Bayer Leverkusen going for another unbeatable season record isn't going to be an easy one but their chances of lifting the trophy back to back is still on the high side with Xabi Alonso still as their manager. Especially now that Bayern Munich who the very team have a tight competition with them has a new manager in place which I don't see the possibility of Bayer Munich up this season.
Xabi Alonso is prominent enough to handle the hurdles which will be coming his way next season. Remember he's the main reason behind the sudden peak form of Bayer Leverkusen, they're able to comprehend the situations at hand and hitting top target in each season. Bayer Leverkusen have relaxed their players and they're warming up for the big season ahead. This is not an easy one because the entailed actions involves other oppositions.
I think the same as you, for me Xabi has everything necessary to always stand out among the best and watch out if they are champions, now he will start with the UCL, something that will measure the true level, of course the Bundesliga is very exciting, especially to know how Bayern will react with everything that happened last season, so for me it is very intriguing, I could bet on Leverkusen confidently, but I know that the other teams will be prepared to face them, and of course things are tougher now, but I trust in Xabi's work.
“He’s lighter, more athletic” – Victor Boniface’s fitness transformation delights Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso
In the final ten league games after his return in April, Boniface managed five goals and two assists, but his performances lacked the dynamism that had previously defined his play.
Now, following an intensive preseason, Boniface is showing signs of his former self. While he hasn’t scored in recent friendly matches, his performance in training has drawn praise from Alonso.
“I am pleased that he has used the time. After the injury, we did not have enough time for him to train. We needed him for the games. Now we see a Boni who is lighter and more athletic in the box,” Alonso said, as per Liga Insider.
Bayer Leverkusen will kick off their season with a Super Cup clash against Stuttgart on August 17, followed by the start of their title defence against Borussia Mönchengladbach on August 23.
