Stuttgart put on an amazing season. Second place in the Bundesliga - that is enormous! The large clubs arrived naturally sniffing around. You lose talents like Ito, Anton, Guirassy; that will be difficult. Folks, this is the cost of success. These days, they are savvy business - bringing in a lot of cheap defenders. Demirovic also? Last season, 15 goals, 10 assists; not poor. Still, he has great shoes to occupy. They paid €21 million for him, hence there is pressure. No question, he has to improve his game. The true test is how cohesively these fresh guys mix. Can they discover the same enchantment as in past seasons? Though its a risk, hey, thats football. I will be keenly observing to see how it turns out.

Such clubs need more money to keep it running so that is why they have to sell their top players. But replacing a goal scorer like Guirassy is not an easy one to do. He had 15 goals and 10 assists last seas amidst his injury but very impressive. The Anton deal i still think it is a good one for the team.

When you see someone who understand the nature of his job what you expect. Kompany knows what he is doing and of course the next season will be a better one for them. Last season they had to adapt with the new players and see what the outcome will be. But this season they have exactly what they need to win the Bundelsiga.

Guirassy will be a strong reinfocement for Borussia Dortmund. When Guirassy played for VfB Stuttgart, he scored many goals, had a big percentage for Stuttgarts 2nd place in Bundesliga and he was a frightening attacker who always found a way even against strong defenses to score a goal. I expect Guirassy to do well at Borussia Dortmund and hopefully, Stuttgart will be a title contender for Deutsche Meisterschaft.

It's interesting when talking about Stuttgart because they managed to be in 2nd place in the Bundesliga last season which made their players in great demand and in the end they had to lose the players who helped them achieve a very good position in the Bundesliga. I think they have prepared for that, because when they manage to play well their players will start to become targets of other teams and they have felt that now.
In my opinion, their preparations for the next season will be a bit hampered, because they have to look for players who are ready to fill the void left by several players in this transfer window. Or there is another option they can do, namely by developing potential young players, even though that is a very difficult thing.
With the departure of several key players, I hope they can still maintain their performance like last season, because they have now become a new hope in the Bundesliga competition. Many people are starting to believe in them to be in the competition at the top.

Stuttgart has lost quite much blood in this transfer window already so far. Hiroki Ito, Waldemar Anton and Serhou Guirassy have all left for Bayern Munich and Dortmund. They couldn't sell Guirassy for a big amount because of his release clause. Ito also was sold for an amount below his market value but the Anton deal was better than both.

They have signed many CBs after that for cheap prices but let's see. More importantly, they have found their replacement for Guirassy: Ermedin Demirovic.

He had good stats in the previous season: 15 goals, 10 assists. Still not a Guirassy though.    But who knows he might also improve his performance after this signing. It was a €21m deal by the way.

Currently Kompany must focus on forming and also maximizing the Munich squad to face the fierce competition next season, previously Bayern Munich continued to dominate the Bundesliga, but after the revival of Leverkusen may make it difficult for the munich next season will be difficult to  dominated league again, remembering Leverkusen and Dortmund which will most likely give Bayern Munich a lot of resistance,  Kompany has been given full trust by Munich to handle the team next season, so I think there is nothing more that Munich fans can do at the moment other than just seeing and still supporting Munich although maybe some fans don't like Kompany as a coach, currently Bayern Munich has tried to recruit some new players who are expected to be able to bring Munich even better next season in Kompany hands.

I love this player, at some point last season, I wanted him to come on top ahead of Harry Kane as the Bundesliga highest goalscorer, but injuries halt his pace at which he was banging them goals.
He was instrumental player for Stuggart last season alongside Undav ( His teammate ). The both players did play a big role to find themselves second position behind Bayern Leverkusen.

He'll be missed, I thought he would want to leave for clubs in the Premier League Competition, but good decision to stick with Borrussia Dortmund, he already has experience of the league, settling down in the club wouldn't be difficult for him. I so much love the signature, because, when you compare the goals he scored and that score by the two highest goal scorers for Borrussia Dortmund, they don't come close to what he did.

Both goals scored by Fullkrug and Malen D last season won't even equal what he did last season. Hopefully, they try to win the Bundesliga League Competition this season since Bayern Leverkusen has broken the deadlock last season.

Munich's management really has full confidence in Kompany from what the management has given by bringing in young and talented players this is a matter of support for Kompany to give his best, but if everything that Munich has given to Kompany doesn't work, it could be said to be very ridiculous. bringing a coach who has no abilities, but if he succeeds he deserves it with the expensive squad he is given, but looking at the Munich training camp with Kompany it looks like they are very happy and of course Kompany has succeeded in bringing his positive aura to the team, but what is really awaited is the official game because everyone will be waiting for him to see how he will perform and the strategy he will build for Munich's expensive squad next season.

However, if you assess next season, it is not certain that Kompany will bring Munich to the championship because Leverkusen is currently in good form and Xabi also has experience in the Bundesliga and of course it will be very difficult for Kompany to bring Munich to the championship, but if Kompany succeeds in conquering smoother for the champions, the duel between them as young coaches is also eagerly awaited to see the final result, who is more worthy, but I think Munich will lose to Leverkusen because of Xabi Alonso.

Every coach can buy any talented player for his team, just from looking at the recruitment does not mean that it will be a great hope for the owner, we do not know for sure how the game will be presented by Vincent Kompany from Bayer Munich because as far as we know that we have to judge fairly, and it will be seen from the game that will be shown on the field.

All coaches also buy the players they need to make them much better from their respective views, it is also not only done by Vincent Kompany or Bayern Munich but other German league teams also prepare the same thing and their goals are also the same to get stronger and stronger from the previous season.

One of the significant reasons for their decision was Guardiola's recommendation, in fact, Guardiola has always had a very good opinion of Kompany, so I see no reason why he could say anything bad about him. Kompany had the opportunity to study with Guardiola for a long time, he knows all the training processes, knows his strategies, so the choice of Bayern has logic, but in any case they made the decision, since no one else can be responsible for their decision. Once Negelsman or Alonso started out as young and inexperienced coaches, but every successful story begins with trust.

Not wanting to be outdone by Bayern Munich, now Leverkusen has signed a contract with Martin Terrier from Rennes. He is a winger and it looks like Leverkusen wants to strengthen its attack line next season. The competition will be much tougher and therefore Levekusen must do the same if they still want to maintain their performance like last season.

Martin Terrier's statistics with Rennes last season were 9 goals and 3 assists in all competitions and under the direction of Xabi Alonso his potential will certainly be developed gradually. He also received a long-term contract until 2029. Challenges will continue to come and of course Leverkusen will continue their unbeaten trend and I think after this they have to bring in a new defender because as we have heard, Jonathan Tah will go to Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga was quite interesting last season, but I feel that the next season will be more difficult than the previous season. Every team is getting the players it needs to improve its performance and battle for the championship. Vincent Kompany has a lot of work to do to improve Bayern Munich's performance and win the Bundesliga title, the club is adding more players to make it less difficult for Kompany to challenge Xabi Alonso, who broke their record. Bayern Munich performed badly last season, since I've known them, that was the first time they did without a trophy, in previous years, they won one or two trophies per season.


Of course, I believe Bayer Leverkusen will have a difficult time next season because Bayern Munich has signed more players, however, Bayern Munich had a poor performance due to several players who were out of form and injured, such as Coman and Gnabry, who were unable to play throughout the season. If Kompany can improve the players, I believe they will be successful since they conceded a lot of goals last season due to a weak defense, and Kane contributions became useless, scoring 40 goals but winning no title.

That is Harry Kane's weakness every time the opponent's defense starts aim and blocking Kane, he can't do anything even though he is a scorer but when he is deadlocked, he cannot find a way to keep scoring in difficult situations.


In my opinion, Harry Kane doesn't have any problems in every Bundesliga match, but I think that Bayern Munich's defense is very weak, even though Kane scores in large numbers, it will all be in vain if Munich also concedes often.
It is possible that Leverkusen can remain on the same path as last season, but there will be other clubs who are the strongest challengers, such as Dortmund, which is currently bringing in a reliable striker.

Just prove Vincent Kompany's ability first, before speculating too much, he seems to be selective in choosing the players he recruits but they don't necessarily suit his coaching style. My feeling is that Bayern Munich's performance is still the same as last season they will still compete at the top of the standings, but I think they again did not win the Bundesliga title because currently the Bundesliga is trying to build a better performance and is trying hard to make their level the same as other competitive leagues.
Dortmund have also made several transfers to improve their performance as well as Leverkusen who have retained their talented players and also recruited several players so they can compete with Bayern Munich again so we'll see what will happen next season.

Bayern Munich really needs a solid squad like the one they have had in the last few seasons. Kompany is trying to bring in new players to improve the quality of the team because currently the Bundesliga is no longer a comfort zone for them since Leverkusen has succeeded in increasing its strength to become a strong team. Currently Bayern Munich is in the process of improving after failing to win a trophy last season, Tuchel was immediately fired because he was deemed unable to handle the team well. 
Kompany has to work even harder to prove to the public that he is capable of handling a big club like Bayern Munich. The selection of players brought in must truly suit the team's needs, he must work professionally to keep Bayern Munich on a winning path.

At least, even if there are players leaving Leverkusen, there are indeed some rumors, Leverkusen has also started signing to strengthen their team this season for tighter matches and competition. Recently, they signed Martin Terrier. The French forward from Rennes finally joined forces with the Bundesliga champions last season for million euros. The contract is for 20 million euros. This 27 year old left winger has signed a contract with Leverkusen until at least 2029. And he will immediately carry out his first training as soon as possible. Because the season is getting closer to the main league matches.

This indicates that the competition in the Bundesliga is now getting tougher, it is no longer a standard competition. In the past there was only Bayern Munich and Dortmund, now, let's look at last season's Bundesliga status, in fact Dortmund could only be in 5th place, fortunately they were finalists in the UCL last season, so Dortmund will still be able to enter the UCL this season , and in the end, the Bundesliga had a large number of clubs participating in the UCL and UEFA Europa League. This is a very good achievement for the Bundesliga.

For Dortmund, the last highlight was the project of signing one of Stuttgart's players, Serhou Guirassy. This news has been confirmed that Dortmund signs this forward line for a contract for the next 4 years. This is the second time Dortmund has acquired a player from their Bundesliga rival. The reason for signing Guirassy is quite reasonable because his performance at Stuttgart last season was very good, he was even one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga after Harry Kane with 28 goals.

You’re not quite wrong with your assertion about the whole issue but I think the playing pattern or the structure of the club Bayern Munich was the reason they went for Vincent Kompany. The Bayern style of player over the years has changed to those of Spanish football where they like to possess a lot of the ball. And this now requires them to  have a coach that plays that’s same. Then aside the football pattern the idea of looking for a long term solution rather than a quick fix is another reason. There are senior or let me say top coaches then that were available but the problem been that they usually travelers rather than coaches that sit at a club for Long and looking at them as a Solution was more like a quick fix.

Of course. No one can judge Kompany will fail to manage Bayern Munich. The season isn't started yet, Bayern Munich still doesn't play a single coach. How we can conclude Kompany's career in Bayern Munich? Sure, Bayern management will give 100% of their support to Kompany, it should be the same as other previous coaches. It is not impossible that Kompany can surprise everyone to lead Bayern Munich winning the Bundesliga title in the season 2024/2025.

I don't think each young managers will prefer signing young players. However, Kompany looks like to target young players, it is a good idea to improve the squad with more young players. This way will guarantee that the club will have good future with young players. If they only focus on old players, it will be a temporary solution only. Well, Hiroki Ito and Michael Olise are young players. There are many other young player who are signed by Bayern Munich such as Bryan Zaragoza, Armindo Sieb, and Nestory Irankunda. But Bayern management also signed old players such as Eric Dier and João Palhinha.

We are meant to believe that friendlies are played in order to test the strength of a team and most importantly to test new players that are just joining the team from other clubs. You can’t ascertain the strength of a team by their final result in a friendly match but some feel it is what they’re capable of playing they’re already showcasing even before the league starts but in most cases, it is now always like that. Teams tend to increase and improve their performance when the real season begins after testing most of their players and getting a new tactics to employ for the next season.

We cannot conclude that Vincent Kompany is the right coach for Bayern Munich until we see the performance of the club this season. Bayern Munich management Is giving him all the support he needs so that he won't have any excuse for failing. Naturally, young coaches will be attracted to younger players because they will be easy to manage. Vincent just had the first training season with the players and I hope he will be able to coordinate the senior players. His ability to command respect in the dressing room is important considering his age. However, the signing of signings of Hiroki Ito, João Palhinha, and Michael Olise is a big plus you the team and I wish him a successful season.
