Yes, basically every team will experience changes for better or worse and one example that is now happening to Leverkusen, one that makes us surprised maybe because of their changes that are very fast and cannot be predicted before, honestly at first I thought that this was nothing more than luck for Leverkusen and although it was quite surprising but I was not so sure they could last long, just like Tottenham in the Premier League, this season they also surprised by being able to reach the top position but unfortunately it was just luck and as time went by they went back to decline, but with the fact that we see that this does not happen to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, it seems that Xabi Alonso has managed to apply the right formula to his squad so that it can be like now.

This scenario is indeed similar to what Arsenal experienced last season in the Premier League and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, both of which were unlucky enough to lose the goal of their struggle when the title was one step away. I honestly don't know if Leverkusen will also have the same fate as them at the end of the season, but on the other hand I haven't found any indication that Leverkusen will experience the same thing like that, on the other hand yes this season will be more interesting Bayern Munich will definitely be very worried about the threat from Leverkusen, for the results we will see later.

Well, we have seen that Leverkusen has a very good Performance because it is a team that is very well Integrated due to the great work of Xabi Alonso, what the Players have now is a great motivation, of course, everything is fine as long as he do not go to Madrid , because in many Actions he has stated that if Madrid needs him , then he will go , because it is known that it is his soul team, although I believe that he should stay in the German club, because it is giving a great shows that he is very good-natured, and that makes him grow in his career as a coach, this gives a lot to Talk about if a coach like him excels so much in a football as important and Privileged as German, where the level is very high due Because each time the teams increase their way of playing football , they are faster, stronger and use great tactics in their games, German Football is really very competitive , and we have not seen the full-throttle Performance of a Dortmund that It has us used to showing great football and a Union Berlin that at any time Demonstrates Everything it can give.

Xabi Alonso's rise to the helm of Real Madrid looms after great start at Bayer Leverkusen

Now that is the problem, if Xabi Alonso is willing to sign an agreement to go to Real Madrid then obviously I can't imagine how Leveskusen will fare in the Bundesliga while on the other hand they are in very good form this season. But on the other hand I don't think that's likely to happen, or that Xabi Alonso would be rash enough to consider it, and on the other hand there's no way he'd leave a team as successful as Leverkusen for the contribution he's made.

And also as we know with the increase in Leverkusen's performance which is very surprising in just a short time it makes a lot of praise coming to Xabi Alonso and indirectly it makes his career even more soaring. So the point is maybe Xabi Alonso will not decide to leave so quickly, after all he is also still quite new at Leverkusen but has been able to make this team experience dramatic changes, and also the management may not allow him to leave easily.

So, that is something quite strong, both for Leverkusen and for him, these days they played against Dormund and achieved a great draw, but Leverksen has an attack from start to finish, that is something that cannot be Could have Avoided it , they seemed to be in a game of only attack on the part of Dortmund , the Dortmund team scored a goal and Leverkusen had a great goal disallowed, but in the 2nd half the goal finally fell, it was very good, but Xabi Alonso I don't know, for him I think it's better to stay at Everkusen, he Already knows what that team is like, he knows how everything is, he also handles his players very well, he knows them very well and he can continue doing wonders, so far they are first class. place and that is a good thing, it has to Maintain its status , Bayern is a team that has a lot to give too and now things for them are looking tight, it is no longer Dortmund or Union Berlin, it also got into the Leverkusen Fights.

One of the things that characterizes Xabi Alonso is that things are like this when Real Madrid needs him because he will Come , of course Everything is in Madrid's hands if he wants to request it , I don't know if at this point things can happen like that, but I really would like him to stay at Leverkusen, because everyone needs him in that team, now if Leverkusen offers him more money it could be a precedent for him to stay , it all depends on the club, I have I'm starting to think that if of Leverkusen and make a better career , with more experience, throw yourself towards a team like Madrid, not just anything, it is something very difficult, one of the toughest challenges that has Always Existed, I Personally will always say that for anyone who reaches the Madrid will not be Difficult because it has great stars.

Xabi Alonso cool touch drastically changed Leverkusen performance, which has become a new force in the Bundesliga and even Europe. Borussia Dortmund managed to stop Leverkusen brilliant run, Leverkusen winning streak stopped after only being able to draw in the last match played. Leverkusen have still avoided defeat this season, they are still in top form and so far as has been shown in 13 Bundesliga games, Xabi Alonso's troops are still the strongest challenger to Bayern Munich in the title race this season.

Bundesliga could be resumed in this: Bayern Munich win all the time, they have always one competitor per season, whenever a team rise, another one drop between Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen mainly. There is a random team that pop-up a season then drop, this time it is Stuttgart.
Borussia Dortmund this round did a favour to Bayern Munich after slowing down Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen steps toward the title and allowed them to get the draw once they win vs epic fail Union Berlin.

Well this is the opportunity that Bayern has with the first place, it is one of the things that I can think that could come, with this match if Bayern wins it they will remain leaders, especially Bayer Leverkusen, it is the opportunity, now yes It remains a defeat for Munich, which seems to me to be a little far from reality and the possibilities of what will happen or could happen, since everything is in the possibilities, perhaps the pressure that Byaern has now is a lot, knowing that Leverkusen is doing so well, but of course, we have to remember that this team has a lot of experience, and they have great players, of course their greatest scorer for me is Kane, one of the players who plays best for me at the level. World Cup, and Bayern are at a good level right now, I like it because the Bundesliga is very exciting, until now everyone has very high expectations for Leverkusen, and this can assume that things can be in favor of LEVERKUSEN.

Now things when it comes to being the leader in the Bundesliga, it may be that Bayern takes the lead, although I know that many in Germany cross their fingers so that Bayern does not win, but it is something that is difficult, although many They want him to stay in second place and if that happens, Leverkusen has to win all the games they take revenge, they have to win everything, because Bayern will certainly not let them lose the lead, they know very well that they are going For everything, then it is time that not only Union Berlin, nor Dortmund, it is Leverkusen that is giving something to talk about, now they cannot say more that the Bundeliga is bored because things are looking even better and this is the Bundesliga, now there are many who are betting a lot on this league, I think they are all very excited and want more, so this type of thing is what many are now looking forward to in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen coach hints at strike partner for 'strong and technically excellent'

Quote

Alonso's preferred formation is 3-4-3, with Boniface playing centrally in attack, but he is considering tweaking his formation to accommodate the fit again Schick.

Schick has yet to make his starting debut this season, with all his four appearances coming from the bench.

"He had a good impact today, a lot of balls in the penalty area, good assist for Boniface," Alonso was quoted as saying by Sport1.

On paring Schick and Boniface in attack, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid star said: "Certainly a possibility” .

Bayer sports director Simon Rolfes added: "In the end, Boni and Patrik played together. That's definitely a variant because both are strong strikers.

"They are a little different in the way they create scoring opportunities, but both are also technically excellent. I'm really happy for Patrik."

Boniface is one of the first names on the team sheet, having started eighteen out of a possible 20 games since landing at Bayer Leverkusen from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer transfer window.
