Of course, I think you are not the only one who is so surprised by the speed of change experienced by Leverkusen that you say that this difference is like night and day if we compare them now and last season, I agree with that idea because clearly I think it is the same There was absolutely no previous indication shown by Leverkusen at the end of last season about changes this season.
Truly unexpectedly, Leverkusen management was not wrong in choosing a new coach to replace Gerardo Seoane, since the arrival of Their competitors are top class teams and are always favored by most people. On the other hand, to be honest, I just hope they can maintain their consistency until the end of the season because it will definitely be very interesting when we see a new, very strong team involved in hot competition to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
But it just came to my mind that we are talking about Bayer Leverkusen all the time and how that team was transformed into such a beast thanks to Xabi Alonso. But I wasn't expecting Stuttgart to play like this ever. I would have never thought they would be such a serious contender for the top four. Stuttgart finished last season in the relegation zone and only stayed in the Bundesliga thanks to winning in the play-offs!
But thanks to Stuttgart playing so well, Guirassy will be gone next summer. The discussion has already started a while ago.
