On the other hand for Xabi now he has found his rhythm again in carrying out the attack scheme and of course this is a very good thing for him because after all, even though Bayern are still far more favorite in the championship but they are the defending champions who certainly cannot just give the trophy without a fight.
Yess, and they are on fire in the last few weeks, their performance has increased quite significantly. and based on the interview with Xabi, he said that they have to end this year with a big win. one more time, to fly high. and this will make their motivation much higher for the win from Dortmund.
16 matches without defeat clearly shows how Xabi is in the phase of returning to form and they are indeed focused in all competitions undertaken so this is certainly a very good capital to continue to make a breakthrough in the Bundesliga because after all, with their consistency, especially for the 3 points that are always scored, it is clear that this can make it more difficult for Bayern to breathe even though now the gap of 4 points still seems quite far but with so many matches remaining, the chance of competing for the trophy is still there with a record of Leverkusen continuing their unbeaten performance just like last season.

Xabi studied what made them stumble at the start of the season and now they are back to their best form and that has brought them back to 2nd place behind Bayern Munich by just 4 points.
There is still a long way to go, the key is for them to be consistent and their meeting with Bayern Munich could be a very decisive meeting for their position. In the last few meetings, Leverkusen have had very satisfying results, including the first leg which ended in a draw. A draw is already a good result, although a win would certainly be a very good result.
Now actually Xabi's test is quite complex where he can continue to be consistent with the increasingly dense competition especially with the onslaught of several rumors of players who will leave later because as long as it can be overcome by Xabi then indeed this can be a very good situation in the end for Leverkusen.
In addition, this can also be an answer to whether his coaching career will develop further or not because if in the end Xabi can successfully undergo some of his competitions well even though in the end they might not get the trophy but I think he can still be appreciated when his performance is maintained.
