Before facing Stuttgart, Bayern Leverkusen will play DFB Pokal round of 16 against Bundesliga 2 teams Paderborn and Xabi Alonso will make many rotation for this match, have bad result on last match after draw against Dortmund and make points difference on current standings from Bayern Munich become three points left with Bayern have one match more than Leverkusen.
Stuttgart is strong teams with quit well performance in this season, they are on 3rd standings position awhile and have very good statistic won 10 of 13 Bundesliga matches, must be careful for Bayern Leverkusen how not loss points again if want keep in tittle race with Bayern Munich. Loss points on next match seems will give chance for Bayern Munich get their first standings back and Leverkusen have dropped to 2nd place.
At this point, Xabi will definitely have to make his preference before which he is going to apply his tactics and strategy for his players so as to still get desired results and maintain position in vital leagues where he really aims to get the best out of, that will be the only way to pull through this tight fixture while still maintaining relevance.
If Xabi is to use his full squad in every of these fixtures within this short period of time, he should be sure to have cases of fatigue and of cos which will result in their performance not been optimal as expected. Stuttgart will sure turn a hard nut to crack because they are currently in a good form which will require xabis team to be at their best if they must maintain their unbeaten record by the end of this match. It's important Xabi maintains the top position because any further drop of point will cost him his position and definitely reduce his chances of further clinging to the league title by the end of the season.
Xabi Alonso have done impressively well for Bayern Leverkusen so far and I must say that he has been a good manager and should he continue in this awesome performance for Bayern Leverkusen he will really be attracted by bigger clubs to sign him as their manager, he has done a great job for Bayern Leverkusen and I believe they may really be up to something this season.
He was an amazing coach. He was able to bring back leverkusen at the top position in bundesliga after it was almost being relegated last season due to the horrible performance under the old coach. I hope xabi will be going to the EPL.
Chelsea can start to eye him as a new coach which will be very good choice for the club. Chelsea is always struggling with the new coach and its performance never improve.
Chelsea is still in the same position right now and i expect pochettino to be sacked before the end of season. It's very important for Chelsea to get a new coach like xabi which was able to bring the club to go up again.
I think that even if Xabi Alonso leaves Leverkusen, it is likely that he will go to Real Madrid, especially since Real Madrid have long been targeting him as a replacement for Ancelotti, whose contract expires next season. Moreover, Xabi Alonso is a former Real Madrid player so he already knows Real Madrid's culture very well. Even though Chelsea are also looking at him, I'm not sure if Xabi Alonso will accept their offer.
I don't think Pochettino will be fired this season because Chelsea's target is not to win the title this season, especially after Chelsea overhauled the team on a large scale and Chelsea has a lot of young players with very little experience, so Pochettino's job is to build this team to be more solid first. so that next season Chelsea can compete for the title or at least be able to appear again in European competitions.
