Just like i said before this is first test for Leverkusen to testing their consistency because Bayern Munich is the strongest team in Bundesliga especially they were playing at Allianz Arena which is one of the most dangerous places in this competition because Bayern Munich always be performing well at there and after seeing this result Leverkusen has proven that they have good mentally because they never give up to fight until the match ended and apparently besides build solid squad Xabi Alonso also has been successfully to make Leverkusen players mentally much better and if Leverkusen can able to maintain their performance at least until half of season i think they deserved to called as strong contender for Bayern Munich for the title
To be precise, Xabi Alonso succeeded in raising the players mentality, so that they were able to compete with Thomas Tuchel squad. It must be admitted that Bayern Munchen is very tough when playing in front of their own supporters, holding to a draw is enough I think. Even though for Tuchel this result is a setback for his team from winning the top of the standings, the fact that Laverkusen is on fire cannot be avoided. I think Xabi Alonso strategy of taking a personal approach with his players is the real key. In that way, it reminds me of Pep Guardiola approach at Man City.
Laverkusen best chance to win the Bundesliga trophy from Munchen dominance is very big this season, but Xabi must be able to beat another strong team namely Dortmund. If successful, their chances will increase, and Laverkusen management is taking good steps to extend Xabi Alonso contract there.
