Xabi Alonso succeefull in placing Bayern Leverkusen in 1st place in the standing, but it is not certain whether Bayern Leverkusen will maintain this position without reducing points.
Since Xabi Alonso became manager, it seem that Bayern Leverkusen has experienc significant improvements and it will be a new start for Bayern Leverkusen to start this seasons by appearing impressive and maximizing their performance in the matches they will face in the Bundesliga this season.
Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen both performed well in yesterday match and are now competing for the Bundesliga title this seasons.

Yes, both clubs played their best game and Xabi Alonso showed his quality as Leverkusen coach and he seems to have a special strategy to be able to balance Munich's game so that getting a draw is good enough to share points with Munich and not lose full points, but even though they are at the top of the standings That won't make Leverkusen last long because Munich will always overshadow them to win the title this season.
It seems that Leverkusen will be the club that will compete for the title this season compared to Dortmund, but this is still at the start of the season. I hope Leverkusen remains consistent with the way they play and Xabi Alonso must really take advantage of the situation in order to organize all the players in the main squad to be able to Get points in every game.

I have watched every match of Leverkusen this season. This team is playing very well now. So far I can't find any weakness in the team. Xabi Alonso's match strategy is very good. And the players of the squad have been able to adapt themselves well to this strategy. This team is performing well in every match because of the strong bond between the players.
If Leverkusen had lost against Bayern Munich I would have said that this team did not deserve to win the title. But this team did a great performance against Bayern Munich. The match was drawn 2-2. And Leverkusen's performance was very strong. This team deserves to win the title. And I think Leverkusen will be able to perform consistently well this season with the help of Xabi Alonso.

My experience about football had thought me that not all great footballers ends up as great managers and that very few number of former great footballers ends as a great managers and I think Xabi Alonso with how he's transformed the Bayer Leverkusen team is destined to the league of former successful footballers who after their playing days ends up as very successful managers.
After watching Bayer Leverkusen play away at Bayern Munich on Friday night, it became very clear that Xabi Alonso if given all the necessary support he needs will succeed at the club and probably win a major trophy with his boys.

I agree with you. Not all star players make good coaches. And many who are not good players can become excellent coaches. I think a good player and a good coach are completely different.

Alonso has done a great job with Leverkusen no doubt. Last season Leverkusen's performance was not good. This team was in sixth place in the table. But their performance has been very strong since the first match of this season. And they proved their mettle with a good performance against Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga. And Alonso's Leverkusen played very well against them. I think Munich and Leverkusen will fight for the Bundesliga title this year.
