Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso has improved significantly. Their field plan is obvious and successful, showing a significant leap that can challenge any opponent. I'm in awe watching them dominate, especially after their Mainz win. The show is delightful
The cognitive dissonance of their consistency in maintaining this winning streak bothers me too. Although they lead Bayern Munich by points, Xabi Alonso's potential departure to Real Madrid next season complicates matters. Will Leverkusen's performance surge be short-lived? This season could be their golden chance to win the Bundesliga, thus we should root for them
Xabi Alonso's plan to move to Real Madrid is next season and I think for this season Xabi Alonso will do his best with Leverkusen.
The improvement in the performance of the Leverkusen team has actually been visible since the arrival of Xabi Alonso in the middle of last season and I see that this is quite consistent so it is very possible for Leverkusen to be able to compete fiercely in the top flight of the Bundesliga this season and also when you look at Bayern's strength which is still able to be matched, it makes Leverkusen's possibility of winning the Bundesliga title and breaking Bayern's dominance is quite wide open this season.
