The win against Stuttgart in the SuperCup seems to signal if Leverkusen will have a good season. It's very astounding to see how Leverkusen dominated Stuttgart with only 10 players. Despite not great at holding the ball due play with 10 players. But, Leverkusen's counter-attack was terrifying in that game.
Yes, after Leverkusen got a red card on one of its players, this was actually quite worrying. But Xabi was really ready with his strategy that made Leverkusen really tighten the guard and be more alert. And penalty knockouts became a very good last plan for Leverkusen's kickers where they were really ready both in terms of skill and mentality.
This victory shows that Xabi Alonso is working on his team steady to keep improving their performance and building more confident in them by not letting their opponents lead demotivate them but rather motivate them to turn the game around in their favor.
The presence of Aleix García, the Central Midfield player they just bought also gave a good contribution, it was not difficult enough for him to fit in solidly with the new club. At least, his current value has increased quite a bit, from around €18.00m to €25.00m.
