with Brighton are also unusual where he contributed 4 goals and 10 assists last season and even since his first season at Brighton he has always been consistent with contributing an average of 5 goals and 5 assists or more each season.

I think here Dortmund have secured one of the good midfielders to develop the performance of their squad next season and of course they also secure a deadly free kick taker with Pascal Groß.

The meeting between Arsenal and Leverkusen is indeed very important considering that both coaches of these clubs need a lot of experiments, both Arsenal and Leverkusen certainly can't wait to measure the extent of the difference in their respective strengths. Arteta is an ambitious coach who not only wants to conquer Pep Guardiola in terms of tactics but seeing Leverkusen record certainly makes him enthusiastic because Xabi Alonso has turned Leverkusen into a club that should be feared later in the Champions League. Regarding Xhaka, so far he has developed rapidly at Leverksuen, because at Arsenal his role was not too dominant but in the hands of Xabi Alonso Xhaka's skills became an important factor in Leverkusen's attack line. Imagine how motivated Xhaka is to show Arsenal what he can do for his former club.

Can't be sure if Leverkusen can still have the same performance in the next season when Bayern Munich is using the new coach however can't expect to see a miracle from Kompaney in he next season because he is not experienced enough.
However, Leverkusen is also trying to get improved by hiring more players and this can make this team more powerful for the next season when they will also play in the Champions League.

It’s a pre season game but it will definitely be an interesting game aside the fact that Xhaka will get to meet his old teammates. We can’t say for sure who will win this game because Leverkusen are now on a whole different level and they can also be regarded as a big team now from what they did last season. It will definitely be a good test for Arsenal and also Leverkusen to see how far they have prepared themselves, it may not go as we expect because in a preseason game a lot of players are given opportunity to prove themselves and so lots of changes will be made which will make the game to turn out differently.

Arteta vs Alonso will be a fixture i will want to see again when the season begins.
