It was not only Leverkusen that was bringing some dynamism into the german league again.
There was also a few others like Stuttgart Leipzig and for sure that nobody has expected Heidenheim.
Hopefully they can continue that good performance next season again with there style of playing.

It's a really strange sight. 11 years of domination and the season when it finally broke was the 23/24 season, and an unexpected team is Bayern Leverkusen. Really, Xabi Alanso did a great job, he was very close to winning a trophy, I am sorry that he lost it that trophy. But being the leader in the league and beating Bayern Munich was a very special situation. They really brought dynamism to the league.

LOL. Bayern Munich's dominance for years has finally been broken, and what broke it was a team that had not yet tasted the title and even its coach was a coach who was previously thought to not have much experience. However, Xabi Alonso with his strategy was finally able to break Bayern Munich's dominance, which in my opinion is something many people have been waiting for.

Their failure in the Europa League final for me is not a matter of greeting at all, indeed there will definitely be disappointment for them, but for me that does not diminish my assessment or appreciation of them. Xabi Alonso also decided to stay, and I think it was a very good decision for him, even though there were several offers that came his way. It seems he wants to prove that he can bring Leverkusen to talk more in the Champions League. because if we talk about his coaching career, if he can succeed in bringing Leverkusen to a good performance in the Champions League, then there will be even bigger offers.

I do not think that Kompany can do that, I mean not like Xabi was some superstar manager before this season, so it is not like it is going to be a fair comparison, but the reality is that we are not seeing Kompany with his premier league bad rep coming in here and suddenly be great.

Don't get me wrong, Bayern could win the league this season, there is really nothing wrong with that and it is possible, but if they do, that wouldn't be just because Kompany, I would give him a bit of credit, but not a whole lot because it is Bayern Munich we are talking about and that means they are going to end up with a title no matter who the manager is, last season was a fluke and if they win that would be because they are the best team in that league.

It was like watching a horror film really. 11 years of domination by Bayern Munich... It has finally come to an end. 



Thanks to Xabi Alonso of course. He is like a mastermind to me honestly. He mixed the things he learned from the bests in his head for years and created his own beautiful system.    Who would have thought it would run like clockwork right? Yeah maybe they lost in the Europa League finale. But I believe there was some complacency there too.

Anyways, as Leverkusen is likely to keep their current squad with the best players I expect another determined performance throughout the season. But this time I hope to see a big title competition.

Leverkusen is showing a pretty good performance at the moment in the Bundesliga, but on the contrary the first defeat of the season they got in the Europa League against a team that has never been the favorite to win the Europa League, the defeat to Atlanta of course indicates that the mentality possessed by Leverkusen is not enough to compete in the current European competition, this season Leverkusen failed in Europe after the lack of mentality they have so that our doubts arise To be able to see them go far in the Champions League next season, as you said, of course at the moment Leverkusen still needs to improve the quality of the squad they have to maintain their Bundesliga champion status and also compete in the Champions League next season.

Currently it is reported that some Leverkusen players are starting to be approached by big European teams, so if Leverkusen loses some of their main players this season, of course it will be very risky for Leverkusen, in addition to having to maintain the current squad, of course Leverkusen must bring in several other players who are able to improve their mentality and performance next season,  I personally see if maybe Leverkusen is still able to compete in the top 4 of the Bundesliga next season, but competing for the title again certainly seems impossible because currently Bayern Munich is starting to improve their squad.

Marco Rose will be at Leipzig until 2026 and i personally thinking he deserved to gets contract extension because during this season Leipzig performance is quite consistent and they can finish at 4th place at the end of league above to Dortmund and after losing several important players such as Josko Gvardiol, Christopher Nkunku, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Konrad Laimer last summer i thought Leipzig will be unable to bounce back and lost their consistency because they have decided to sell those players above which their status at that time as the key players in Leipzig

But clearly i was wrong because Marco Rose can solved to losing those players and Leipzig is quite consistent this season and if i am not mistaken since arrived to Leipzig on September 2022 Marco Rose can give 2 trophies total to Leipzig with 1 DFB pokal and 1 Germany Super Cup and in Champion League this season Leipzig can advances to round of 16 but unfortunately they lost from Real Madrid on that stage

If Atalanta is able to beat Bayer Leverkusen, then playing in the Champion League which basically Bayer Leverkusen will playing against teams with better quality, then of course Bayer Leverkusen still has to bring in new players. At least, to prepare the team to be even better next season with the best possible rotation that can be done if Bayer Leverkusen brings in some new players. Although indeed, I also still recognize that Xabi Alonso will still be able to provide good results for Bayer Leverkusen next season but it seems, only limited to the domestic league. Because anyway, if they want to get good results also in the Champion League, then total rotation will be something that must be done, so they need second-tier players who also have good quality.

Leverkusen was not in a position to beat Bayan Munich in the beginning of the season that's why this team was not that tough opponent to all the other teams but gradually when this team won one match after another everyone considered this team as a tough opponent. The biggest surprise from Leverkusen's side was that they went undefeated this season and won the league title in addition to beating Bayern Munich. The team that all the other teams did not have much plans for last season, now the big teams will plan the most with this team. Bayern Munich will certainly not want to lose the league title to this team at least this season. If Leverkusen does not want to lose the title to Bayan Munich again, Bayan Munich will have to play well from the start and not drop any points in any match to win the league title next season.

Leipzig has announced a contract extension for its coach, Marco Rose, until 2026 and this is the right step taken by management to retain him. The reason is that since being brought in in 2022, Leipzig has always appeared consistent by successfully finishing in the top four and this former Dortmund coach has not disappointed at all and he just needs to continue his current adventure in bringing Leipzig to the ladder of competition for the title.

During the 23/24 season, Leizpig only suffered 7 defeats from 34 matches and I think this is still normal even though there were several moments that they could have turned into wins. Well, let's see whether Leipzig can still maintain its performance next season and we know that this Bundesliga will be even more difficult to predict considering that Bayern Munich will no longer be able to dominate.

I understand this condition. The Bundesliga side will learn from Atalanta who frustrated Leverkusen with possession that could not score in the European Cup final. Atalanta was able to win 3-0.  Atalanta was able to make Leverkusen's strategy not go well. I'm sure at that time Atalanta had learned how Leverkusen worked with a pattern that worked very well in the Bundesliga. If the Leverkusen players are added, it will worsen Leverkusen's situation. In fact, they will find it difficult to defend the champion next season.

Leverkusen must definitely make transfers. Of course, they have very good players, but getting through the transfer period without buying players carries a great risk because the opposing teams now know the players' nature very well. They can resist Leverkusen better. It is rumored that Real Madrid wants to transfer Wirtz. It may be very difficult for new players to replace the players leaving the team.

Alonso was able to bring Leverkusen to make history for the first time in the Bundesliga after 120 years, Leverkusen performance and performance this season is indeed very extraordinary and even an achievement and record of a club that may be difficult for a strong team to achieve later, winning the championship trophy by going unbeaten in one Bundesliga season is not an easy thing,  Moreover, Leverkusen has not had a player who has indeed stood out in their squad since the beginning of the season, but Alonso was able to do a miracle by bringing Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga for the first time and also the DFB Pokal.

Apart from Leverkusen very consistent performance, of course we can say that this season Leverkusen is greatly helped by the decline in the performance of other teams in the Bundesliga, the revival of Leverkusen this season actually coincides with the deterioration of Bayern Munich current performance, so that indeed they do not get a relatively strong resistance in the league, next season of course we will see how Alonso and Leverkusen are able to maintain their performance like this season if Bayern Munich bounces back like the previous seasons.
 

Bayer Leverkusen made serious changes this past season so we should be expecting more from them next season.. They did a great job and they will always want to work hard to keep topping That is something have noticed looking at Manchester and Madrid. they keep winning because they already know what it takes to be champions, That is the same reason why Bayer Leverkusen will want to maintain that position to keep topping. For the Champions League, for champions league they won't go that far because the League is full of experienced clubs that will use experience to defeat whomever they are playing against.
 

for Bayer Leverkusen to maintain consistency during the previous season I don't think they will drop in performance this season Xabi Alonso would have been making plans for next season because is strategy would have been working for him so next season should not be a problem, and I don't see Bayer Leverkusen changing or even planning on getting a new manager, since xabi is behind the whole success.


clubs are after means that make things happen and I don't blame clubs that are after Bayer Leverkusen they knew his worth and what he is capable of doing even if he wants to leave am sure it won't be now he will want to stay a little longer to keep achieving great thing. the man should focus on becoming better there is no rush and if he has a good record he can even get better offers from big clubs so the goal now should be based on improvement.

Regardless of luck or not, Xabi Alonso succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga. This is an extraordinary achievement for Leverkusen and by relying on the limited strength of Xabi Alonso, he has succeeded in realizing the club's big dream. Despite the disappointing performances of Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the presence of Xabi Alonso was able to take advantage of this condition so that he succeeded in winning the Bundesliga title.

But talking about next season it will be different and I have the same belief as you because if you look at the history of the Bundesliga it will never change from the strength or dominance that Bayern Munich has. Xabi Alonso can make bigger history if he is able to present the trophy again next season, but relying on strength like now feels difficult.

I doubt Nuri will be big on Dortmund. Nuri Sahin's effectiveness as a new coach remains the major topic here, whether good or bad. Nuri has served as Terzic's assistant manager since January of this year. This is his only good track record right now. Dortmund's choice to promote him to manager raised many questions.
I can't really use his experience as a former football player at Dortmund to assess how awful or excellent Nuri's career as a head coach in Dortmund is now. I am saying this because I have witnessed former players who were unsuccessful at their clubs as a coach.


I hope it will be coming true for dortmund to go back as a title contender in the upcoming season. Nuri needs to follow what terzic did last season in order to improve dortmund's performance. Nuri needs to fix the empty positions which is available now.

Humels had no right to question Terzic's authority, as an experienced player, he should have understood that bad authority in the team is worse than bad strategy on the field. Moreover, if Terzic was able to reach the Champions League final, even if it happened with great luck, he was able to achieve this, which means blaming him for wrong tactics or something else is wrong. As a result, Humels had to pay a big price for his actions, Dortmund lost an excellent coach, and Humels had to leave the team.

Are you talking about Xabi Alonso or Vincent Kompany?

Xabi is a good coach so far, he managed to make a team that had never won the Bundesliga title get it even with a questionable team composition. For me, his achievements are the result of luck meeting the right time, when they won the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund were in chaotic form, just look at second place in the standings, is it Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund? no, it's Stuttgart.

There will be no more Bundesliga titles for Bayer Leverkusen in the future, no more.

For next season Bayer Leverkusen will definitely make changes to the team, although not significantly, but this must be done to maintain the team's performance or even make the team stronger, especially since next season Bayer Leverkusen will be competing on the Champions League stage, of course they have to make the team far away. even better so that we can compete fiercely.

Regarding whether it will be better, worse or able to maintain the team's performance, I think everything is still possible next season, but I believe that if Xabi Alonos is still the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, there is a big possibility that they can still be at the top of the Bundesliga standings for the title competition because Bayer Leverkusen's current progress or success cannot be separated from the big role of Xabi Alonso as their coach.

This season alone, many teams are interested in bringing in Xabi Alonso, but he has decided to stay with Bayer Leverkusen, but for next season, if Xabi Alonso is able to do the same thing, of course there will be more offers coming and there is a big possibility that he will take on the challenge. bigger of course with a bigger team later.

Yes, of course defending the title will not be an easy task if Leverkusen does not bring in new players to strengthen the club's performance in the coming season.
Meanwhile, other clubs in the Bundesliga are looking for talented players to recruit to get stronger performance and if Leverkusen only keeps old players without bringing in more talented players, of course it will not be easy to defend the Bundesliga title.

Bayern Munich is one of the toughest opponents that Leverkusen will face and if Leverkusen does not make a few changes, Bayern Munich will definitely win back the Bundesliga title because currently Bayern Munich is making big changes to every line that has low productivity.

After a club is successful in winning a title in the previous season, usually the ambition will be bigger and make coaches and players dream of getting another title in the coming season, but Leverkusen was in doubt because currently many clubs are improving their respective clubs to can try to get the title because he is motivated by Leverkusen.
The competition in the upcoming season is likely to be stronger than the previous season.
