It would be inappropriate for anyone to blame a coach like Xabi Alonso who has looked after and brought the Leverkusen team to an even more extraordinary level this season. Because Leverkusen has also succeeded in winning two trophies this season even though they lost at the wrong time in the final match of the Europa League this season. And I think people who are willing to blame Xabi Alonso just because Leverkusen lost the final match are people who don't understand the pressure that Xabi Alonso is under and maybe also don't understand how football works for all teams including Leverkusen.
It doesn't make sense if there are people who blame Xabi Alonso. People can feel unsatisfied with Xabi Alonso because Leverkusen failed to win Europa league trophy. But it is true that Leverkusen could win 2 trophies in German domestic competition (Bundesliga trophy and DFB Pokal trophy). Leverkusen even made a record in domestic competition this season, they are unbeaten in the whole season.

For the Europa League trophy, Leverkusen may be unlucky because they choose the wrong strategy. It will be a good lesson for Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen players, they must always remember to choose the right players on the starting lineup. In the final Europa league this season, Xabi Alonso used inappropriate starting lineup. So, the game of Leverkusen can't be effective, they got a difficulty to score goals.



Let us just be realistic, everyone has been praising Xavi Alonso right from the beginning of the season till today. We have praised him enough for being young and extraordinary this season. We have also praised him for being able to deny Bayern Munich what seems to be their birth right for more than a decade. Since the beginning of the season him and his boys  have been receiving a lot of praises. So why do you expect him not to be criticized when he lost to a less favorite club three goals without scoring one. When you do something that is deserving of praise, would actually be praised. But one and undesirable result comes, you will also be criticized. The criticism does not actually mean that Xavi Alonso is not a good coach. In general he is to me the best coach in this season and that is it because the statistics are there to judge but then he is not above mistake as I think he made a mistake in the finals.
