How can you not mention Florian Wirtz?? He definitely is the best and most important player in this attack. The rise of Leverkusen under Xabi came with and because of the return of Florian Wirtz from his ACL tear. This season he is behind Bellingham the best scoring midfielder in Europe and it is save to say that he doesn’t define himself with goals and assists, he is way more influential than that.
he brings all of the creativity and ideas into the game as you saw when he was missing against Wolfsburg and hes also the person with the most assists in 2023 (20)
In the world of football, each player becomes a hero, and every fan is a storyteller, weaving tales of triumph and resilience that fuel our love for the sport
I have been a Leverkusen fan since pre-corona era, so quite a couple of years now. I fell in love with the play-style, the fast, smooth attacking style, where every attack looks like a counter-attack. We also always had the squad to win the league, it was the mentality. Especially in conceding goals, we didn't buy any new defenders or gk, but we don't lose matches we should've won anymore. On the contrary, we just won against Augsburg in extra time. Alonso has that influence, that winning mentality and he is great with the players. I really hope we finally win a trophy this year.
Mourinho forget Del Bosque because they had some beef, but Vicentón was pivotal for Xabi's career. With Luis Aragonés, Alonso was in the bench most of the time. When Del Bosque arrived to Spanish national team, he chose Alonso and Busquets as his generals on the pitch. Even above Xavi or Iniesta. Del Bosque put David Silva in the bench to give Xabi the keys of the team. And he was a really big factor in World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012.
He also came to Meath, Ireland 🇮🇪 one summer as a school student to learn Irish and fell in love with our national game Gaelic football (GAA). Next Liverpool manager
Whoever drew those passing lines on the photo that presents this video clearly knows little about passing lines as the obvious triangular lines are omitted. As for Alonso, he was vastly underrated as a player despite playing for some of the biggest clubs. While Gerrard was taking all the plaudits at Liverpool it was Alonso who was really pulling the strings and it was no surprise once he moved on their performances suffered just as when he arrived at Real he became the glue to take them up a level. Loved watching him as a fan of good football. No surprise he is making a mark as a coach/manager.
bro, imagine you travel around the world as a soccer player, then you need to travel the world as a coach and having your family moving around with you, kids changing schools and etc. That's crazy. Soccer life is good, and at the same time very tough.
Leverkusen always had great gameplay, but Alonso brought back stability and belief. It looks like Leverkusen executes every move perfectly. its not the moves that are great, but how many of them they can do perfectly. Becoming a pro is always training the essential stuff to perfection . That what he did at Leverkusen. i would love them to stay together for another year. Why move? if they get 1-2 additional players they can beat any team in Europe consistently. Rather win the champions league once as a team of underdogs with 90 min on the pitch compared to sitting on the bench at Real Madrid and winning it again and again. Also Bayern needs to lose the national trophy not only this season but also next season :)
Although it may not be the situation for all the members of the team, I think Xabi Alonso is seriously considering mastering next year at B04. Ancelotti is staying at Madrid for another year and Klopp ain't moving from Liverpool. The only challenge is Bayern Munich, how long 'till they juice Alonso's ears with promises?
@@ridwaanmuhammad7089 : Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso are just friends who grew up together I believe lol the picture displayed was Arteta coach for Arsenal, he has the same name as Xabi’s brother ‘Mikel’.
Alonso is doing an amazing job at Bayern,But i will like to watch them play against Guodiola's Man city to measure how far they have come.I think Man city is the litmus test for any team in the world.
The scariest thing is Xabi Alonso was trained under Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola, Benitez and Del Bosque and he made a remarkable team out of a club like Bayern Leverkusen who had never won a trophy in their history before Xabi arrived to this club and now they're unbeatable. Just imagine if he gets to coach Real Madrid and the things he would achieve with that squad, he will definitely cause mayhem with Real Madrid in the European football.....
As a man city fan... I'm happy though I didn't like that Kevin thought he was thinking he is above the team... It was a battle of titans. Deserved better goals.
Maybe he should join England so as he could feel the pressure i doubt if he will be on top 4 in premier league as a coach but i know he will put a fight cause for now bundesliga is a joke full joke no active competition not as the old days cause the old days of bundesliga was hell , fire,smokey he should join the premier league for a test and i will say yes he is the best upcoming coach coz for now am aren't convinced apart from his good performance i need him in England to make the beast out of him.
If Liverpool progress in the EL then I'll be Leverkusen I would want to avoid, torn, Iove Xabi Alonso, esp what he did for Lpool and hopefully future manager at the club.
@@SkeleFang🤦 they are not brothers. Mikel Arteta and Mikel Alonso are two different people. Arteta and Xabi only knew each other from childhood and they both are Spanish nationals and played together but they are not siblings...
'Neverkusen' ? Holy moly, that's cruel. 'Vizekusen' back then (mostly) would be said as banter and understood as such (mostly)... but 'Neverkusen'. Good god I was blessed not knowing English back then. I don't think I would be in a position to type these words right now considering my potty mouth back then...
I think the way you setup the video in the beginning is setting the scene completely wrong. Lots of people thought he would be a good coach, already from the beginning. Bayern Munich predicted he would do we even while he was a player, cause he behaved already like a manager then on the field. So to claim only Jose saw something in him nobody else was is simply nonsense.
Lol no Arteta and Xabi are not brothers they were just teammates from childhood ,Spanish national and know each other from childhood but they are not siblings 🤦. There is a mistake in this video for that particular photo. Mikel Arteta and Mikel Alonso are two different people...
Because Harry Kane joined Bayern Munchen. Leveruksen can finally win the Bundesliga, because the curse of Harry Kane never winning throphy can never be broken.
He will be Klopp's successor when our German legendary manager decides to retire! He will slip in easily because Liverpool is already familiar with the high pressing game!
Who are here after Liverkusrsen win the title?
Me 😅q
The video creator did a great job & and hopefully, we'll see an update video.
here 👌
Do you think football a real thing? 😂😂😂😂 it's just a bullshit😮😮😮
Looking back now, they sure have broken the Nervekusan curse...
Big Win!!
Xabi has learned alot from great managers through his playing days, but his dad must be a great help to draw upon.
Snuck in Arteta like we wouldn't notice at 0:39 😭😭😂
😂😂😂
It can actually create confusions between Mikel Arteta and Mikel Alonso...
I came to see anybody else noticed😃😃
honestly had me questioning if they were brothers smh haha
same here! mikel arteta n mikel alonso are two different person. 😂
😆😆🤣

Yea. I noticed about this guy long before he had an acl
Nah the most important player is Granit Xhaka. Without him this Leverkusen wouldn’t exist
he brings all of the creativity and ideas into the game as you saw when he was missing against Wolfsburg and hes also the person with the most assists in 2023 (20)
Well he isn't new to the team so it's all down to the fact that his coach unlocked his potential
@@idoreyinsampson7715 on paper he is not new but he came back from a one year absence die to an ACL tear. So he was like a new signing
Alonso was always my favorite player in the galácticos age. Was underrated and overlooked as threatening which made him even more badasssss😂
In the world of football, each player becomes a hero, and every fan is a storyteller, weaving tales of triumph and resilience that fuel our love for the sport
even onana??😢😅
Nice words! 👏
Mario Balotelli was great hero for young inspring football players.

you're basically new fan lol. what happened if alonso leaves what would you do.
@@trrrmache was alr a fan way before Xabi coach them wym
"break the neverkusen" is exactly what I never knew I need to hear as a Liverpool fan🤞🏼
Yea you can xavi alonso you have transformed a team into a scoring machine im so happy for xavi
Fight between 2 curses to win bundesliga... Neverkusen or harry kane spurs curse...😂😂😂
That’s a good one 😂
Is it football or jujutsu kaisen 😂
And there Marco reus
Nailed it.😅😅😅
Spurs win the Prem without Kane to complete the curse 🤞😔🤞
Coached by Guardiola, Ancelotti, Mourinho and many great.
And that clearly tells why he is so good
@@baller-90 he was already a world class pep is not a great coach 😂

i can see tony kroos will also be a top tier manager
Now they went on journey from Neverkusen to Neverlosin'
Xabi Alonso is the same type of trainer like Peter Bosz of PSV Eindhoven!!! 😊😉😎 The future national teams coaches!!!

He's the latest Pep the best tactical genius of the new Gen of coaches
Alonso is master class

What does Mikel arteta have to do with this
@@DavidLopez-q4yYou were wrong about Klopp. He'll be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
He was some passer! Strong tackler too.
0:40 : Mikel Alonso that’s his brother but the picture is Mikel Arteta the Arsenal coach. 😅
Foreal, I was confused I had to stop the video and google search "Are Xabi Alonso and Mikel arteta brothers?"
@@themanwithnothingtolose same here than I started to look for this comment to see if I was the only one 😂😂😂
Same here..are they brothers??

It depends on the players as well management can be anything but you need right people at right place
Alonso was a technically gifted player. I understand how he turned out to be a great manager.
Marcus alonso?
Not sure those are particularly related.
@@suhasm6086He meant Xabi Alonso, Marcos Alonso isn’t related to him
@@mitch4729 I know, just kidding😜
You’re saying that now because he’s doing well
We can see today he is a genius!!!
I remember the same videos about Ten Haag and Ajax 5 years ago.
Alonso is doing an amazing job at Bayern,But i will like to watch them play against Guodiola's Man city to measure how far they have come.I think Man city is the litmus test for any team in the world.
He is playing like a Madrid team he played in and still a lot of focus on his personal style of play..
Bayern Leverkusen Board of Directors - Mikel Arteta, Ole Gunner Solskjaer, Jose Mourinho, Chris Wilder
Just when they are at the top, Patrik Schick comes back from injury and scores three in 15 minutes.
now 50 games unbeaten Xabi Alonso is the best 💪🦍
Great Luke, thanks for your analysis
great video. keep them coming
And yeah he did win the league
Anfield awaits❤
Bayer: We are undefeated the whole season and can beat any team
Atalanta: Look man
Wirtz making sure xabi's visions are put into reality,
The other players are also on the same page as him,
Just here after Bundesliga title win for Bayer.
Great game
Best wishes Xabi
Xabi Alonso is saving football.
Great video, very fun and charming. Subscribed!
Thanks for your support
Good vid bro👍
I want him as coach at Liverpool
I prefer him stay. And get into full throttle of champions league.
Crazy to think Xabi is Mikels brother and both we top world managers
Arteta isn't his brother. The image of Arteta in the middle was a bait lol - his bro is Mikel Alonso...
The scariest thing is Xabi Alonso was trained under Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola, Benitez and Del Bosque and he made a remarkable team out of a club like Bayern Leverkusen who had never won a trophy in their history before Xabi arrived to this club and now they're unbeatable.

Perfect Manager for Newcastle United
Mikel Arteta is NOT is his brother
i come from the fruther its matchball for Leverkusen 1 win or draw out of 6 matches and its gg
As a man city fan... I'm happy though I didn't like that Kevin thought he was thinking he is above the team... It was a battle of titans. Deserved better goals.
Imagine a liverpool v leverkusen final in Dublin next may. It would be sensational .
Welcome to Liverpool ❤
Your photo of “Mikel Alonso” is actually Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso’s best friend and current manager of Arsenal.
He broke the curse
Maybe he should join England so as he could feel the pressure i doubt if he will be on top 4 in premier league as a coach but i know he will put a fight cause for now bundesliga is a joke full joke no active competition not as the old days cause the old days of bundesliga was hell , fire,smokey he should join the premier league for a test and i will say yes he is the best upcoming coach coz for now am aren't convinced apart from his good performance i need him in England to make the beast out of him.
can’t wait to see leverkusen against liverpool in europe league if both team consistent until face each other
That would be a great game to watch
Has anyone ever seen Xabi Alonso, and Mark Wahlberg, in the same place, at the same time? #OneAmdTheSame
Great job, but I think you forgot to mention that he won everything with club and also the international squad
Who else is here after klopp announced he will leave the club
If Liverpool progress in the EL then I'll be Leverkusen I would want to avoid, torn, Iove Xabi Alonso, esp what he did for Lpool and hopefully future manager at the club.
Chelsea really needs to get him with these bunch of young players.
Yeah cos he loves Chelsea 😂
3 months later, still unbeated... Heading to Real Madrid to coach the best team ever...
WELCOME TO LIVERPOOL...AGAIN XABI✊🏿
Who’s here after that nice win against Bayern FC?
Liverpool needs him now
Mikel Arteta = Mikel Alonso😅

So they really are brothers?

Now they are neverlosen
You put the wrong Mikel in your video at 0:41, that's Mikel Artera, not Mikel Alonso😂

Shit they won bundesliga fr :)))) 🎉🎉🎉
I never knew Xabi Alonso and Mikel Arteta were brothers

Next season lets see if they can beat City or Real Madrid in the UCL
Bundesliga completely scuffed because kane curse and neverkusen how could tuchel not know 😭
Y'all pretend like you don't see Arteta's pic snuck in 😂😂
Lmao what was Mikel Arteta doing in that picture 😂
I didn’t know arteta was Alonso brother
Lol no Arteta and Xabi are not brothers they were just teammates from childhood ,Spanish national and know each other from childhood but they are not siblings 🤦.

Maybe now that Ancelloti has signed a contract up until 26...if Klopp leaves then it's Xabi for sure.
Now you have moved on from Gerard 😂
@@rigdenphuntsho2344huge fan of Gerrard as a player, but as a manger hell nah💀

I thought you gonna explain about his tactical
I thought it would be xavi, but it’s xabi
who new subscribing to baller 90 was the key 😎
Thanks for your support
All great coach are ex midfield player? Your thoughts?
Because every team built around midfielders so they have a better understanding of tactics
looks like jason bateman
Please come to MU
You do realise he was at Liverpool. He wouldn't be seen dead at your dreck club, he'll take over from Klopp in 26.
Benfica is struggling this season because we lost Grimaldo
Now. No more Neverkusen !
Neverlusen..!
Mate, the background music is way too noisy
Arteta aka Alonso
Foreverkusen
Can they beat City,Liverpool and Arsenal?not to bias, Aston villa
You can't reveal his tactics
