"When it comes to the Bundesliga, the first impression for many people has been the long-time dominator, Bayern Munich. Apart from occasional challenges from Borussia Dortmund every few years, Bayern's league championship has often seemed like a foregone conclusion. However, if you take a look at this season's Bundesliga standings, you'll be surprised to find that the current top team is neither Bayern nor Dortmund but Bayer Leverkusen, a team that narrowly avoided relegation just last season. What magic has transformed this team?

Speaking of Bayer Leverkusen's turnaround, it's impossible not to mention the impact of their coach, Harvey Alonso, who took charge of the team last season. Leverkusen had their worst-ever start in Bundesliga history last season, falling into the relegation zone and experiencing a loss of trust among players. The team's internal atmosphere hit rock bottom. Harvey Alonso's arrival directly changed the fortunes of the team. He not only lifted Leverkusen from the doldrums but also guided them to a sixth-place finish in the league.

This season, Bayer Leverkusen underwent a significant transformation. After strengthening multiple positions, Leverkusen, under the leadership of Harvey Alonso, took off. They currently sit atop the league with 7 wins, 1 draw, 25 goals scored, and 7 goals conceded in 8 matches. Emerging stars like Wertz have become sought-after prospects for many top clubs. All these positive changes can be attributed to Harvey Alonso. As a player, he had already achieved numerous honors, and his skill and leadership qualities earned him praise from many, including top coaches like Guardiola and Mourinho, who anticipated his potential as an outstanding manager.

Thanks to his successful coaching experience at Bayer Leverkusen, Harvey Alonso has already made it onto the shortlist of many top clubs. Reports suggest that traditional football powerhouses such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are interested in Harvey Alonso. If the opportunity arises, they won't hesitate to bring him in as their head coach. It's safe to say that Harvey Alonso possesses the qualities to become a renowned manager."

My impression of Alonso was still from his days as a player at Real Madrid. It seems that true heroes shine no matter where they go. He was outstanding as a player, and now, in his coaching role, he's equally remarkable. I really admire him. Real Madrid is indeed a magical place; it produces not only great players but also excellent coaches.I wonder if my idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, will become a coach after retiring as a player. Haha!

This is just temporary; the Bundesliga has essentially been Bayern's backyard. Over the years, more than half of the players who have come through the Bundesliga have ended up transferring to Bayern. They've depleted numerous other teams.

There's no love without reason; to rank first, there must be a cause!

Leverkusen has always been a strong team in the Bundesliga, it's just that they are not as high-profile as Dortmund and Bayern, and not as financially endowed as Leipzig.
