Bayer Leverkusen still has the oppurtunitty win the Bundesliga because the league is still young. They still have the quality players since they retained most players who made them champions last season. What is certain now is that they will not maintain their unbeaten run this season since they have already lost a game. The Xabi Alonso side was defeated by RB Leipzig making them to lose three points. The league is competitive with good sides like Bayern Munich with some of the best players in Europe. The surprising leader of the table now is Heidenheim, while Leverkusen is in the eighth position.
Yeah there is still much hope for Leverkusen as the league is merely beginning so it is too early to tell that they won’t be a contender this season. They are just 3 points behind league leaders after losing their last game to Leipzig at home, it’s a shame if you ask me but but i believe they would definitely improve their game and correct any mistakes they have made. They really have the advantage by retaining most of their players despite various teams showing interest in their players and also they are lucky to have not lost the coach as well Xabi Alonso that received lots of offers from bigger clubs but still chose to stay.
Let’s wait and see how they will react to the loss after the international break, they don’t look sharp like last season but they still got the players and the potential to still challenge for the title.
I don’t understand why people are so hopeless. Only two matches have been played. And already keep saying that Leverkusen might not have a chance to win the Bundesliga? That is really unbelievable.
By the way, I will definitely say that Leverkusen might actually not be able to play as well as they have done in the last season. Because now the other coaches know what to expect from that team. So they are obviously going to be ready for Leverkusen. But just because they have not been able to win both the starting two matches of the season, does not mean they will not be able to win the Bundesliga title. The first two matches of the season does not prove anything.
Alonso is so much determined, so let's see what will happen.
Good Luck
