Leverkusen were a mediocre team. Last season we did not see a better performance than Leverkusen. The team was at the sixth place in the points table. And the performance was also very poor. The team probably won 14 matches. But this season, Leverkusen has performed well. Did not lose a single match in the Bundesliga. And all this is possible because of Xabi Alonso.
It's true that Leverkusen's players worked hard. Also Xabi Alonso's match strategy was excellent. And because of Alonso's match strategy, Leverkusen team was able to maintain the winning streak. Xabi Alonso is undoubtedly the best coach this year.
Indeed, previously Leverkusen performed quite poorly and was only able to occupy 6th place with only 14 wins because in the 2021/22 season Leverkusen managed to reach 3rd place with 19 wins, just below Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
But at least this season they appeared very significantly and the development of Leverkusen performance has really improved completely in every aspect, Xabi learned at the start of his first season leading Leverkusen and this season he has succeeded in turning everything into the best strength.
Next season may be the last we can see of Xabi with Leverkusen because there are many opportunities for Xabi to leave Leverkusen and go to lead another big team.
If not because Xabi desire to stay for at least one season may be the end of this season Xabi is gone.
Greatness that is truly real and difficult to imitate is the ability to build stable quality of performance using only limited players, I say limited in the sense that there are no top players who are truly great and dominate.
Leverkusen is very strong because the stability of teamwork is very good, each player can take over their respective duties from each position, this is the characteristic of all Leverkusen performance which is an unbeatable team.
