Bayer Leverkusen have had an underwhelming start to the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign, and it's a sign that they're going to struggle this season. I know no team can stay undefeated forever, but I think Bayer Leverkusen's way of playing is problematic. If they do not quickly regain their form and improve their weaknesses, Leverkusen will find it difficult to defend their "throne" in Germany against the return of Bayern Munich. Besides Bayern vs Leverkusen, Dortmund vs RB Leipzig are also qualified to compete for the Bundesliga championship. Therefore, this year's season will be very interesting.
However, the fact that Bayer Leverkusen's leadership succeeded in retaining "chief architect" Xabi Alonso, as well as not losing any stars in the main squad, is the basis for fans of this team to hope to defend the Bundesliga championship.
I agree Bayer Leverkusen slow start to season is worrying but I don't think they are out of running yet. Their way of playing has some problems but they have good team and smart coach Xabi Alonso. It is good that they kept Alonso and their best players. But they need to fix their weaknesses fast to keep up with strong teams like Bayern Munich and others. Bundesliga is always tough and this season will be very exciting. Leverkusen fans have reason to be hopeful but team needs to play better to keep their title. It is too early to give up on them but they need to improve soon.
It seems that this season will be very interesting to watch because Leverkusen acts like a club that has difficulty maintaining its consistency, this will make Bayern Munich feel at an advantage, they still have a chance to win the title again because their main competitors are having a little problem, Bayern Munich should not waste this opportunity. Dortmund and Leipzig also seem to have shown good improvement this season, maybe they will compete for the top of the standings.
It is still too early to talk about the Bundesliga title because we still have to see many matches that will be played Xabi Alonso has also started to get used to the competitive components in the Bundesliga competition while Vincent Kompany still has a lot to learn and adapt to prove his ability in coaching the big club Bayern Munich..
