Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. Comparing Xabi's abiliy based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from.
It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good.Their last UEL round of 16 game was played and the results were very impressive. We saw the two big teams in the competition strive to make a good game.
Although for Qarabag, yes they were very much competitive and they did their best to hold Leverkusen to a draw but this is not a justification to their qualification unto the next phase. Big ups to them still that they were able to perform unpredictably well last night. They better in the first two goals in the game and they definitely used their host advantage very well. Leverkusen, would only have to do better in the second leg adding that they'd be the host and i believe they won't want to tarnish their records so far this season, so I'm very much confident in their ability to score enough and secure the next phase ticket when they take on Qarabag in Germany.
Xabi is coach who is able to implement various best strategies in playing and also in the placement of players so as to make the Leverkusen squad really very strong even though I don't see Leverkusen having great players who are very expensive.
This is Xabi true greatness and with his performance ability, if he coaches much bigger team, it is very likely that he will be able to achieve more championship titles, he will also become coach with big name.
Everyone and even all football teams admit that Xabi performance is truly above average and the opinion is that Xabi is the best coach in the future considering that currently he is still quite young as coach.
I think Leverkusen has chance to the treble winner this season.
Their Bundesliga managed to top the standings with comfortable and safe position, their Europa League will compete in the quarter-finals against West Ham and are likely to win, and the last one is the DFB Cup where Leverkusen has reached the semifinals.
This is really good opportunity and it is very rare for it to be repeated, even this season is Leverkusen best season which has been able to provide many opportunities in the fight for the title.
