As in the last season, we thought that Leverkusen would not get into this kind of a team right now, but Xavi Alonso made that possible and you are right with your explanation about it Alonso revolutionized this team very differently and it worked, if he can do it with Leverkusen and he only needed 1 season then it is really working perfectly for Leverkusen right now, actually because of this I really want to see more of Xavi Alonso doing it with another team, if this is just a coincidence with the Leverkusen of Xavi Alonso was the real talent behind it all,
since last season I thought there was something different with Leverkusen after Xabi served as coach there and at the start of this season I also felt the same thing if Leverkusen had a strong and consistent performance without being defeated and to this day is still at the top of standings without defeat and I also saw an interesting strategy from Xabi, he can always provide a defensive strategy if he is unable to beat his opponent and hold the score to a draw.
maybe we have to patiently wait until Xabi succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to higher level with several titles and if this is successful it looks like Xabi needs new experience moving to another team to be able to get same results and if successful Xabi will be another talented coach.
