« on: Today at 12:10:58 AM »Xabi Alonso bring positive effect for Bayern Leverkusen on second season since becoming the manager, its fantastic just need under two season for helping Leverkusen winning Bundesliga and reach to final round of Europe League. Actually last season Alonso almost success reaching to final round but defeating by Roma with their tactician Jose Mourinho and this season Alonso success kicking out Roma in the semifinal round.Leverkusen can reach its current level because it has a great coach like Xabi Alonso. And yes, they still played aggressively even though they had already gathered a lead from the first leg. Xabi Alonso managed to make Leverkusen a very strong team in just the 2 seasons he was there, namely since 2022.It's Xabi effect, truly.
However, it is true, Xabi's struggle and process to make Leverkusen rise and develop so well is also not easy and not short. As you said, it took Xabi at least 2 more years to do it. Because building a small or medium team to be as strong and consistent as this is definitely not easy. Moreover, Xabi does not have the choice of other big players like the club he used to play at Real Madrid. However, his experience as a big player at the giant La Liga club is able to implement his tactics and strategies. Based on his experience, skills and abilities, Xabi can blend in and make the Leverkusen players as good and solid as they are. Now, it's just a matter of consistency in the coming seasons that will keep Leverkusen as good as it is.
Alonso had good tactic, strategies and keep working hard until the last minutes match, many time Leverkusen conceded early and wake up on few minutes before match end.
