However, the fact that Bayer Leverkusen's leadership succeeded in retaining "chief architect" Xabi Alonso, as well as not losing any stars in the main squad, is the basis for fans of this team to hope to defend the Bundesliga championship.
We haven't seen better performances from Leverkusen in the first two games. We see poor performances from Leverkusen's defenders in both matches in particular. But I'd say it's not a big issue for Leverkusen. Leverkusen lost against Leipzig before the international break. This defeat was exactly what Leverkusen needed. Now Xabi Alonso can find the weaknesses in his squad. and can take necessary steps to fix the weaknesses.
Alonso is an experienced coach. Leverkusen's squad is also strong. If Alonos is able to strengthen Leverkusen's defense by changing his match tactics, then Leverkusen's performances will return to stability. Leverkusen will play against Hoffenheim in the next match. I think the Leverkusen team will make a comeback in this match.
