The first half of the season is over and yes, the truth is that we have to admit that this season Bayer Leverkusen is really better than Bayern Munich. With Bayer Leverkusen's success in the first half of the season then yes, it is at least feasible for Bayer Leverkusen to remain at the top of the Bundesliga standings this season until the end of the season. Indeed, I also realize that any result can still happen because yes, at least there is still a second half of the season which Bayern Munich will certainly be able to put pressure on.
But anyway, right now they have a 4-point gap and yes, even though it's still a close points gap. But I think, if Bayer Leverkusen manages to maintain this great trend then yes, it will certainly remain difficult for Bayer Munich to be able to take over the top position . But yes, let's wait, whether Bayer Leverkusen will experience the same bad luck as Dortmund last season or not. But somehow I am very sure, that Bayer Leverkusen are very worthy of getting the trophy this season.
Bayern Leverkusen has been one wonder to watch in Europe especially in the Bundesliga and the Europa League amd credits must be given to Xabi Alonso and the players form especially how they’ve been able to maintain over a period of time. Now it’s half the season and they’ve been able to still remain top that’s a big boost to them as they head into the 2nd half of the season. Maintain the position and their form and they’ll be off the run and away with the league title
I don’t think this Bayern Leverkusen side will experience the same badluck like Dortmund especially when you watch them play you feel the difference, their strategy is very different and uneasy for other teams to understand yet that's why they're so invisible lately and I believe they'll still remain consistent for a while.
Looking at the depth of Leverkusen squad this season, of course Leverkusen has quite high quality players like Xhaka and his presence in every match makes Leverkusen game even better this season where they have never lost this season.
For Xabi Alonso, they want to be the best and make history this season so their ambition is to get 3 points in every match. Boniface he also found his best form in his first season with Leverkusen because so far he has scored 10 goals in 16 Bundesliga match. The increasing quality of the players will of course make it easier for Xabi Alonso to formulate strategies in every match they play.
In yesterday match, Leverkusen feasted on goals by scoring 4 goals against Bochum. Leverkusen won match after match, which made them put even more pressure on the defending champions this season. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen have also performed well in the European league this season. Well, if Bayern munich can bring home the UCL trophy to the Bundesliga and Leverkusen can also bring the European League trophy home to the Bundesliga then the Bundesliga teams will be highly regarded by other teams when facing them. Maybe this season they have a big opportunity to do that and if they succeed then the name of the Bundesliga will soar to become the best league this season compared to other leagues.
They have a good squad but not the depth you just said.... They don't have a good depth, they see like two to three of them key players go Injured and they'll struggle heavily. This is the reason why I be advocating for additional players during the upcoming transfer window. The games ahead would be intensed and difficult. Having two to three players in the current squad will make lots of sense. After all of these achievement in the first half of the season, it'll be hurting to see them go without winning nothing this season.
Congratulations to Victor Boniface who won the rookie of the year award once again. He has seen his best form at Bayern Leverkusen honestly, he has scored more goals than he has ever done in all of his career.
