We have dortmund as strongest contender to win bundesliga last season but it's failed. We have a new team that will be trying to compete with bayern munchen for the title race.
It will be very interesting to have a new winner this season caused by it's boring to see how bayern has been winning bundesliga for around 11 years. My support is for leverkusen at this moment.
Leverkusen is even more solid compared with last season when the club was still disjointed.
Xabi has been successfully to build the mentality of its players perfectly without any doubt.
@Unknown Op I agree. They actually have a lot of potential. But I think it is important for them that Xabi Alonso is the coach of the squad for a long period of time for them to succeed. Otherwise, I don't think they will actually be able to continue performing well. This is a time when good coaches are very hard to find. And in this time they have found a coach which is really good and also brings them good results.
The problem is the coach is definitely going to be approached by other clubs. And I don’t think he is going to stick around for another season with this club. This is just a process for him to prove that he is a good coach. It is actually not going to be surprising if the team starts performing badly after he leaves.
