Last year, Alonso identified his opponents' weaknesses very well and developed tactics accordingly. He didn't just develop a tactic. This shows us that he is versatile. I am hopeful about Xabi. I also wonder if next year he will show us how long he can keep the record. They are still undefeated in official matches in Germany. Their only defeat was against Atalanta in the grand final.
Leverkusen's defeat in the grand final against Atalanta was very natural and normal even though the location was very painful for Leverkusen. However, for next season there are many fans who will again see how Alonso will spend another season with Leverkusen in a greater competition, namely the Champions League and also the Bundesliga, where Alonso will also be determined to maintain his unbeaten record in the Bundesliga next season again with conditions which is a bit heavy of course.
After the near perfect campaign of Bayer Leverkusen in the just concluded season, the club have attracted global attention to themselves and the expectations of the club fans and world football fans at large I think have significantly improved ahead of next season. For Bayer Leverkusen manager, he'll have to replicate the same performances and results he had with his team last season in the upcoming season before they can be considered as one of the strongest teams in the world. The club's defeat in hands of Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League final is a testament that they're very beatable and that's where Bayer Leverkusen's problem I think emanates from because a lot of clubs who'll face them next season will want to do what Atalanta did that earned them a win. Let's keep our fingers crossed and see how next season will pan out for Xabi Alonso and his Bayer Leverkusen team
