Xabi applied very impressive tactics for Leverkusen. It is proven that Leverkusen is in the top (1st place) of Bundesliga standings. His tactics are also unique because he doesn't rely on the attackers only for scoring goals. In some matches, we can see that the goals were made by defenders and midfielders. But I think Xabi needs better attackers to make Leverkusen be more productive in scoring goals. I hope he is considering to sign top attackers in January transfer window.
The tactics applied by Xabi Alonso seem to want all players to have individual skills in scoring goals. Making whatever you want can create your own opportunities and this is quite unique in my opinion. Not many coaches emphasize plays like this anymore in football. Because what we see now is more emphasis on one central player who is the goal scorer. I really agree that this tactic needs to be developed by Xabi at Leverkusen so that it will create more stability in attacks from all directions and be able to fill the void if a striker is injured but his goal scoring effectiveness can still be demonstrated. Xabi Alonso plus point has made Leverkusen players have a high selling value from what they have achieved this season. The individual abilities that continue to be developed do not rule out the possibility that Leverkusen graduates will be highly sought after by big European teams.
