That's one year and three months already. Xabi Alonso really influenced Bayern Leverkusen players to push on to this moment. I will love to see that they win the Bundesliga League Competition again this season. This is the first lose they've had but I don't see them losing conservatively. The lose has happened, now it's time to focus on the next game. Bayern Munich can thrive this season, but that of Borrussia Dortmund, I will need them to convince me. Xabi Alonso remains the best tactical manager in the Bundesliga League Competition still this season, I don't see Vincent Kompany ahead of him right now. They still have what it takes to win the Bundesliga back to back again.
I think is better they (Bayer Leverkusen) lose the game at least one game and for those who are waiting and hoping for them to lose to have a rest of mind. To say the truth they need to be ready for something different and let that winning streak end ones and for all so that they (Leverkusen) can focus on something important like the league games and also the champions league games. If they still have that winning streak going on they won't concentrate on the game at hand but maintaining that unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga and it will affect their style of play.
Kompany can only go ahead of Leverkusen only if Xabi allows that to happen, I don't want a situation where we have to see Leverkusen struggling for steam because from the games both Bayern and Leverkusen have played I can only see Bayern Munich still struggling to meet up and I won't want to see the champions having say issue.
