Xabi Alonso has transformed their style of play and instilled a winning mentality into Bayer Leverkusen squad. This is a significant impact from a manager to any team need . Their recent success in the Europa League is a testament to his coaching abilities. It will indeed be an intriguing matchup when they face Liverpool, Alonso's former club, in the Europa League.
Xabi Alanso will be the best coach in the future, how could it not be that during his time at Levekusen he has made this team strong and has a winning mentality as you said, the impact of his presence at Levekusen is very significant. Even Xabi Alonso made a nightmare come true for opponents Bayer Leverkusen. With twelve matches without defeat, they created terror in the Bundesliga and even Europe.
I agree with you. I don't think the Leverkusen team is very strong. Leverkusen is a mediocre team. Yet the way the team has maintained consistency is admirable. And it was possible because of Xabi Alanso. He is an excellent coach. He has been able to create a strong bond between the team players. The players are also confident in every match. That's why we consistently see better performances from Leverkusen in every match. And even with a mediocre squad, the team is still managing to score a lot of goals. They scored 37 goals in 12 matches and won 11 matches. The team shares points with only Bayern Munich. Xabi Alanso has made it even harder for Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga this season.
Everyone especially the Bundesliga fans will definitely be very surprised by the arrival of Leverkusen with its unusual performance, to be honest I never expected or even never found an indication that this team will be very extraordinary team this season, one of the reasons that makes us surprised is that last season there was no impression of anything from them in the competition, in 34 matches they could only win 14 wins 8 draws and 12 defeats, the difference between winning and losing was very thin last season, that's what makes me or maybe some people surprised when seeing this season they are very extraordinary.
Honestly I really didn't expect that Xabi Alonso would be able to make changes this quickly to the squad, I think it's too fast and unexpected. How is it possible that in the difference of one season Xabi Alonso can make his team's performance, especially in terms of consistency, become very strong, even a team like Bayern Munich I see they are quite overwhelmed to catch up with Leverkusen. On the other hand, of course this is a big threat to Tuchel's squad because in the few weeks that Leverkusen controlled the top they did not make any mistakes or even slipped in an unfavorable match. So I think maybe we will only know about who is stronger when we enter the final phase of the season.
