Hmmm, I quite agree with your opinion, mate. Enthusiasm at the start of the season is necessary to build the foundation for the league's journey, logically this makes sense. If at the start of the season Bayern Munich meets St. Pauli or Holstein Kiel, that would be a one-sided advantage for Bayern Munich.

But first, as I said before, we just need to see how Vincent Kompany leads this club in the friendly match against Duren, then the 2 leg match against Tottenham Hotspur and the first round of the DFB Pokal in August.

Anyone who has been following the development of football for long time will definitely not be confident in Dortmund being able to beat Real Madrid, can see that there is no history of Real Madrid losing when they entered the UCL final and what more, Dortmund is also not team in very strong condition.
I will say again that several times Dortmund could reach the UCL final in the past with very good conditions and having many great players but they all failed and only ended up as runners-up, for now their condition is much worse than in the past so it is impossible to achieve victory and record new history.
If this failure was the main reason for Terzic dismissal then I would also say that it was very ambiguous decision, Dortmund is not necessarily able to become strong team with new coach, it will take time to see the changes.

In this way, it will be much easier for Dortmund to perform better because Terzic has all the experience that can be very useful in changing Dortmund performance, the only mistake is that the support given by Dortmund management to Terzic is never adequate.
Just look, when Dortmund starts to improve and has players who start to stand out with great skills, it won't be long before these players will be sold and Dortmund performance will start to decline again, this is the problem that always burdens Terzic and makes him look like failure.

I was just about to comment on this, confused between Xabi or Xavi he was talking about, and also about Liverpool or Barcelona. Because the staemnet is mixed up between Leverkusen and Barcelona, ​​as well as Xabi and Xavi. Plus, Xavi is no longer at Barcelona, ​​so his contract has ended. Or maybe what is meant is Xabi's contract at Leverkusen.

What is clear is that Xabi will remain at Leverkusen. Even previously, Liverpool has reached to get Xabi as their coach. However, Xabi decided to reject it.

However, the choice of Kompany as their new coach is definitely not only because they are frustrated. But it was indeed the best decision according to them. They claim that Kompany really has the ability to do that, but so far he hasn't managed a bigger club. And also, Bayern Munich believes that Kompany has the same vision and also a similar training style to Bayern Munich. So, that becomes one of the outcomes that they can consider,

When Nagelsman was working at Bayern Munich they were still in a good situation and they were expecting to see good results from their coach but he couldn't get the found a reason to get him fired.
But it was not the only reason for getting Nagelsman fired from Bayern Munich, Nagelsman had bad relationships with some players including Manuel Neuer and the experienced goalkeeper was not the only player in this situation which was another reason. But other than these, they wanted to hire Tuchel because Tuchel had a much better experience in the Champions League with Chelsea, since they wanted to win the Champions League it was another reason for them to get Nagelsman fired.  

This is something many have nor come to understand including me, why did they pick Kompany maybe is something we might find out in time but I guessed maybe because he is similar to Pep and are tempted to try some fresh blood because of recent success of Xabi Alonso.


You make some sense and this is what many people have failed to understand about Kompany and just see him as the bad choice for the team after he was hired a week ago as the new manager to lead them through 2024/25 seaosn. I won’t be amongst those that will be surprised as Bayern Munich begins to be victorious in their matches next season because I’m not amongst those that doubts Kompany’s capabilities. He’ll do well and he’ll prove it to everyone soon.
