Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

That was probably too much for the people in charge at Bayer Leverkusen. After losing 0:2 against Porto in the Champignos League yesterday the media are saying that the current coach Gerardo Seoane will be sacked. It is not official yet but the media usually knows very well.
Xabi Alonso is being discussed as a possible new coach.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that Leverkusen coach Gerardo Seoane has to be sacked in the near future. A very clear reason if that really happened is their poor performance. In fact I can say that he is lucky enough to still survive until now. Being in the relegation zone is something very bad for a team like Leverkusen. Even recently I heard that Leverkusen had made an offer to Thomas Tuchel but got rejected.

Quite an expected decision. If in the Champions League the position of Bayer is still not critical (although they have to fight with Atlético and Porto for second place), then 17th place in the championship is a failure that cannot be forgiven. It is clear that Bayer will rise in the standings and not be relegated from the Bundesliga, but the distance to the top 4 is already such that it is unlikely that Bayer will get a place in the Champions League next year even if they start playing well right now.

now it's official - bayer leverkusen sacks Gerardo Seoane and immediately introduces his successor. with Xabi Alonso comes a coach who has been very successful at national team level, making spain world champions in 2010 and european champions in 2008 and 2012. most recently he coached the second team of real sociedad

Leverkusen's performance this season needs significant improvement and it's actually quite regrettable to continue to force Gerardo Seoane until this 8th game because they could actually speed things up so it doesn't get too bad on the result.
Xabi is one of the players who might be able to lift his performance because he already knows what the Bundesliga is like because he has experienced it before, although I'm not really sure they will return to the way they were before.

Congratulations to Xabi Alonso, this is his first job as a manager in the senior level, he was previously manager of Real Madrid under 14 team and Real Sociedad team B, so we can say he does not have too much experience as a manager, but it has to start from somewhere and he can build on this and set himself a good standard as a manager. He has a lot of work to do by the way, Bayern Leverkusen have only 5 points this season, and they are 17th in the table, he will feel he can do good and change their position to something better, and i wish him good luck.

Bayern Munich has corrected their poor stat to start of the season. Their two past matches (one for local league and the other for champions league), their performance was great. With the same energy, I believe that Bayern Munich will win Dortmund and claim the top spot on the table and one important thing to note is that if Bayern climbs to the top again, they may not step down again till the end of the season.

I hope that bayern will always be showing the good performance like that. I do like how bayern was playing from last two matches. It seems like bayern can continue this good trend. im sure that bayern can go back to the top position as soon as possible once bayern can consistently win against the next opponents. that's good to see how bayern has been starting to go back to the right track after it was going down.

It's only a matter of time, sooner or later Bayern Munich will again lead the standings. Now that Bayern Munich have managed to sit in third place, they have collected 15 points from 8 matches. Munich is very close to the leader of the table, two points difference is not so difficult to catch up with Union Berlin and Freiburg who are in position one and two.
There are still many games left in the Bundesliga, Munich will show who they really are. The dominance of Munich still cannot be broken by other teams, although currently they are still in third place, at the end of the season only Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga trophy.

Finally a series of bad results Leverkusen led to the sacking of their coach, Gerardo Seoane. Yes, the results achieved by Leverkusen are indeed very possible to end the collaboration with the coach, and today we saw that it really happened. Xabi Alonso comes with a very tough task and must improve the Leverkusen squad from every line, including improvements in the standings which are currently in the relegation zone. Xabi will start his work by laying the foundation for Leverkusen's game, I hope he can move quickly even though it's very difficult. But we'll see what Xabi will provide for this Bundesliga club.

I cannot say right now that Bayern Leverkusen has made a good decision as far as this decision goes. To be honest I have not seen him as a coach enough to say anything in my opinion.

Obviously, there are a lot of people saying a lot of things at the moment, but I will only be able to comment when I see the results that he will be able to bring. There will be a lot of talk now about the fact that he has never managed a major club before. Nevertheless, I believe he is going to be able to handle the situation well.

As a matter of fact, Xavi also didn't have any major managerial jobs until he became a manager at Barcelona. If we look at how he played in his Real Madrid days we will be able to see that he used his head a lot while playing. However, it is still going to be a very hard job to live up to the expectations set for us.

Xabi Alonso has no history with a team as a manager except Real Sociedad B. Therefore this is a quite big risk to take for Leverkusen.

They are in a really poor shape now and we see them at the second last position in the standings. The Bayern Munich loss was the tipping point for Leverkusen board. Let's see how good they will do with Xabi Alonso. Actually he played in the Bundesliga before for three seasons. Taking this into account he might be considered as experienced in this league. If he adapts to the players quickly then maybe things can go on well for him to help his team recover in the first half of the season.

Indeed this is still a risk but with Xabi there at least he can understand the Bundesliga because indeed he can also be said to be one of the players who made history when playing at Bayern and maybe this can be used as capital for him to improve Leverkusen.
At least even if he can't lift to his original position he must try his best to get out of the relegation zone.

Leverkusen already has a great player that Xabi Alonso has seen, and now he is trying to make that player very useful by changing his strategy for the better and possibly leading him to always win, at least Xabi now has to be able to work hard to change it. all strategies of Leverkusenn

But indeed so far I have not seen what Xabi's performance in coaching looks like so this can indeed be a risk in my opinion.
But indeed with this there is another hope that can be seen for the continuation of Leverkusen and at least for this season the target to keep them away from Depdrasi is clearly important because indeed they currently still seem to be struggling with it.

Media was always spreading hot news like that. calling any coach will be sacked after the team doesn't get a good result from the match. I just wanna know how long media will always be using word of sacked to create the news about that.
he may got another chance again from management. Sacking the coach once team was facing lose is not so good.

[blue Snow]

Xabi Alonso has no history with a team as a manager except Real Sociedad B. Therefore this is a quite big risk to take for Leverkusen.

Yes, I think so, I thought Tuchel who is very credible in managing a big team is potential for that position. but now, we can't say anything. maybe they want Xabi because his popularity, not as an achievement as a coach, because he hasn't. But we must be optimistic, Xabi is one who has talent like his partner on the national team Xavi. Maybe like Xavi's situation where moving to an unknown club can rise up Leverkusen from the degradation zone.

[LUCKMCFLY]

my claim is that the worse or less convincing bayern munich plays forward, the louder the call for a new top/world class striker. and since there were already rumors about Harry Kane (tottenham) this summer, i see him as the number #1 bayern would be interested in.

They have to spend Extra money for this player.
Apart from his contract which is still quite long, Kane is also now starting to recover the form he lost last season so I think Conte will hold on to this hard.
But if you look at Bayern's current condition, it's clear they need a new striker. At the moment Bayern's condition is not very good although I really like things like this but it's clear the top brass will find new ways to get their performance back to their original shape and of course new strikers are needed to maintain their current hegemony.

They won't be able to get new strikers until the winter, during the transfer window. As much as they are giving up their positions now, but so far so good, except for the striker position. The only hope now is that they just make it to this transfer window and not fall even lower in the table. It's been a long time since I've seen Bayern this low...

I'm not too surprise by Bayern's current position, yeah even though it's been a long time. But I still believe Bayern have a chance to push back to the top spot in the standings
I was surprise to see Union Berlin, never thought they would be the rulers of the Bundesliga until this 7th week.
A club that was not even able to qualify for the UCL and had difficulty reaching the Europa League qualification last season, due to resistance from Köln, and Freiburg

You can't doubt it, Bayern will surely be in the top positions, and yes, in a while they will be the first, only now the team is not very solid, I don't know what internal problems they have, but it has been shown that the great teams that they are very favorites in any title they can be very susceptible to any eventuality of a personal nature, take the example of the MU with CR7, and almost all the teams have done similar things, but from one moment to another these teams wake up and position themselves, that's what eu It has always been demonstrated, plus Bayern is one of the most favorite teams to win the UCL, which is not going badly for them.

Xabi Alonso has no history with a team as a manager except Real Sociedad B. Therefore this is a quite big risk to take for Leverkusen.

They are in a really poor shape now and we see them at the second last position in the standings. The Bayern Munich loss was the tipping point for Leverkusen board.

If he adapts to the players quickly then maybe things can go on well for him to help his team recover in the first half of the season.

Well the news is not so bad, I really like that Xabi Alonso can have this opportunity as technical director, the bad thing is that he is taking on a Leverkusen with enough problems in the Bundesliga, almost for relegation, hopefully Xabi Alonso can have cunning enough to be able to take a team like this forward, it's not easy, they have to be in total harmony with their players, it is also necessary to point out that in order for them to take the team out they have to pay attention to everything that Xabi can send them, because if they don't want to go downhill they have to do something similar, well they're on time and they have a very good chance.

Indeed this is still a risk but with Xabi there at least he can understand the Bundesliga because indeed he can also be said to be one of the players who made history when playing at Bayern and maybe this can be used as capital for him to improve Leverkusen.
At least even if he can't lift to his original position he must try his best to get out of the relegation zone.

Well we have to put something in context, Xabi Alonso's career was very good when he was a player, above all he showed a lot of discipline when he played for Real Madrid. He was a very tactical player and he appeared at times when they had to be very cold-blooded and where they needed to do things where there was no room for mistakes, for me this has a lot to do with his personality, perhaps that experience is what should lead the Leverkusen players, the only way I see that they can move the team forward is that they can have a lot of discipline and stick to everything that Xabi tells them, the relegation line is there, they must save themselves from falling completely.


For those who are following the news about Leipzig, this report is useful information, especially for speculation:

Nkunku's release clause only applies to clubs outside of Germany

It's now clear that Christopher Nkunku completed a secret medical with Chelsea before a potential transfer next summer. Bild reports that the €60 million release clause in his contract, which was incorporated into his Leipzig extension this summer, is only valid for a move to a club outside of Germany.

After Leipzig's successful game, all the information and reports focus on this team as well.

that's better than still using old coach which is not able giving out all of best performance from leverkusen's player. Leverkusen was in relegation zone along with champion league which is at the third place of group. The management must take such decision caused by leverkusen may not able to play in the champion league again for the next season caused by it's very hard to enter into the top 4. The chance is almost zero for leverkusen to be able to enter in the top 4

I haven't really seen him lately and don't know how tactical he must have been all through this while but I do hope and wish him all the best of luck @Bayern Leverkusen.
The coach should have been shown the exit door a week or two ago, if they don't, they should have found themselves in damnation striving to climb the ladder outta the red zones.

Good new for Xavi Alonso, he is a pretty decent Midfielder, hopefully he inculcates that into his new squad especially the midfielder's.

Yes, I am also not sure if this decision was right. We do not know why the people in charge decided in his favour. But everyone needs their first chance at some point and we should look at his performance for some time before we can make a judgement. Anyway, I am happy to see Xabi in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen next game is against Schalke. Schalke is also in trouble and will probably play against relegation for a long time.

It's only a matter of time, sooner or later Bayern Munich will again lead the standings. Now that Bayern Munich have managed to sit in third place, they have collected 15 points from 8 matches. Munich is very close to the leader of the table, two points difference is not so difficult to catch up with Union Berlin and Freiburg who are in position one and two.
There are still many games left in the Bundesliga, Munich will show who they really are. The dominance of Munich still cannot be broken by other teams, although currently they are still in third place, at the end of the season only Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga trophy.

Yes, we agree on this. it is only a matter of time for Bayern to return to the top of the table, Nagelsmann has returned his squad to its former form. in the last two matches they were able to create 9 goals, and 5 of them came from a win over Viktoria in the champions league. only two points difference with Union Berlin and Freiburg, it is not something difficult for Bayern to catch up with them.
next week, an important game for Bayern and of course for Dortmund too. they have the same points, it's interesting, this game will present high tension.
