Players that are high profiled players will always enchanced their capacity and having absolutely everything to absorbed pressure. Maybe it's high time Xabi Alonso push for his exits from Bayer Leverkusen? Checking his stats in the managerial role I think he's tried and given his very best to the club, they're currently included in the category of one of the best clubs in Germany. Bayer Leverkusen have to make improvements in their team because watching previous performances and game stats against RB Leipzig, definitely not encouraging on their ends.
It is difficult to maintain consistency like last season and now I see Leverkusen losing their best ability in the form of the game collectively. This is what is feared when they managed to dominate the Bundesliga in the previous season will affect the team to continue to be consistent and maybe some players who leave become a problem so that Leverkusen does not play like the previous season. Xabi Alonso must evaluate the weaknesses of the team and they also have to improve their defense to be better because if they are allowed to play like before it will make them lose the opportunity to defend the Bundesliga title.

I start from a natural logic, it is known that the Bundeliga had been dominated for many years by Bayern, but then Leverkusen came along and gave a lesson on how to win a Bundesliga and with an unbeaten record, something that is very difficult in German football, Xabi achieved it, but for this season the mentality of all these Bundesliga teams changed, perhaps they thought that if Leverkusen had the ability to do such a thing, why not them? So the level of football in the Bundesliga is now higher, but for that reason, any team now believes in it and that is good , there is tougher football with a higher level.
Finally, Borrussia Dortmund is that club I would love to see challenge for the Bundesliga League Competition this season seriously. My first choice would still be Bayern Leverkusen. As much as I want to see them win it back to back, I wouldn't mind seeing Borrussia Dortmund fight to win the Bundesliga League Competition thus time around. They have always cime second runners up season after season, it was also disappointing to see that they couldn't get the chance to win it when they was close three seasons back. If Bayern Leverkusen can do that what they dis last season, then other clubs can do just the same if they're consistent and discipline finally. It'll be a long and tougher Bundesliga League Competition ahead. I don't know about the level of football, I can't say too much but they're very good clubs with high technicality.
Exactly my point, bringing in a celebrity player there would give the indigenous players kind of low morale and inferiority complex might set in, thereby promoting the players to start competing for recognition among themselves rather than cooperating and delivering results as a team.
Personally I believe that with more training and motivation, the Leverkusen team would still deliver like last season and by the end of this season, the players would've developed more confidence to incorporate a new player of any worth. Bringing in a player it's good to be done during preseason in such a team of young players to enable them blend in before season sets in properly.

Alonso is not unwilling to bring in the most prominent players in his squad, but he prefers a different approach by utilizing the quality of players evenly in every line to produce compact cooperation and build a relationship of mutual need for each other. Dependence on certain players will disrupt the stability of the team, other players will find it difficult to develop because they have to serve respected players.
Alonso is keen to retain the players who were successful last season and add some new faces as he looks to improve his squad after qualifying for the Champions League. Teamwork must always be maintained as it was done last season, the defeat to Leipzig must be overcome immediately so that the same incident does not happen again in a crucial game.

It is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand to dominate the Bundesliga again, Bayern Munich will face more challenges this season, because most likely the competition for the trophy will not only occur between them and Leverkusen. Leipzig surprisingly managed to break Leverkusen's unbeaten trend, this is a signal that there are other teams that also have the ability to disrupt the competition. I even hope Dortmund and Stuttgart can be directly involved in the intended competition, so that this season Bundesliga runs more competitively than previous seasons. Meanwhile, although many doubt Kompany, the fact is that the former Burnley manager has the best squad depth in the Bundesliga at this time, so that it can help make his job easier. Kompany is used to facing big teams in the Premier League, which we know is much more competitive. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to doubt Kompany when Bayern Munich plays in the Champions League, because this season is his first experience.

Bayer Leverkusen is one of the clubs that opponents fear in the Bundesliga. Not all clubs can beat Laverkusen easily because they were at the top of the standings last year with good performance. It would be really good, as you said, that Laverkusen should add several senior players and star players, especially strikers and defensive midfielders, so that they can be more confident of winning this season.
I don’t see anything wrong with this squad and they can still fo wondrous things also this season. Adding more senior players to the team will really help them but I don’t think it’s a necessity now that the league have started and they started on a good course. Bayern Leverkusen still remains one of the strong contender for the Bundesliga title this season and without putting that great performance together, they will not be able to keep that consistency of wining the league again. Many clubs should fear them but i don’t think they’ll get it easier as they did last season. The league just started but they can’t keep the unbeaten streak this season after losing their most recent match, that shows how tough this season is going to be for them.
They screaed to stand against Leverkusen because they saw the perfect performance from this team and the performance of Leverkusen during the last season was well enough which made this team unbeaten during the games they had in the Bundesliga. However they recently lost a game because of a comeback but still, Leverkusen is scary for any team in the Bundesliga.
I think Leverkusen fans also expect to see much better performance from them because they still want to see their team win the title at the end of the season.
All clubs that will be playing with them will take the match very serious in order to make sure that Leverkusen will not defeat them because they are now seen as a threat in the league. Xabi Alonso has more work to do because this season Leverkusen is playing in the champions league.
On the contrary, I think adding the so called star players would reduce the team efficiency by creating over dependence on those respected players. They have a good squad and I'll love them to keep on keeping up. Alonso is really doing a marvelous job with the boys. I think they're good to go. They did very well last season and I believe they can do really better this season. Over squad destroys a team and I don't want it to be the case with Leverkusen
Exactly my thought: bringing in a star player will affect the squad this season even if they get back their performance; it will be next season because right now the season has already started, and bringing in those players will take them time to develop their performances again. However, Alonso feels balanced and good with his current players, which is why he is not bringing in new players to the team; he knows that the current squad can still do it as they are still strong and in good shape. For Leverkusen's strength this season is still the same as last season, they are still strong but every team should have an increase in quality every season.
And it all comes back to trust, Xabi Alonso is the most trusted person now after his great success in building Leverkusen with what he had, so for this season too, everyone will continue to trust Xabi Alonso.

I think Bayer will have a completely different season, first of all because of the heavy workload on the players in the Champions League, to some extent because the Champions League will use a new format, which will increase the number of games. In the next round they will go to visit Hoffenheim, and after that the Champions League matches will begin, and we will have to see how the results in the Bundesliga can change from the end of September. It seems to me that Bayern is more accustomed to this regime, so they will cope with it better.

Everyone acknowledges how Xabi last season was able to bring Leverkusen to break the latest record throughout the season. But this season it seems like it will not be easy to maintain the unbeaten record. Even bookmakers favor Bayern Munich as the holder of the Bundesliga title this season because the performance of several other teams such as Dortmund and Munich is increasing. So Leverkusen will have difficulty in winning the title again this season and my prediction is that Bayern Munich will return to win the bundesliga title after losing dominance last season. There is no other choice but to fight for the runner up that Xabi must pursue.
Yes, Xabi Alonso's arrival at Leverkusen has had quite a significant impact. He was able to bring the club that was less favored last season to become undefeated and seize the throne of Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga is getting more competitive with the presence of new competitors. This season, Leverkusen could retain the trophy, although as you said it will be difficult because we all know that other competing clubs are also not sitting still with a number of new ammunition and the competition looks increasingly tight. Bayern Munich is no exception, they have shown good development under their new coach. The bookies provide opportunities according to the progress shown by each club. so it is natural that Munich is favored in this case. But it is still too early to judge all that, this is only week 2, the journey is still long. surprising things are still hidden ahead. It could be that Leverkusen and Munich are not the ones lifting the trophy this season. this is still a mystery, we just enjoy it. 
Anyway, I still can't believe the draw that Stuttgart got last week because they could have actually secured the win but unfortunately a mistake at the end of the match ruined it all. It really doesn't make sense where what was initially leading by 2 goals was immediately equalized by Mainz and not long after Stuttgart took the lead again but once again it seems that Stuttgart really made a fatal mistake.
I bet on this match and that's why I was quite emotional when I saw their game especially the defense that was easily penetrated by the away team was very inappropriate. Now I'm starting to be wary of betting on Stuttgart again and in the next match they will face Gladbach and of course this is a difficult match to predict considering Gladbach always presents surprises for anyone they will face. On the other hand, I am also increasingly doubtful that Stuttgart can compete again at the top and it will be an unexpected decline.

Ever since Leverkusen lost in the Europa League final, they have been constantly conceding a lot of goals and that is not a good sign. Most teams that become champions do so because they have a good defense, and at the end of the league they have not conceded more than 25 goals. In many cases they even end up conceding less than 10 goals. But look at Leverkusen:
1 - In all the friendly matches they have conceded a goal
2 - They have played 2 games in the Bundesliga, conceding at least 2 goals in each game
3 - They have only signed 1 defender this season: Jeanuël Belocian
https://www.transfermarkt.pt/bayer-04-leverkusen/startseite/verein/15
In just 2 games they conceded 5 goals. This number of goals conceded should be at least 10 or 15 games, normally for a team that is a candidate for the title. By this I mean that the Leverkusen coach has reason to be worried, because it is possible that they will not even finish in the 3rd position. This weak defense will also be a problem in European competitions.

This season, of course the competition is getting tougher and Bayer Leverkusen is impossible to show the same results as the record in the previous season, the teams that previously experienced a setback would definitely make improvements to the squad to be better and become a heavy competitor again, so this is very Naturally, especially this is a season that is still early for us to watch.
In another perspective, we don't know what Xabi Alonso planned with Bayer Leverkusen, whether he was testing a new strategy or what, because the previous season must have been predictable to be easily defeated, adding senior players or stars might be done But I think they are not ready with salaries that must be given with a large risk, because not necessarily also adding new experienced players will make them much better if they are not accompanied by the strategy needs made by the coach.
Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso last season, he has been quite successful in lifting the performance of this team with all the limitations that exist so that I think that there is indeed a match between the players and the tactics applied by Xabi Alonso so that they can display good performance.
For this season, it is also not much different compared to last season because Xabi Alonso did not make many changes, but regarding whether or not Leverkusen will be able to defend the title, I think it is regardless because Bayern Munich has also improved its performance and also several other top Bundesliga teams that are increasingly developing so that the competition for the title will be even fiercer.
And for the defeat experienced by Leverkusen last week, I think it will not be significant, in fact, the defeat could be a benchmark for Leverkusen to build its team much better in the future.

Bayer Leverkusen is an upcoming team with low experience and also low financial stability, so you can compare them with teams like Bayern Munich, PSG, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. This team is far more better than Bayer Leverkusen. So it will not be a small challenge for Xavi Alonso this season because the Champions League is not that easy compared to the Europe League; moreover, even last season that they played an unbeaten season, they ended up losing the trophy against Atalanta. I know Xavi Alonso will try his best, but it will not be easy for them to face these challenges, but at least I know they will try their possible best to see they do something tangible in the season.

If you’re going to predict on any top team in the league it shouldn’t be Dortmund, they are the most inconsistent club of recent times when it comes to the league football.
How many times have them be presented with wining the league and they ended up not winning.
Its true that that there was a lot of games in the past season or years that Dortmund was the favorite of the game and they played a draw or lost.How many times have them be presented with wining the league and they ended up not winning.
But there was also other teams like Bayern Munich and Leipzig that happend this also.
This game against Heidenheim is a very tricky game to me,
The game will be at Signal Iduna park which should be an added advantage for Dortmund but I have seen clubs take points off them at the stadium so i wouldn’t raise my hope high for them
I also agree that sometimes it means nothing for other teams to play at Dortmund , but its mostly a big advantage when Dortmund is playing at home.The game will be at Signal Iduna park which should be an added advantage for Dortmund but I have seen clubs take points off them at the stadium so i wouldn’t raise my hope high for them
Even HEidenheim has played there 2 games really good and won i will place my bet on Dortmund for that match to win.
After Xabi Alonso successfully led Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies, all teams now respect them and there is no longer the word "Neverkusen". Last week their unbeaten record in domestic competition was stopped by Leipzig, it was surprising and in reality it is not easy to continue to maintain the record. However, considering the journey is still very long, Leverkusen still has the potential to be able to defend the trophy this season, even though we currently know Bayern Munchen is more consistent. I predict Leverkusen will be able to rise in the next match, Xabi Alonso cool hand seems to still work well.
Meanwhile, the challenges faced by Xabi Alonso this season are certainly much tougher, because they will play in the Champions League, their journey there will certainly be very different from the Europa League last season. Xabi Alonso managerial quality will really be tested this season, to prove that their success last season was not just luck. With almost the same squad depth, Leverkusen will clearly be taken into account in any competition.
When other teams take you seriously, they play differently and that is why it makes it so hard to be a team like Bayern who dominates for a decade, because normally they all try to beat you, whereas they play each other more comfortably.Meanwhile, the challenges faced by Xabi Alonso this season are certainly much tougher, because they will play in the Champions League, their journey there will certainly be very different from the Europa League last season.

Leverkusen is learning that, there is a reason why certain teams end up winning the league all the time, why Bayern did it, why PSG is doing it and City is now doing it and why Real Madrid and Barcelona does it, because these teams are richer and bigger than every other club and even if they have a few bad seasons, they will have the means to recover. Teams like Leverkusen do not have that means, they can do great for one year, but the moment they become bad, they will be gone. Like Lille in France, or Leicester in England.

I don’t see anything wrong with this squad and they can still fo wondrous things also this season. Adding more senior players to the team will really help them but I don’t think it’s a necessity now that the league have started and they started on a good course. Bayern Leverkusen still remains one of the strong contender for the Bundesliga title this season and without putting that great performance together, they will not be able to keep that consistency of wining the league again. Many clubs should fear them but i don’t think they’ll get it easier as they did last season. The league just started but they can’t keep the unbeaten streak this season after losing their most recent match, that shows how tough this season is going to be for them.
Talking about adding more senior players, is it by age or by experience, I don't know which amongst the both you mean but if it's by agree then I can assure you it's not going to help them well enough as you may rather be putting, where they will get the most helpful would be with young players, I even think it's much better maintaining the team as it was last season that they got all they did vet than trying to remodel the team and end up loosing vital players or scattering the pattern that has already been created. They can do much better with their patterns than they would with the introduction of newer faces who will need more time to adapt.I think Leverkusen's defeat in the previous match is understandable because the opponent they faced was one of the tough clubs in the Bundesliga but in the next match against Hoffeinheim I predict Leverkusen will win.
