Football has been full of excitement lately! I can hardly sit still because after 120 years of waiting, Leverkusen has finally achieved their dream!
Just a few nights ago, in the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen defeated Bremen 5-0, clinching the Bundesliga title five rounds early. This marks Leverkusen's first Bundesliga title in their 120-year history and breaks Bayern's 11-year monopoly. The last non-Bayern team to win the Bundesliga was Klopp's Dortmund.
Under Alonso's leadership, Leverkusen remains unbeaten in 29 league matches and has an astonishing unbeaten streak of 43 matches across all competitions. To be honest, most of the teams I manage are kids in their teens, and apart from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, they hardly know anything about the Bundesliga, which is quite poignant.
Leverkusen, a small town with only 160,000 people, finally won the Bundesliga title after 120 years of waiting, with a resounding 5-0 victory. This is the best gift the young troops of Leverkusen could give for Leverkusen's 120th anniversary. Alonso has made history with Leverkusen, leading them to break Bayern Munich's 11-year Bundesliga title monopoly and securing the championship five rounds early.
I've been following the Bundesliga closely, and last season Leverkusen struggled midway through. Alonso took over the team and, in just one and a half seasons, turned them into a formidable force. He not only led the team to challenge the Bundesliga hegemony but also brought the championship home, with the chance to create an unbeaten season myth.
Why can Leverkusen win the title? It's worth pondering. The average age of Leverkusen's main lineup is only around 26, with the most dazzling star, Wirtz, just 20 years old. His value has soared to €100 million, becoming the highest-rated player in the Bundesliga this season. Leverkusen epitomizes team football, with no star strikers but rather a united group of teammates and brothers.
Alonso, with just this one championship, has already become another superstar coach who successfully transitioned from a defensive midfielder. It's undeniable that the probability of producing a superstar coach from the midfield, especially defensive midfield, is high. Just think about it: Guardiola, Xavi, Zidane, Ancelotti, and now Alonso, it's a dazzling array of stars.
Another good news is that Alonso won't leave Leverkusen. After this season, both Liverpool and Bayern will have vacancies for head coach positions, but Alonso has personally stated that he will continue to stay at Leverkusen next season. This will undoubtedly inject a strong dose of confidence into the team. Let's hope Leverkusen maintains their unbeaten streak in all competitions for a long time to come, and may the Bundesliga remain undefeated for even longer.
Come on, Leverkusen! Come on, Alonso! Come on, young lads! |
