Bayer Leverkusen's defeat against Leipzig was good for Xabi Alonso. Because Bayer needed to bounce back at some point. It reminded Xabi that he needs to focus on higher goals. Leverkusen showed signs in the Super Cup and in the league opener at Gladbach that their attention to detail is not what it used to be. Leverkusen had been showing bad signs defensively for some time.
Xabi Alonso will make the most of the break and learn from the defeat against Leipzig. In my opinion, Leverkusen's defeat was good and brought them back to life. This season is very important for Leverkusen to stay in the Bundesliga championship member. Because if they become champions this year, they will make it a continuity.
I agree with you, they lost the game in good time because now they have god enough time to find weaknesses and know what why they lost this match. This will definitely give them a good chance to have a better performance in the next games.
I think Bayer Leverkusen will have much harder games during this season because of the Champions League and this loss will definitely help them.
Yes, maybe that's the positive side that we can take from the defeat situation experienced by Leverkusen yesterday against Leipzig and I think evaluating to find the cause of the following defeat also with the enemy's superiority is something that is quite common for teams involved in the competition. This season will be more difficult for Leverkusen? Of course that's for sure, my friend, because many teams already know about how fierce Xabi Alonso's squad was last season which made competitors move quickly to improve their performance to be more impressive, but there is no other choice but to correct mistakes and update performance in any way if Leverkusen wants to defend its title, the point is I believe enough that Leverkusen can but the journey will not be as easy as last season.
