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.
I think Bayer Leverkusen start this season shouldn't be seen as a slow start because they lost their last match at home, they made a terrible mistake losing from 2:0 to 2:3 when they had opportunity of winning game but that shouldn't be seen as a problem unless they make the same mistake in their next game. Xabi Alonso should be prepared to make an adjustment and improve the performance of his team in doing his he should motivate his team to face the task ahead since they will be playing in the champions league and defending their league title would be the most important thing for them to do this season since the league is looking so difficult already.
Which how the Bundesliga league is going, I don't think Bayern Leverkusen can win the trophy anymore because that losing of three points will make them weak, and I'm seeing that Bayern Munich will be the favorite of winning the title this season because they're doing well and winning their matches, and I think the new coach will do like Xavi Alonso, he won't lose points, he'll go unbeaten without losing any points in the league, and I'm sure he can do that. Let's see how the competition will end up and see who will get the opportunity and win the title.
I'm rooting for Munich to win the league this season because Harry Kane hasn't won a trophy yet, so I want him to realize his dream this season and probably fight for the Champions League as well, but it won't be an easy task for them to win the Champions League because with the new ropes they've put in place, they'll face other clubs in another league who haven't had the opportunity to play before, and they'll put in more effort to achieve their goals without losing matches. So I feel Bayern Munich can win the season, and Harry Kane will be the leading goal scorer if he performs well this season.
