It is very natural for someone to doubt Leverkusen's progress next season, as well as those who have great confidence that Alonso will be able to at least make his team one of the strong contenders for next season. If we refer to Leverkusen's performance in the last two seasons since being handled by Alonso, their improvement has been very drastic. Last time, they didn't lose even in the Bundesliga. however, if their target is to be undefeated like the previous season, this will be very difficult to achieve again. Alonso is required to maintain the consistency of his squad, plus be strengthened by several newcomers who he can really rely on. whether the main players, as well as the second layer players. even so, it will be very difficult to repeat the unbeaten record like the previous season. the point is, Alonso will continue to improve the performance of his team and defend the trophy they won last season.

Talking about The Bavarians, currently there is not much we can speculate about, especially that Bayern will be handled by a coach who does not have a good record during his coaching career. yeah, Kompany's performance is still highly questionable. It's natural, if many people doubt it. but on the other hand, currently Bayern Munich is trying to bring in several new arrivals to deepen the strength of its team. the question is whether Kompany can bring Bayern Munich to its level again. or, Alonso will retain his title. well, we'll find out after the Bundesliga rolls around. perhaps, RB Leipzig and Dortmund will compete to win the Bundesliga trophy.

If we compare Napoli who were unable to win again in the following season, it was because the coach who led Napoli to victory decided to quit and leave. So Napoli have a new coach and the strategy they use is very different from the previous coach. Leverkusen still has a coach who succeeded in bringing them to victory so there is still potential to win again in the coming season. It is possible that Bayern Munich's performance has also weakened, so Leverkusen will take advantage of this moment to stay in top position.

Not satisfied enough after getting Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, now Bayern Munich is reportedly ready to pay Bernardo Silva's clause from Manchester City of £50 million. The 29 year old midfielder from Portugal has been a mainstay in Manchester City's midfield and it seems that if this transfer goes smoothly he will leave this summer.

It seems that this time Bayern Munich are really serious because they experienced a bad season previously and they are planning to make a more proper squad so they can compete to win the title again next season. Other news is that Jossua Kimmich is open to EPL clubs who want him and I think this will be the right circulation of funds to smooth this transfer process.

Oh God, They don't have to dominate the Bundesliga League division by going unbeaten again next season, No!I believe they'll still thrive and remain amongst the first four clubs in the Bundesliga League Competition at the end of next season but who wins the Bundesliga? That I cannot say. I'd love to finally see Borrussia Dortmund win it though, I want to see it go round since Bayern Leverkusen has broken the 11 season back to back unbeaten run set by Bayern Munich.

Why the comparison between Napoli and Bayern Leverkusen? It's completely different from this case scenario. At least they've still got the shepherd intact.

The management of Napoli has a fight with Luciano Spalletti and did nothing to solve the dispute between them, him leaving left them no choice but to bring in another coach who wasn't capable of handling the player's, infact they went on to olaya under four managers who completely failed the club.

T's not same with Bayern Leverkusen, they have the winning squad intact and also Xabi Alonso who will still be coach. I don't see them struggling. Finishing top of the group stage in the Champions League Competition is what I predict for them.

Many teams have learned from the success of Xabi Alonso as a young coach who succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to become an unbeatable team throughout last season in the Bundesliga. It seems that Munich is following in Leverkusen's footsteps and recruiting Kompany to become head coach in Munich. I don't want to be too quick to judge Kompany's abilities. In being a head coach, perhaps compared to an experienced coach, Kompany might not be anything, but this is the opportunity that Kompany has given him to show his ability to make Munich a good team next season.

Kompany must remain focused on Munich and of course many think that he will fail and will not be able to give Munich a trophy next season, but he can show that by bringing Munich back to dominating the Bundesliga after Leverkusen broke their dominance last season, this is an opportunity that given to Kompany to show that he is capable of bringing Munich to a trophy next season, currently Kompany must focus more on recruiting players to fill his main squad because it is important for Munich to be able to compete with other teams in the Bundesliga and in European competitions. Kompany and Xabi Alonso don't have the same abilities so of course there are differences between the two, can't wait to see both of them compete for the title in the Bundesliga next season.

Just like you, I personally also doubt that next season Leverkusen will be able to do what they are doing now, Leverkusen can perform optimally at the moment when indeed Bayern Munich is not in good condition and it is difficult to maintain their dominance this season, Leverkusen performance this season is of course supported by the even quality and depth of the squad they currently have,But reportedly currently Leverkusen has sold some of its main players to other teams and of course it will affect their performance next season, Leverkusen of course needs additional new players for them to recruit, especially now that Bayern Munich and other teams are starting to actively strengthen their squad for next season.

Precisely I think Kompany will be able to surprise us next season, Kompany has done a good job at Burnley before by making Burnley promoted to the English League, but indeed the relegation of Burnley is quite unfortunate but we all can't blame Kompany because indeed he does not get the support of the club by recruiting good players to be able to compete in the Premier League,  But now by handling a team full of stars, of course, it is likely that Kompany will be able to maximize all his abilities in coaching and bringing change at Bayern Munich next season.

However it also depends on the financial situation of the team in my opinion, if the team needs money to make them better then maybe they won't pass up the opportunity to sell their players for a high price. On the other hand, if they have money and are more concerned with achievement, then they will try to keep him in the squad. The reason is that there are also teams that have stable finances but they are still busy doing business and put profit as their main goal, such as Borussia Dortmund.

Stuttgart this season has looked extraordinary and I didn't even expect that they would be at the top of the standings and finish in a better place than Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. After the previous season, they even performed disappointingly in the Bundesliga. What worries me is where they will decline in the next season, because usually many teams show things like that. However, I hope that Stuttgart can maintain their good performance and be able to compete again at the top of the Bundelsiga standings next season.

Buying or try to get new good players is not a guarantee that they all get together so short and win every game or get the title.
I really dont know him what kind of coach he is or how he work , but there is and will be a high pressure on when the first training will start.

That what Alonso did in Leverkusen is and i guess was unique.
If Kompany will dont get any trophy after the season im sure that he will be out then if he not goes earlier.

Actually difficult for Bayern Leverkusen defend their Bundesliga trophy next season because will participants in Champion League, huge pressure and get more busy schedule matches for Leverkusen when playing in Champion League than this season their performance only participants in Europe League. But looking the other teams participants or bigger candidate winner team Bayern Munich not really difficult become competitor for Bayern Leverkusen, appointing lack experience manager Vincent Kompany seems make Bayern Leverkusen has bigger chance for defending their Bundesliga trophy next season.

In my opinion, Bayer Leverkusen has bigger opportunity percentage for defending their Bundesliga trophy than Bayern Munich and I think Xabi Alonso keep continues impressive performance with Leverkusen next season by winning back to back.
Recently Bayern Munich more active for signing new players than Bayern Leverkusen but Xabi Alonso keep with their current squad seems not need new adapt just several players only signing right now.

I doubt Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen can dominate the Bundesliga next season. Leverkusen cannot win the title by going undefeated for a whole season. If Leverkusen wants to dominate the Bundesliga next season, Leverkusen management should definitely try to strengthen their squad. We saw the Napoli team dominate the 2022-23 season and win the title. However, last season we saw this team finish tenth in the table. So Leverkusen will have to play very carefully from the start of the season if they want to win the title.

There won't be too many expectations from Bayern Munich next season. Bayern Munich have a strong squad but new coach Vincent Kompany is not experienced enough. I don't know why Bayern Munich have appointed such an inexperienced coach.

It all depends on the team's strategy, if the team worked purposefully, achieved good results and in the end was able to profitably sell several players and thus earn good money, then perhaps this was their goal. At least I can easily name several teams that work exactly according to this algorithm and feel very good. But there are teams for which this is unacceptable (for example, Bayern), only victory is important for them, and it seems that Alonso wants to make Bayer such a team, although he had the opportunity to lead Bayern...

Exactly my thoughts on Kompany as Bayern Munich coach, I don’t think Kompany will be long there because he is going to face a lot for the first time as the coach of the team, no matter how is Kompany can’t just go to the team and the team performance will change and they win the league immediately, Kompany needs to do something’s that will change the team performance, buying players that will help the team, I didn’t mean that Bayern Munich will not win the league this season, they can win it but even though they win it is not because of Kompany is because Bayern Munich has good players in the team.

It will be difficult for Kompany to make Bayern Munich strong like the way Alonso did in Leverkusen last season, no coach can do that, any coach that can do what Alonso did in Leverkusen must be a smart man who knows how to get good players and he can build them to become the best player, let see what will happen this season after the league start and we should be praying that Bayern Munich should not sack Kompany when he can’t win any trophy for the team next season.

But that gave rise to certain thoughts, such as they knew that they would not be able to get the Bundesliga because Leverkusen had very strong advantage and it was impossible to surpass them, Bayern Munich focused on the UCL competition that was being held so that they were able to reach the semifinals.
Failure against Real Madrid is normal because Real Madrid itself is very strong team and Bayern Munich chances of winning are very small, they have several obstacles such as less than optimal back line players, this is the cause of their decline.
But repeating an opportunity like this next season is absolutely impossible to do, UCL king Real Madrid is getting stronger and will definitely put burden on Bayern Munich if they have to fight for the UCL title and for the Bundesliga it is still possible for Leverkusen to dominate.
But their hopes are also in the Bundesliga and other German competitions, this is an opportunity for Bayern Munich to win the title and make some money next season.

However, I did not include Stuttgart name in the team that will have the opportunity to fight for the Bundesliga title next season, as I said before that Stuttgart will lose some of its best players and this will definitely result in decline in performance.
It just that whatever happens in the future, my hope is to be able to see truly competitive competition and be able to show very interesting matches.

I do not get what Chelsea will do with this many players, they are constantly getting bunch of players every single season, and spending hundreds of millions of pounds on players every year as well, it is looking like they are having trouble with cap sometimes as well and need to end up selling some players to make room too. It's really weird to have this method, doesn't mean that it won't work, it will work and I think we should consider the fact that we are focusing on the wrong thing.

We need to make sure that we are going to end up with a greater result if we are not entirely sure, and if they get bad results for too many years in a row, this will turn to a bad business deal for the new owner who may want to sell and get rid of it.

Usually big clubs look for good players at low prices by looking at the player's performance, playing at a mediocre club and then rising to the top, the price is still affordable. If you recruit good players from top clubs, usually top clubs charge quite high prices because of their good reputation they have. So it is natural that Sehrou Guirassy is interested in many big clubs because of his good performance last season and being a player that Stuttgart can rely on.
I think this is a good opportunity for Sehrou Guirassy to move to a bigger club so that his future will be better and his selling value could be even more expensive if his skills are still good. He is currently 28 years old so it is not too late for him to plan his future with a big club and achieve a lot title, if he stays at Stutgart I'm not sure this club will be able to maintain its consistency for the second time next season because they will also play in the Champions League next season and the obstacles will become more difficult.

One thing I have understood in football and it’s very prevalent amongst small clubs is this; after winning something big in a season or had a lot of players that contributed to a more larger success for them for that season, they easily discard them and allow them to join bigger teams and then leave this small teams with no good player to keep them strong and active in the league like before which makes the competition more exciting. This is a sign that these teams are more after their business, money they’ll generate from selling those players instead of keeping team and increasing their income a bit. This is one of the reasons some league are not as interesting to some because the best players are in one club and they’ll always dominate the league and win.

The Bundesliga will send five representatives to the Champions League next season, Leverkusen, Bayern Munchen, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Dortmund. Meanwhile, I predict that the competition for the Bundesliga trophy will involve these five teams, so those who can appear balanced in these two competitions will be very lucky. Leverkusen has the better chance of them, because Xabi Alonso decided to stay for next season. Meanwhile, the depth composition of Leverkusen squad doesn't seem to have changed much, so they have the opportunity to repeat the success story like last season.

Regarding Leverkusen performance in the Champions League, I assume their journey there will not be as consistent as in the Europa League last season, because there are many elite clubs who have better strengths. Even though Xabi Alonso will try to prioritize these two competitions, I think his main priority will still be the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, changing managers for Bayern Munchen and Dortmund should be a good opportunity for Leverkusen, because usually new managers need time to adapt. Personally, I would not be surprised if Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga trophy again next season.

I  agree, there is no room for the underestimating other club as things are going any moment can bring changes, and now we are having new generation coaches which are doing good job and having their own way of bringing things under well control and I also sure Xabi Alonso never do any mistake to underestimate them with things could be not easy while we are going to have few changes in all top clubs many new players are joining and giving them strength which will bring good competitiveness and motivation for the success as well.

Even there is too much talk about Vincent Kompany, but we have to watch him before giving any solid comments because he was a good player and also done good job in last job with we can expect Bayern Munich surely could be more aggressive for the future and break their jinx which hurt them badly in last season, and they were ended without any trophy.

You made two different statements that needs to be reacted to;

• Xavi Alonso may not repeat his unbeaten record:

Obviously I do not think that anyone is expecting Xavi Alonso and his boys to repeat their unbeating history in the incoming season. The only thing that is expected of them is to defend the Bundesliga title by whatever means they will do but they should be at the top of the table at least for one more season.

• Kompany will have difficulty bringing Kane to Success:

I think this statement is not true. Harry Kane is not an amateur striker that any coach need to refine. Harry Kane is already made and has been consistent for the past decade. So he only needs to be fit in order to score goals. Besides, Vincent Kompany has been in England for long with Harry Kane they both understand each other.

Yes, it is true that defending the title is probably going to be very hard for them, but you know already Xabi Alonso's team broke a 59-year record for the longest unbeaten streak. I think it is not a good idea to say that there is a high chance for Leverkusen to actually lose that title. Because they have been able to win the title without a very big squad. So they will probably be able to defend the title as well. What worked for them was the teamwork. Xabi Alonso also had some very good tactics as well. But the thing is, they will definitely have to improve the defense. I have heard that they are looking for good defenders and also good attackers as well. I think the defense and the midfield should be the main priority right now though.
