But if Leverkusen wants to win the title, they will undoubtedly have to play better. Because Leverkusen's main rivals for the title, Bayern Munich, are in great form this season. The team is winning every match by a big margin. So if Leverkusen's overall performance is not stronger, they will not win the title.
Yep. "quite well" is not enough. Their midfield and front line are good but their defense is a bit worrying, conceding 3 goals is too much. They need to be better defensively.
And if they are so happy with a game like the one against Wolfsburg in their stadium... I'm really sorry, Bayern will destroy them
This season the Bundesliga should be more interesting, Bayern has been running at full speed.
Hopefully, Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and Dortmund can put some pressure on Kompany
Leverkusen are still one of the favourites this season in the Champions League after what they did last season, but if we compare their performance last season with the start of this season we can see a significant difference including a defence that is no longer as strong previously, but even so, of course the long season still allows Alonso to be able to improve their backline to be better later.
Leverkusen dramatic victory over Wolfsburg clearly proves that there is a weakness in their current defence, but luckily Leverkusen still has a good mentality in making comebacks in every game they play, seeing the fierce competition in the Bundesliga this season, Alonso should be able to make a lot of changes, especially since it is likely that a team like Bayern Munich will not give Leverkusen the opportunity to repeat what they did last season, the squad upgrades that occurred at Bayern Munich, Dortmund and also Stuttgart will of course provide a tight resistance for Leverkusen to be able to maintain their champion status this season.
