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.
after Leverkusen had a successful start, many admired Xabi Alonso contribution as coach of this team. even though they dont know all this, not only from the coach, but I see very consistent cooperation between players who have succeeded in creating a very strong force to become part of Bayern Munich toughest challengers this season and take over Dortmund position, which last season was strongest team after Bayern Munich.
Maybe its time for Leverkusen to fight to get what they want continue trying to overtake Bayern Munich, even though its very impossible, but there are always surprises in football.
