Can we do what City did for Pep, and bring this man over?
And yet they are not the most improved team in the Bundesliga (season-to-season comparison).18 months Leverkusen have gone from 2nd bottom of the league to winning it whilst undefeated and in 2 more cup finals
It's fine, he rejected Bayern as wellAnd yet they are not the most improved team in the Bundesliga (season-to-season comparison).
Stuttgart's revival under Hoeneß is just as impressive.
Who didn't?It's fine, he rejected Bayern as well
Is the Real Madrid heritage.They can't keep doing this. So many late goals and how do you not loose a single game!

Who are you, the twitter dress guy???On top of his obvious coaching abilities I must also say I’m impressed with his laid back, casual style, with simple sweatshirt / long sleeve and sneakers. Elegant without being overdressed.

If Leverkusen get raided for their best players in the Summer, then it will be a huge test (his first real big test ) of how good he actually is, or if this season was just a flash in the pan.To be a fly on the wall at his agent's office as the offers are tabled for his services when the time comes. If he doesn't go to Madrid, he's likely to become the best paid manager in the world (on the books), and I wonder how much those offers will go up to if he doesn't swear allegiance to any one/two club(s) and invites a bidding war.
Think he's nailed on for the Madrid job, but there won't be a more coveted manager in the game than him. If he produces a second extremely competitive season at Leverkusen, he'll look nailed on to be next truly great one.
On sunday we will be playing in Bochum for the first time since May 27th '23 - which was the last match of last season and the last time we lost a competitive game. Usually, I'm not a superstitiuous person but since this season can't be explained rationally anymore, I'm a bit nervousThey have four games left. Atalanta is the tough one due to the placement of where it is then the cup final a few days later. Momentum is with them though and I cant see them losing the two league matches left. That match v Atalanta will be brilliant viewing.
We won't. I can see all important players staying, actually. But 2025 could see a mass exit and a huge rebuild, unfortunatelyIf Leverkusen get raided for their best players in the Summer, then it will be a huge test (his first real big test ) of how good he actually is, or if this season was just a flash in the pan.
That’s a big fecking pan!If Leverkusen get raided for their best players in the Summer, then it will be a huge test (his first real big test ) of how good he actually is, or if this season was just a flash in the pan.
You beat them 4-0 in December. Let's see if you can keep the nerves awayOn sunday we will be playing in Bochum for the first time since May 27th '23 - which was the last match of last season
Jens Lehmann owns a trademark that says otherwise.if they go unbeaten through the whole bundesliga season, it doesn’t highlight anything about leverkusen or alonso, it just shows how weak the league is. no one could ever go the through the whole british premier league season unbeaten.
If that super cup match up actually happens, it could legitly break the space-time continuumI’ve watched more Bundesliga games this season than all previous seasons combined. And Leverkusen are just a joy to watch. They dominate games but are much more direct in their approach towards the goal than a Pep team. Very intelligent on the ball. Just great stuff.
The late comebacks for added entertainment value. Now I really want them to keep that unbeaten streak going, at least for the full season. And ideally us putting an end to it, sorry @Zehner
One of the main reasons Alonso has agreed to stay is that he has assurances from the board and key players that they won't leave this summer.If Leverkusen get raided for their best players in the Summer, then it will be a huge test (his first real big test ) of how good he actually is, or if this season was just a flash in the pan.
There was one weak season in the PL in which Arsenal went unbeaten.if they go unbeaten through the whole bundesliga season, it doesn’t highlight anything about leverkusen or alonso, it just shows how weak the league is. no one could ever go the through the whole british premier league season unbeaten.
Yeah and some of them are on long contracts too. So Bayern can't just bully their way in and get them cheap or wait out a year and take them for free.One of the main reasons Alonso has agreed to stay is that he has assurances from the board and key players that they won't leave this summer.
You guys practise witchcraft. The only explanation for the extreme luck you possess year after year.Who are you, the twitter dress guy???

In the age of VAR, that Pires dive vs Portsmouth would've been picked up.There was one weak season in the PL in which Arsenal went unbeaten.
We were 10 minutes away from all Bundesliga UCL final.if they go unbeaten through the whole bundesliga season, it doesn’t highlight anything about leverkusen or alonso, it just shows how weak the league is. no one could ever go the through the whole british premier league season unbeaten.
Michael Owen.Not a chance he’d join us with his Liverpool links. He’s destined for a future career of managing both Madrid, Liverpool and Spain.
Only in Bundesliga you can go unbeaten and still perform in the cups. That's how weak Bundesliga is compared to PL.There was one weak season in the PL in which Arsenal went unbeaten.
not in our lifetimes.There was one weak season in the PL in which Arsenal went unbeaten.
i’m only 10 minutes away from boning dua lipa.We were 10 minutes away from all Bundesliga UCL final.
Alonso regularly rested half (or more) of his first team in cup/EL matches and always used his first choice in the league. He only started fielding his first choice in a cup against West Ham in the quarter final. That's more of the reason why they are always fresh than anything about the league itself. Rolfes built a very good squad with a lot of quality on the bench and Alonso is using this squad wisely to keep everyone fresh and minimize injuries.Only in Bundesliga you can go unbeaten and still perform in the cups. That's how weak Bundesliga is compared to PL.
Yeah we can't just accept defeat here. I don't think we ever tried seriously for Pep - just assumed he wouldn't want to come. He went over to City when they were a tiny club in comparison to us and the rest is history.Can we do what City did for Pep, and bring this man over?
Read it a couple of times now but Xabi didn't rest anybody yesterday. Wirtz was injured and wouldn't even have been on the bench if the match wasn't that important and Boniface/Schick weren't rested but out for tactical reasons. Alonso played with a false 9 in both legs against Rome so I assume he thought this would work better than a classic striker.It really seems written in the stars now, and the unfortunate thing is that anything less than an undefeated treble is going to be so underwhelming and uninteresting.
Luckily, one would think that if Xabi plays his best team from here on out they should be expected to win these last four matches.
