Last season we saw the difference in competition in the Bundesliga because several Bundesliga teams were able to advance stronger so that they competed with Bayern Munich and even Leverkusen managed to break Bayern's dominance to win the Bundesliga title.
So it is the same for next season, the same thing is likely to happen regardless of who wins the Bundesliga title later but what is certain is that the fierce competition for it will happen again.
And a lot of talk about Vincent Kompany I think is reasonable because currently some people are optimistic about Vincent Kompany and some doubt Vincent Kompany to be able to make Bayern better next season.
So Vincent Kompany's role with Bayern next season will be quite anticipated by many people.
It must be admitted, Leverkusen performed very well last season and managed to break the record as the team that was undefeated in the Bundesliga for one season. Bayern Munich failure to maintain its dominance was due to the decline in performance experienced by its squad, they easily lost points when playing against other big teams.
This season the competition will continue because Leverkusen still retains the players who won the trophy last season, while Bayern Munich is trying to get out of their declining performance by bringing in new players and changing coaches. Kompany has a big responsibility in his first season in charge of Munich, his task is not easy because he has to compete with a team that was able to maintain its best performance last season.
For the first time in Bundesliga history, Leverkusen next season has a mission to defend the trophy, and at the same time Bayern Munchen is ambitious to win it back after being the permanent ruler for more than a decade. The competition for the trophy will be even more competitive if Stuttgart, Leipzig and Dortmund are directly involved, making the challenge even more complex. Therefore, I think next season is a moment that many Bundesliga lovers are looking forward to, regardless of who will be the champion at the end of the season.
When I saw Leverkusen successfully retaining a number of its important players from the temptation of the transfer window, I personally think their chances of defending the trophy are quite high. This certainly does not mean to underestimate other Bundesliga contestants, we know Bayern Munchen are the real rulers there. Indeed, repeating the unbeaten record is very difficult, but it seems that their luck will continue because of the Xabi Alonso factor. Kompany must work harder than imagined, because the expectations for Bayern Munchen are not only in the Bundesliga, but also in the Champions League.
