The entry of Xabi who replaced Gerardo Seoane was clearly a very good turning point for Leverkusen in this season in the bundesliga.
They were very bad for the first half of the season and Xabi's entry was also a bit of a concern when the first few games were not so good but the more Xabi got used to Leverkusen the better they got and continued to do something that was beyond expectations.

Even if you look at the current conditions they haven't even lost since last February and of course the Semi Final for the Europa League is also a very good achievement for Xabi who is indeed a new coach in this case.
The current gap is still possible to catch up to at least the European zone but for that there are still some opponents that are quite troublesome for them to face in the continued bundesliga.

Seeing Leverkusen many matches, they almost always win every game, and their game is extraordinary, it's no wonder this team is ranked 6th in the bundesliga, but they need to work hard again to be able to reach a better position in the standings, even against Bayern Even in Munich, they were able to win with a narrow score of 2-1, the team has great potential as a threat later on and for the strong teams in this league so as not to underestimate Leverkusen as their opponent

That is right. The change of the coach was absolutely the right decision. Xabi Alonso started with a 4:0 win against Schalke. Then they needed some time.
Leverkusen was in the relegation zone until matchday 12. At matchday 13 they won 5:0 against Union Berlin and they started a little series with many victories. That gave them a lot of self-confidence.

I am more interested in Leverkusen, what they have done this season is extraordinary, not because they have been able to appear consistently from the start of the season, but it's about how hard they work trying to be where they are now. I even doubted at the start of the season that they could compete for the European zone, but what is happening now is that they are a big threat to a team that is not performing well. I think it's quite lucky for the other teams, because the Bundesliga is only a few weeks away, otherwise I believe Leverkusen will be in a much better place.

That is an interesting thought. I think that at Union Berlin it will not be the players and the coach who have a problem with the Champignons League. They just want to play there and having fun. I am more afraid that the management can be a problem. That they will become too euphoric and make the wrong decisions because of the more money. We have seen this very often in the past at other clubs.

Union Berlin has made sensation in the beginning of Bundesliga and maybe you still remember at that time Union Berlin has able to taking over first position from Bayern and they even can survive several weeks on that position and last season Union Berlin almost finish at top 4 but unfortunately they were failed to did that because Union Berlin has 1 point difference below to Leipzig

For this season i have to say their chances to take last spot for champion league zone is wide open but it won't be easy for them because Freiburg can be threaten their position and Union will be tested again next week against the team who in the positive trend Leverkusen and this could be interesting match because we all know Leverkusen recently had outstanding performance and successfully to beat several strong teams in Bundesliga such as Leipzig and Bayern Munich

It is not strange at all if there are some issues inside the team certain things like this really happen and it is unavoidable if Thomas Tuchel can not handle that problem inside now because of that Altercation between Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane There are rumors that Liverpool and Chelsea want their hand on Sadio Mane and because Bayern Munich have expected so much on him to have filled the gap on the Robert Lewandowski leave, it was just filled in the start of the season but in the following coming match day Sadio Mane is harder to work on to, and I think Bayern Munich will need to make a decision to say goodbye to the Senegal player,


They surely want Better results but all they got was a tragic ending on their championship title this season, Bayern Munich wasn't aware for a situation like this to happen they got a bad decision in getting Nagelsmann out and expecting Tuchel to make it better, but the damage is already done when Robert Lewandowski leave the team, this is the wrong move for Bayern Munich that they have done in my opinion,

It is impossible to compare the Union Berlin from away games with the Union Berlin from home games. That is like day and night and one weakness they have to work on a lot. They are pretty weak in away games.

Union Berlin is the only team next to Bayern Munich that didn't lose a single game at home this season. Both teams have 9 wins and 5 draws and Union Berlin has by far the strongest defense in home games.

I expect this game against Leverkusen to be totally different from the first game when they lost 5-0 in Leverkusen. It is also an extremely important game because it is either allowing Leverkusen to come closer or to put an end to that story and keep them at a distance in the fight for the European competition qualifiers.

I'm really wondering what has really changed for Dortmund this season. Because technically the squad quality has decreased more after having no choice left other than watching Haaland leave the team. Haaland was the biggest part of the team for certain and I was doubtful if they would be able to keep their attacking strength at a high level. But they really did. New additions to the team have also been helpful and Bellingham is the biggest star of the season this time. He is also likely to leave the team by the end of the season though.

Anyway Terzic came and I was wondering how successful he would be this time. His first manager experience was with Dortmund again in the 20/21 season and he did a really great job. Now we are watching him improving the quality of his job even more. This will be really meaningful for Terzic if Dortmund manage to end the Bayern Munich domination for years. He will be remembered as a special manager I think.

The last time these two teams faced in Bundesliga, Leverkusen won the game with a 5-0 result which is amazing for any team but this time Unioin Berlin should get a better result if they want to stay at the top of the table otherwise they can lose their place soon in a few weeks, in the other hand Leverkusen is trying hard to get itself in top of the table and take the ticket for the next champions league.

Right? Who could have expected Xabi Alonso to make this happen in one of the biggest leagues in Europe? Because this is his first decent experience as a manager also. Generally I don't see the retired players becoming much successful in his first times in their manager careers. It is natural of course because experience is really important in this job to be more beneficial for the team you manage. But there are really some names who can start their careers in a great way and Xabi Alonso is one of them.

He didn't only help this team climb many positions to get away from the relegation area and even capture the 6th place to qualify for the Conference League. He has been doing great in the Europa League also. Leverkusen are shown as the second biggest favourite for the title by bookies.

Even rumors, after only a month at work, Thomas Tuchel is already in danger of being fired by Bayern Munich. Blid reported that the manager was threatened with being fired by Bayern's management. according to the report, Bayern's management immediately changed direction regarding Tuchel's future due to the bad rankings experienced by Die Roten. Bayern has certainly failed to win the treble winners this season. they lost at the Freburg FDB Pokal, and they were eliminated by Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals. in the Bundesliga, Bayern's position dropped to 2nd place.

Bayern Munich's management is reportedly very disappointed to see the setback their team has achieved. roughly, if Bayern is unable to return its ranking to the top of the standings. what will happen to Tuchel, it's interesting. and more interestingly as you said, I will quote "this is a very painful hope by hoping the other team falls"
by the way, as you said. I have said that Nagelsmenn's dismissal was a blunder for Bayern Munich. plus, the claims that Bayern have put forward to the news media are absurd. so, it's not impossible if there is a problem in the locker room. plus the hierarchy within the body of the Bayern Munich club, which results in management being more on the side of its players.

Well, I hope Dortmund can win the remaining matches and win the title of this competition. however, it seems that it is not easy even though in fact the Bundesliga only leaves five matches remaining. really, this season the Bundesliga offers something interesting for us to look forward to until this season ends.

Leipzig definitely needs to get a lot more wins, all wins if they possibly could because after spending that much money on the club and teh team it is a shame that they are 5th right now. I bet that they wouldn't want Nagelsmann back right now considering he left them for Bayern, but since he is available right now, I feel like that could be a good change this summer period.

They need to finish at the top three position normally but I do not see that happening anytime soon, freiburg and Union berlin had a wonderful season and a great momentum so far and that doesn't look like it is going to change anytime soon neither. Union berlin is solidifying their position carefully with such wins and Freiburg had a very dominant win as well.

Bayern's behavior has been very strange, I really didn't expect them to lose to City in the UCL, this is something that sets off alarm bells and it's something that no one expected, personally I thought they were going to beat City But it's something that didn't work, I don't know what went wrong, the players looked very tired, I don't know if the new coach's strategy is bad, I don't know what Tuchel failed, but what I know is that they shouldn't play again but like this, however they have plenty of opportunities, and if they play badly in the Bundseliga I don't see their recovery Being easy, in the Bundesliga the teams have a high level.


Now when we look at Dortmund it is like the main competitor against Bayern, so we can conclude that Bayern is going through a bad time, they got kicked out of many championships, and I read there that Oliver Khan gave them a big scolding The players, who had to play more, told them that they had to be better because they could be the best, these things at Byaern are remarkable, the truth is I wouldn't have liked being there, receiving that scolding from one of those legends, it's impressive, now after this I would like to see the performance of this team, which is quite crucial.

What many want to know:

The reasons behind Julian Nagelsmann’s termination from Bayern Munich

Union Berlin is maybe only 5 points behind Dortmund. But Union Berlin is not playing for the title. Their performance is not strong enough. Their performance needs to be consistent if they want to win the title. But Union Berlin's performance has been erratic. It is possible that Union Berlin will be happy to qualify for the Champions League from among the top four of the points table. However, if the performance is not consistent, it will not be easy for Berlin to stay in the top four of the table.

In fact, it is never easy for Monchengladbach to get points when Monchengladbach plays against Union Berlin. So the victory for Union Berlin with a narrow score of 0-1 is a victory on paper. But yes, Union Berlin's trend at that moment was also not very good, because Union Berlin still hasn't fully won consistent wins.

But yes, for the next match even though Union Berlin is playing at home, but the next match will still not be easy for Union Berlin because the opponent is Bayer Leverkusen. Because in reality, at this moment Bayer Leverkusen is on a very good trend because Bayer Leverkusen managed to go through 13 matches without defeat, 8 matches in the Bundesliga and 5 matches in the European League.
With this very good trend, then of course Bayer Leverkusen will still have the chance to get points in the match against Union Berlin, because Bayer Leverkusen still has the chance to end the match with a win or only a draw.

If you are not a specific fan of one of those clubs but from the Bundesliga as a whole, then i would say, that the best thing would be if Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen would qualify for the Champions League and Union Berlin and SC Freiburg only for the Uefa Cup. I really like both Berlin and Freiburg, but i just think that both of them are playing an exceptional season and that both of them would have a very hard time to do well in the Champions League in the next season. Leverkusen and Leipzig simply have higher chances in my opinion to do well in the CL and to advance into the knockout stage.

Union Berlin is generally still in a fairly good competition table and although it is still in third place in the temporary Bundesliga standings, Union Berlin is not far behind Bayern Munich and Dortmund because it is only four points away from Bayern Munich and five points from Dortmund. So Union Berlin just needs to be consistent in winning the remaining matches this season to secure its position so as not to be chased by Freiburg who are also not far behind Union Berlin.

I also think Munich took the decision too quickly to sack Nagelsmann and replace him with Tuchel, but that doesn't mean Tuchel isn't good, it's just that he came at the wrong time, the same as sacking Nagelsmann at the wrong time, why not wait for the end of the season when maybe it won't be making it difficult to focus on Munich players, moreover changing the strategy used by Nagelsmann and Tuchel is not the same, of course it will clearly change Munich's style of play.

I also don't think that Tuchel should be sacked because he just arrived at the wrong time so it will take time for Tuchel to make Munich a respected club again, after all if there is another change of coach it will not have any effect and rescue to win the German league In this season there have only been defeats and failures, so it's best to give Tuchel time to show the Munich fans that he can make Munich a better club.

Leverkusen is very strong right now. I doubt if berlin will be able to beat it. Leverkusen was winning against leipzig. It's unbelievable to see that how xabi was able to change the club drastically. It has proven that if leverkusen may come back again to the golden era against xabi alonso. This guy has so many experiences. The chance for berlin to win against leverkusen is very small at this moment. Leverkusen is on fire and it's always winning the match in the bundesliga. I don't even know what kind of strategy that can be used to win against leverkusen.
Xabi was adopting tikitaka and it can be prevented by killing the midfielder or try to use parking bus strategy. It will certainly render tikitaka an obsolete strategy.

Berlin was only able fully defensive against gladbach. it seems like that dortmund will able to use the same strategy again for the match against leverkusen.
Just let leverkusen will be trying so hard against the fully defensive strategy. that will be pretty interesting match.
