Leverkusen has certainly proven to be one of the best teams this season and are currently at the top of the table in the German league. Last season we saw that this team was not in that good form, but in the current season they have come in great form, and they have won every match in a remarkable way. Leverkusen is the only team to have not lost a match against the opposition so far this season. Coach Xabi has come to Leverkusen this season and has been providing great mentorship to the players, which has led them to an unbeaten side so far. However, with the excellent performance this team has started this season, we think they have the potential to win the Bundesliga and they can.
It is like day and night if you compare Leverkusen after 16 gamedays from last season to this season. They are better this season in every regard. It's a totally different team and I like how Alonso discovered some new names that are now among the best players in the Bundesliga. In my opinion this is one of the best qualities a coach can have. Build a team with reasonable financial scope and disvover players that can rise within no time and compete with the best of the best.
Of course, I don't think you're the only one who's been so surprised by the speed of Leverkusen's turnaround that you say it's like night and day if we compare them this season and last season, I agree with that idea because obviously I don't think there was any indication at all at the end of last season that Leverkusen were going to change this season.
Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso Leverkusen has really undergone a significant change especially this season by creating depth and consistency that is very good and not easily broken even though their competitors are top-class teams and are always favored by most people. On the other hand, I honestly just hope they can maintain their consistency until the end of the season because it will definitely be very interesting when we see a very strong new team involved in the hot competition to break the dominance of Bayern Munich.
