Unquestionably, Xabi Alonso has had a significant impact on Bayer Leverkusen, creating in the group a vital feeling of coherence and consistency. They have risen to the top of the Bundesliga standings thanks to their cohesion, and their recent game against Bayern Munich demonstrated their exceptional football ability. Due of Leverkusen continuous constancy and tenacity in this intensely contested league, Bayern Munich may have a hard task in winning the title. With Xabi Alonso at the helm Bayer Leverkusen appears to be in for an outstanding campaign and their recent results raise the possibility that they are about to make football history.
I think if Xabi Alonso squad were not hit by a storm of injuries, they would be one of the strong challengers for Bayern Munchen. The results of the meeting with Munchen at the Alianz Arena added to everyone confidence that Xabi squad is indeed quite tough this season. Dortmund will be one of the big clubs that they will have to face in the future, if they succeed in beating them then Munchen will have to be really alert.
Laverkusen next match in the Europa League against Hacken will be a place to prove Xabi in Europe second caste competition. I think Laverkusen will be able to win Group H easily, a draw against Munchen will be a source of confidence for Xabi squad.
