Teams like Leverkusen will usually experience difficulties when entering the second half of the season. Because teams with unpopular players usually have difficulty rotating their players to maintain game consistency. But what Leverkusen did was extraordinary. They are able to become an unbeatable team this season. Munich is still chasing points. I think the meeting of the two teams will determine who will be champion at the end of the season. Of course this will be a big pressure for Munich because they are the ones who are required to win.
Leverkusen is quite aware that they don't have very popular players in the current squad, but this certainly won't be a serious problem for them as long as the coach is able to manage it well enough. Apart from that, Leverkusen can still make very specific priorities this season regarding what trophies they will fight for. So the focus can be further enlarged in that direction because this season Leverkusen will also have another busy schedule when the European League starts again this month.
Season is interesting for Leverkusen. Focusing on teamwork over stardom may benefit them. Like their performance against stronger clubs, Leverkusen's strength has been their teamwork. This teamwork may make them a competitive force, especially in the European League. We agree on the coach's role. I'm fascinated by Leverkusen's season without star power. Their coach's priorities of team strength and trophies are smart. To play to your strengths, Leverkusen seems to be doing that
