Leverkusen may have had a flaw in their plans or they may not have performed as planned. How do you see Leverkusen losing by a wide margin in the final? Granted that a lesser team can beat a bigger team in the finals, and I also accept that anything untoward can happen in the finals, so how come the favorites lose by such a huge margin against the other teams in the finals. Leverkusen conceded three goals in contrast they failed to score a goal here but they looked like a very weak team. If they also take extra pressure thinking that it's the final match of a big tournament and if they get nervous then I definitely don't consider the players as professional players.
What Leversekun plans are different from what the results come out with. Nobody expected that Leversekun was going to receive so much pressure from Atlanta with their strong performance right from the beginning of this season. After the intensity they put in, they prevented any of their opponents from defeating them in every match, and everyone was proud of them for being unbeatable this season. But they were disappointed by being given Atlanta opportunities to win them in the final stage, but Shal, I can't blame them. That's all about football, someday's you win and someday's you most lose, so I'm still proud of them for keeping a big record this season. I think next season they may perform better than this season.
What bayern Leverkusen has achieve is something that is unbelievable and it's going to take a whole lot of hard work for them to actually replicate this kind of performance again next season and that's where the entire team should be focus on now not that one final defeat to Atlanta, of which everyone understood is a final and never really expected Atlanta to hand the title over just like that without a fight.
It teaches Xabi Alonso how to properly handle the club when Leverkusen faces a team similar to Atalanta used the man on man marking strategy. Gasperini's strategy was to the point and it was isolating its opponent. He was also impeding the movement of the Leverkusen players by marking them one on one and i totally aware about how hard leverkusen to rebuild from the bottom. Sometimes the defenders of leverkusen are feeling panic.
I believe that Xabi Alonso must be patient because now is not their momen to win europa league this season. Leverkusen and atalanta will be facing again in the UCL soon. Atalanta managed to steal the Europa League from them, which is a wonderful thing after gasperini spent 7 years without a trophy on atalanta. It broke all of the forecasts that Leverkusen would win the game.
Gasperini's smart decision-making has helped Atalanta win the Europa League this season. Xabi Alonso has to learn more about Italian football.
There are many Italian clubs with mixed formations, such as Atalanta. It teaches Xabi an excellent lesson.
