I am sure, Xabi Alonso is also ready with the bad results that might happen when extending his contract at that time but unfortunately, the defeat experienced occurred at home. But even so, at least Bayer Leverkusen still has good efforts and or performance because after all, in the two matches that have been played in fact Bayer Leverkusen always managed to score first by leading the match with a score of 2-0. But unfortunately, from the two matches that have been played it seems that Bayer Leverkusen is easy to turn around by the opposing team and thus, whether the problem is in the defense line or are Bayer Leverkusen satisfied with the score of 2-0.

Because after all, in the first match this season against Monchengladbach also in fact Monchengladbach managed to equalize the score to 2-2, but fortunately Bayer Leverkusen still managed to score a goal in injury time against Monchengladbach and was able to end the match with a score of 2-3. But in the home match against Leipzig, I think Bayer Leverkusen maybe satisfied quickly because after all, in reality the Leipzig coach also got a red card in that match.

Thus, Bayer Leverkusen might have felt like they would win after leading 2-0 because Leipzig was not accompanied by their head coach in that match, so Bayer Leverkusen let their guard down and Leipzig managed to get an epic comeback.

luck is another factor in a fight or match, the rest is how the team as a whole carries out its duties. plus, the coach's system and tactics are also a whole package of a team. talking about a team without experiencing defeat is an achievement that not necessarily most of the strong teams can achieve and break the record, I don't even know if Munich has ever achieved it. in the Premier League, I remember Arsenal at that time undefeated throughout the last season won the title under the guidance of Arsene Wanger. Leverkusen did it very epic last season, they were untouched by defeat in the Bundesliga. but what we should also consider, although Alonso is a smart tactician, even so, other team coaches will also study their systems and weaknesses. plus the consistency of each player cannot be guaranteed to always appear prime, especially in two seasons. besides, last season Leverkusen played without pressure and burden. this season, they are the defending champions who must maintain their performance. clearly, there is a difference between the previous season and this season. Speaking of the Leverkusen vs Leipzig match, Marco Rose is a coach who is very familiar with his team. Also, his tactics worked well when Leipzig was able to make a comeback.

Yes, no team do expect the result they usually get in their games, and same as Leverkusen, they never think of losing to RB Leipzig because they know how well they perform last season as they were able to defeat almost all the big teams in the Bundesliga and they never expect that their current team will not keep the same standard, but other teams went to buy some players that will give them more hope of competing strong against Leverkusen and they are now doing their best to defeat Leverkusen in their second League match of this season. If Alonso didn’t do well, with the Champions League and other cups, they can hardly win the title because Munich and Dortmund are looking serious and they want to take control.

Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany is looking like a team that is back to take their mantle of leadership in the Bundesliga, I trust the team’s performance and I trust the Kompany’s process that they can achieve greatness.

That's some huge work by Guardiola and Heynckes of course. But doing it with Bayern Munich is easier on paper. I don't mean everyone can do the same though, you know what I mean.

Leverkusen also has really good players but on paper they are still a less valuable team. But it all depends on having a strong team play.    I wish Xabi Alonso broke that record as well. It would be unforgettable...


Yeah a decent work done by Bayern Munich. Kane scored his first goal in the season too. I hope he scores more goals this season but this isn't the best start for that.    I really want him to break Lewandowski's 41-goal record in one season in this league...

By the way Heidenheim step forward these days. 2-0 and 4-0 wins in a row. Really impressive! I'm curious what they will do against bigger opponents.

So far Bayern Munich is still very perfect in achieving their victory like Leipzig and Heindeinheim at the moment, but this is still the beginning of the season so we cannot use it as a benchmark to ensure that the team will  achieve perfect results until the end of the season, the kompany has achieved positive results and gave Bayern Munich hope to make up for the bad results last season, but I think Bayern Munich current journey has not been tested because they have not faced a strong team in the league, as well as Leverkusen, who performed perfectly last season but start the season with badly after Leipzig destroyed them in yesterday match, but I think the journey in the Bundesliga this season will be quite tight and it will be difficult for us to predict considering the quality of several teams are now starting to be equal in the championship competition, Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Dortmund will of course be The team is strong in the competition for the trophy this season, but to say which team will be the champion in end season of course still difficult at this time.

Under the leadership of the new Coach in the person of kompany, we can only keep our eyes on Munich and hope only for the best but we cannot start been exactly particular about the final outcome of the season at this point because they are just getting back into a good shape. Probably by mid season we can give a perfect assertion as to what we can then be expecting from them and it's looking like they are building some levels of confidence for consistency this season and if that be the case, then they are doing just fine because that will earn them something really Nice of the season and the fate of the teams will be built strongly around kompany helping him gain more trust from the fans and the management.

Good things often come to an end and I bet you that Leverkusen didn't expect to be beaten by RB Leipzig, the team that Leverkusen utterly frustrated last season. I guess this is pay back and now Xabi will have to work doubly hard to ensure they get back to tip top shape and get back to winning ways because he would not want a situation where fans will begin to fidget and start doubting him.
 It's still quite early for them and they can bounce back but the question they need to ask themselves is will other clubs sit by and fold their hands while they do so because it's looking like Bayern Munich are coming back to reclaim what they lost.

But it is true that Bayer Munich had a very good start to the season with Kompany, because before the season started that Munich had a negative sentiment by coming to Kompany, because he had a bad history with Burnley, so naturally many people were amazed and said that Munich would make up for his sins.

Indeed, it is still early, Bayer Leverkusen still has many opportunities to improve its matches and become even better at collecting points, but I am quite looking at Bayer Leverkusen will not be like last season's unbeaten streak that made a long record.

Maybe Leverkusen was too sure that they would win this game with the 2 goals of leading at that stage.
Leipzig is never to be underestimated even when they are 1 or 2 goals back and they played very well the second halftime of the game.

Yeb sometimes a lose can activate some energy and ideas also specially when you havnt lost a game for so long as Leverkusen.
All the coming games are important in the race of the title again.

Augsburg is a middle team in the Bundesliga. Last season, they were in 11th position. Actually, that's not a bad position. Even from several H2H matches between the two, Augsburg was the one who dominated. So, when at the beginning of this season Heidenheim was able to slaughter Augsburg with a score of 4-0, it made Heidenheim very satisfied and proved that their performance at the beginning of this season was indeed much better than last season.

It's still hard to predict. If Dortmund play less optimally than the last match when they only drew against Werder, then Heidenheim might have a chance. But for sure, this might be a pretty tight match. However, I still believe that Dortmund will be leading, I don't think that they will make any more mistakes this time.

That Leipzig game was awesome. Two goals down was no problem for them. They flipped the script on Bayer. You gotta hand it to them, using counter-attacks against a possession-heavy team like Bayer? Thats smart football.

And of course, Bayern's sitting pretty now. Leverkusen dropping points gives them a nice cushion, and that mental edge is huge. But let's not count Leverkusen out just yet. Sometimes losing that "unbeaten" pressure can light a fire under a team. Their next few games will tell us a lot. If they can bounce back strong, that Bayern matchup could be a real showdown.

This is why we love the beautiful game. Its unpredictable, its exciting, and it keeps us on the edge of our seats. Leipzig just proved that anything can happen, and thats what makes it so great.

I am also waiting for that this season, namely about the consistency of a team like Bayern Munich under a new coach because the results of the two matches cannot be taken as a full assessment for this season, especially if in the middle of the season there is a team that is able to rise and beat Bayern Munich. Of course the assessment will also be different so it is true as you said that for now we don't need to make any assessment of a team even though we also have to monitor the condition of the team's strength this season.

This is still the beginning of Leverkusen's journey, there are still many matches to be played to catch up on points from Munich, the chances are still very big, defeat in the match against Leipzig will not affect Leverkusen as a strong candidate for the champion this season. on the other hand Munich can be said to have a good journey in two matches, but to prove that Kompany is able to show his consistency we have to see a more interesting match to look forward to later when the two champion candidates meet on the field, seeing the schedule they will meet in the 5th week of the Bundesliga and I look forward to this exciting match.

I think it's too early to say that and from the two matches that have passed we can't conclude anything about the real strength of a team.
Likewise for Bayern Munich's performance at the beginning of this season, I think we don't need to be too excessive about what they get because Bayern Munich's strength is indeed better than the opponents they face, but the extent to which their new coach is able to maintain the consistency of this team is something worth waiting for.

And regarding Leverkusen's defeat, I don't think it's that surprising because RB Leipzig is a strong Bundesliga team and even this season RB Leipzig has been able to perform much better than last season.
And also if we look at a little bit of what happened at the beginning of this season, it seems that this season's Bundesliga is much fiercer in the competition for the title compared to last season, I think that will be a good thing for the Bundesliga and all Bundesliga teams.

Bayern Munich, Heidenheim and RB Leipzig are the three German Bundesliga clubs that managed to win all first two games of the season and if you ask me, I think it's a sign that Vincent Kompany's team are geared up to make up for the club's poor outing of last season. Defending champions of the league Bayer Leverkusen did lose over the weekend which was their first loss in 35 games and are now three points behind Bayern Munich so do you think they can still catch up with Bayern Munich? Or do you think Bayern Munich's impress start to the season won't last for a long time?

Heidenheim performance in this match can be seen very well as his players have perform brilliantly and well, score 4 goals and not allowing a single goal to the opposition team.  This proves that this team is very strong and has good perform and speed.  And I was very impress with their match and I didn't predict this match.  But the way they were play it was clear that this match would be won.  If they perform like this in every match, every team will lose the match.  Because these teams play faster than their perform.  Congratulations to him for this win.  And on the other hand, their players have also work hard but not in such a way that they can win matches against them.  If they had won these matches, their glory would have been greater and higher than them.  But if it was due to luck and hard work they have also got victory and success.

Even if Bayer Leverkusen doesn't win the championship this year, I don't think their fans will be angry with them. Because they played so well last year and finished the season that the fans are in love with the team right now. I think they will finish the season as second even if they don't win the championship. However, the season has just started and they still have a chance to win the championship. Yes, they lost a game, but that's not the end of anything.

In the past we have seen how big teams such as Arsenal, Munich and Juventus which contain great players were able to create a  unbeaten record in their golden era, but what Leverkusen did last season is actually impossible for other teams to do today, Leverkusen managed mantain their unbeaten record with only makeshift players without any star players in their squad and it is clear It is an extraordinary achievement from a team that is considered a mid-table team in the Bundesliga, the achievement achieved by Leverkusen is nothing but the result of hard work and also the unyielding attitude that Alonso has continued to emphasize to his players so far, besides that the poor performance of Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the league is also undeniably the reason why they easily maintained the record last season, So I think there is a luck factor, but it is not the main factor that made Leverkusen able to be an unbeaten team last season as you said.

Bayern Leverkusen knew very well that at one point or the other that they were going to taste defeat in the league. For me I think it was very important that the defeat came very early, so that they will have enough time to organize themselves and shape their season. Yeah it's important that the burden of unbeaten has left them, so that they won't keep facing the media about the possibility of playing another unbeaten this season. Because every win that they would have recorded would have kept making people think that they are targeting another unbeaten run. Although I must say the truth, I never saw the Bayern Leverkusen loss coming, especially when they were leading by 2 goals and the time was almost running out. Bayern Leverkusen were the ones that always kept their winning very late last season, but this time around they drank from same cup to feel how painful it usually is, when you lose a match you thought you already got 3 points.

Luck is a slight factor that affects a teams success in situations as this actually it's not key but if need be, the key factor is mainly the teams abilities and strength especially when expectations and pressures on them are minimal, but if the reverse is the case, then the team may not be able to maintain such records and Bayer Leverkusen is a typical example as seen, they literally had almost no pressure also season, so very likely this occurs once in awhile and not often and it's difficult for a team to maintain it for more than once in a row, I have not seen that really happen in a long time.
