After their failure in the UEFA Europa League, in the end, Bayer Leverkusen won the DFB-Pokal. Congratulations to those who have finally held 2 medals this season.
Bayer Leverkusen can win all the domestic competitions at least. So, they never got a defeat in all domestic matches during this season. It is also a good record, only very limited teams that can do this record. Leverkusen won 2 trophies, it is cool achievement for a new rising team like Leverkusen. It is quite good for them. Congratulations!! 
Although in fact, it was quite worrying when Odilon got the red card only in the 44th minute, the first half. This is quite scary because Bayer Leverkusen only plays with 10 people. but fortunately they had scored 1 goal first so they were able to handle it quite well. This time the strategy implemented by Xabi was very suitable. Ahh, I remember again about how they played in the Europa League.
Again, Xabi Alonso never stopped to do an experiment in using substitution player in a very crucial match. It is lucky that they don't play against a strong team in DFB Pokal final. If they play against Bayern Munich or Dortmund, I think Bayer Leverkusen will fail to win the trophy of DFB Pokal, too. To be honest, I don't understand why Xabi Alonso put Odilon as a starter in this final match. They still have Josip Stanisic and Piero Hincapié who have more experience in playing this season. Why Xabi prefer to use Odilon? I think Xabi doesn't use a suitable strategy. It is another wrong tactic, he must avoid this in the next season.
