I went to the kitchen to make a coffee drink wearing a Harry Kane shirt, I couldn’t lift a cup
😂 I feel you
😂😂😂😂 nice
Jokes aside tuchel tactics cost them not Kane. Tuchel is overrated
Best one i've seen
😂
How great is Xabi in this interview. Unbelievable, his calmness must be very reassuring to his players.
It translates on the field. Players are extension of who he is.
He’s like the anti-Arteta.
@@KlepacMovies yes exactly. No big celebrations or carry on, just going about his job perfectly. Leverkusen have some really outstanding players as well but most importantly they are a proper team
I am an Arsenal fan but I might have to say Alonso > Arteta
@@davinnicode arteta clearly doing a great job but his emotional side is clearly a weakness. Compared to Pep, SAF, Alonso and even maybe Ange. They seem more often use controlled emotion. He doesn’t seem to as much.
Their celebration for the last goal and at the end was really beautiful.
That was a great stamp, nice cherry on top
Alonzo put the whole world on notice with that performance
He need to win bundesliga title 1st, he still got 3 more cup to win so hope he could do it to stop Bayern dominance, sick to see them win win win
@@stevenmah2070 This is a poor Bayern side with top players, they is no pattern of play, every thing they do is off the cuff, The Bundesliga has some good teams like Dortmund and RB Lepzig, carnt see Bayern winning the title playing the way they do.
Naggelsman never should have been let go.
Lmao, he was trailing last season 😂
He lost to Leverkusen before getting the sack
Why English players also start off by saying “yea ofc” 😂
@@sainaresh6830nagelsmann bayern conceded only 2 goals in group stage against INTER,BARCELONA,VIKTORIA PLZEN whereas tuchel bayern conceded 6 goals against MANCHESTER UNITED, GALATASARAY,COPENHAGEN... U CANT EVEN COMPARE THE TEAMS NAGELSMANN PLAYED AGAINST AND TUCHEL PLAYED AGAINST....
@@roshan_a_ Barcelona were finding their rhythm and Viktoria plzen were awful..
The whole group against Bayern were tough comparitively...
Thomas Tuchel is having a terrible season... But Nagelsmann wasn't having a dream run either
Bayern under Nagelsmann was much better!
The way Bayer Leverkusen opened up Bayern Munich’s midfield/Defence was crazy, I’m happy at least it makes the Bundesliga not a one team league but stranger things have happened in football, we know how Dortmund choked towards the finish last season 😊😊😊😊
That what I want to see in the PL, not Man city again and since most of fans are deluded, they keep attacking the wrong team
@@binouhtek8461because EPL fans are dumb
Unlike the PL and Ligue One.
Dortmund played really poorly as a title contender last year. The fact we had a title race was only due to the weakest Bayern München I've ever witnessed.
I know... Never say never but this Leverkusen team is different.
Xabi Alonso have played with Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern and the dominating Spain.
He’s been coached by Pep, Mourinho, Ancelotti.
He’s played with Xavi, Iniesta, Ramos, CR7, Gerard, Suarez, Di Maria, Lewandowski, Bale, Suarez, Benzema, Marcelo, Casilas, Neur, Kaka, Villa, Lahm, Mueller, Fabregas, Mascerano, Busquests, Puyol, Kimmich, Essien, Jordi Alba, Pepe, Ozil, Torres, Modric.
He’s won everything there is to win in world football. Champions league with 2 diff clubs, World Cup, Spanish league and Bundesliga.
Experience wise, he’s learned and played with the best out there for a good decade.
I’m not at all surprised that he’s doing this well.
The Harry Kane curse is real
Agreed. He shouldnt play england as well
Nvida going to $1,000 a share before EOY is a higher chance than Kane winning a trophy. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Brought an extra spursy player also!
😮 I never realized til now
I hope you interview Thomas Muller. He looked mad after the game.
he got interviewed but in german and yeah he was pretty mad
When Jose said Alonso being coached by him, ancelotti and Pep makes him very well suited for having the aptitude to be a successful manager, it is starting to show now.
They sent Harry Kane , the expert in the “we’re behind we gotta improve” speech in for a master class
First time watching a full game of Leverkusen and their passing is really good which is expected because Xabi was a passing magician as well
Is Eric Dier really the starter for Bayern Munich???
He wasn't a starter for spurs and he is starting for Bayern now.
@@tsimoi273Is the tuchel plan, destroy Bayern putting the worst players in the pitch
Yes because Spurs have top quality defenders, and Bayern don't. Kim is overhyped due to one good season, De Ligt is mediocre and Upamecano is one of the worst defenders I have seen.
@@Delboy0Dier >>>>>>>>>> Kim, de ligt, upamecano ????? Holy...
@NoName-un5pv absolutely. Bundesliga is a mediocre league. Any top 6 prem player even the bench warmers start for Bayern Munich or any of the clubs for that matter.
3:37 as a Bayer 04 fan that's not true. Xabi did change the lineup a lot. Hofmann, Frimpong and Schick all out, instead playing without a striker for the first time this season and with Stanisic at right wing back. He wanted the fast pace guys like Tella & Adli to disrupt Bayern's possession as much as possible and it worked, but it was definitely a gamble as well
so you are saying tuchel were better than xabi and the team failed him?
@@roshan_a_he didn’t say that. Xabi is strategically adaptive where Tuchel was rolling the dice in such pivotal match. In reality Tuchel does not know how to break the deep block and is trapped in the endless U. Bayern played like this for a decade, they’re static, predictible and only won titles due to menacing Müller & clinical Lewandowski after the Robbery era.
@@retiredrebeldont reply to clout seeker
this game made me grin like a child again. what a beautifull display by leverkusen. it looked like xabi told them "go out there and have fun",and they did.
For real. They were toying with them. It was an absolute pleasure to watch
Bayern losing Coman deflated the attack but Sane, Kane & Musiala had a rough game
Coman was dreadful anyway
It’s really the tactics, the footballing philosophy as well as poor managment.
Kane disappears in big games so not surprised.
@@Ferraribery97are you drunk?
You brought in a manager who lasted two years in every club he managed . His antics , his “ my way or the highway “ type of mentality and his lack of real talent are obvious . Tuechel may not survive longer than end of the season. It will be the 4 th club where he would be sacked and got a big pay out . Again .
After todays game I dont believe Bayern will win the league or the ucl - sorry Kane
Thats how fickle fanatics are...its football..anything can happen
Its still insane that to beat Bayern Munich in this league you *have* to be absolutely perfect. Because lets not forget its only been a five point difference so far.
And thats exactly how its supposed to be. It really sets footballing standards to the highest level for champions. And that makes being a champion special.
For you to win EPL with pep's city, you have to be perfect. Average results should not make you champions, look at arsenal and dortmund last season😂.
Tuchel escaping criticism yet again
Leverkusen been playing a total team game. what a game!!
Poor Harry Kane. Can he ever win a trophy? I hope he can.
That was a Jose mourinho type performance by xabi Alonso he controlled the game without the ball showing that he learned from Pep ancelotti and mourinho
Xabi Alonso's magic. He'll break the "Neverkusen" curse.
and strengthening the kane curse
Vizekusen not Neverkusen.
Hopfully history
Ppl were saying pep got it easy at Bayern n they win by default it seems good players need good coaching as well pep is the goat
Xabi got his tactics and gameplan spot on! I couldn't believe how well Leverkusen denied Kane the ball. He wasn't even in the game. Strange starting 11 from Tuchel. Dominating performance by Bayer Leverkusen!
Ale Moreno said this was a MONOLOGUE 😮💨 only one team on the field
Am proud of what Alonso have done ❤
Harry Kane slowed Spurs game down. Now look how quick they are. Kane slows any team down if the manager adapts play for him.
Harry Kane and the trophy... Still a better love story than Twilight 😅
The scary part is twilight is fiction and this is reality 😂
They had a whole studio for the Bundesliga coverage 😂
That was pathetic....What was Tuchel thinking, playing a tactic against Leverkusen of all Teams, that failed miserably against Mainz, a game Bayern lost.
And why on earth would you "experiment" with Players, in a game that really had to be won, or at the very least got a draw out of!
We offered nothing and it was 38 minutes before we even had a shot on target.
All the possession with no cohesion, no attacking prowess worth mentioning, Kane hardly touched the ball, Defence far to wide open, Midfield none existent.
I never thought Tuchel was the right Man for the job, when he was appointed, I think even less so now
Keep crying Bayern is done and exposed as frauds
@@kylestanley-rg8ywlol you child. Like we haven't been here before and what you write is what morons like you were writing in 2015 lol...let me remind you that we then went on an 11 Season Title run, you Muppet.
but to be fair xabi did experiment AS WELL...difficult in this regard
@@peter-mv5gk True and good point, but the difference was, Xabi knew what he was doing lol
@@kylestanley-rg8yw Jeeesus...Let me give you some advice child...Grow up.
The childish garbage you are coming out with, we heard in 1975, 1982, 2011 and now from the latest Muppet....You.
Meanwhile, the 3rd richest Football Club in the World, the ONLY Club that does not owe anyone one single penny, 29 Titles, 15 DFB Pokal's, 12 European Trophies, 1 Grand-Slam and only the 2nd Club to ever do it and so many records broken, I would be here the rest of the week reciting them all, later....We are still here, Moron.
"Fraud"?
We are the only honest top Club out there.
History has proven that over the years.
Now go away child, your drivel bores me and take the one idiot, who thumbed your pathetic comment up, with you.
My doubt about Kane has always been that although he scores a lot of goals he seems to go missing in too many big games including for England. I don’t know whether this is fair comment or not.
Leverkusen havent lost a single game all season. Might even win the Europa League
Most I ever heard Xabi speak lol quiet lethal player and seems same as manager.
What’s with the loud background music during graphic scenes?
They played without 3 Boniface Schick Polacios and benched Frimpong kinda was kinda like a mind game vs Munich
Yeah let's crown them already, formidable team this season
Bayern still not recovering from damages happened due to firing negalsman. I think they should call him back. Otherwise revamped whole team. Only negelsman can save bayern now. Trust me
Please no more excuses for Kane, I am tired of it
This whole talk of saying that changing your formation is conceding to the opposition... Sure, hindsight is 20/20, when it works we call the manager a genius, when it fails they're terrible
This result is all on Tuchel. That formation completely killed them. He tried to match them and go with the 3-4-2-1 when his players aren’t used to that system versus a team who is and in fine form and they got exposed. Not to mention, he also used to play this formation at Chelsea and one of his main criticisms was the attack was nullified and dull, yet he persisted with this formation today and Bayern’s front three all ghosted yet again. Say what you want about De Ligt and Kimmich but there’s no reason why they’re not starting in a game of this manner. It’s funny how when Bayern was struggling, he decided to bring on Kimmich to try to turn the game around when he should’ve started him regardless of the form he’s in rn bc players like that can suddenly find form in big games like this. I’m glad Leverkusen won and Tuchel got exposed bc I feel like he’s been getting a pass for a long time and had this been Naglesmann, Flick, or any other manager they would’ve been crucified by Bayern’s board and media by now
Top comment
True, and that's because they have to double down right now with Tuchel because they whacked Naglesmann for him, he'd better make them look like they were right when we can see now in hindsight that was a poor decision.
Totally true!
Why do we need the background music when the graphics are on.
That what happened when you got English striker Striker in your team
Alonso is going to step up in his manager careeer next Liverpool manager after Klopp 🔴🔥💪
Leverkusen had structure but they parked the bus for the most part. it was a formidable bus
Playing good defence ≠ parking the bus
As long as kane plays for England they will never a trophy. It will never come home 😅😅😅
No Liverpool fan wants Klopp to leave but Xabi coming in (if he comes in) would soften the blow for sure.
If that was BVB in recent years they are bottling it yesterday this leverkusen side truly are the best side we've seen since Jurgens BVB outside of Bayern munich.
Kane should step aside and let other strikers to lead England. Reasonably, Kane never experienced winning trophy. This is the real reason that Gate should reduce Kane duty and guve more chance to other players
He doesn't seem to demand a lot from his teammates
BIg teams shouldnt change their formations apart from injury crisis. It just shows the players the manager is clueless.
Leverkusen is one of the most *on form* teams in the world right now.
Tuchel is overrated, Roberto Di Matteo won the UCL too, that is my counter argument for those who think otherwise
I say that all the time lol
@@NeedsNoNam3it's his fault(or fate), choosing clubs at the wrong time...
Dortmund - Fans attack the bus before the game
PSG - So close yet so far
Chelsea - Sanctions leading to a ridiculous butterfly effect
Bayern - The board that backed him got sacked and things went kinda dicy
He wins a trophy Everytime he takes over a club
Tuchel did a brilliant job at Mainz, Dortmund, Psg and Chelsea. He is not overrated but he has no clue what to do at bayern
Coach & Management have to manage consistency in starting line up to improve their game.
The Starting line up was absolutely foolish.Not much aim in it.🔴⚪️
Would say Kane was the problem at spurs but let’s not act like they are winning anything this season either .
Poor Kane 😣.
they will win the Bundesliga and I predict they go Undefeated
Xabi is on fire
No team ever went undefeated in the Bundesliga! If they will do it Xabi Alonso will me immortalised
The Harry Kane curse has arrive 💔😅
They talk about Bayern as if they have a bad season, but they have already 50 points! It's just that Leverkusen is too good. That's all.
Ugh it's the weekend and Craig is slurring his words 🍷 cheers
Bayern MUST sack their lunatic manager today, not tomorrow.
Xabi Alonso should only eye Real Madrid or Bayern please don't risk it with Liverpool cause he really looks like the next revolutionary Manager.
if Leverkusen win the league, Xabi has to be UEFA manager of the year. and i think it will be almost impossible that he doesn't end up at either Liverpool or Real Madrid next season.
Should stay at bayer for 3years atleast
Poor Kane has to say the same things he used to with us Spurs…both Kane & Son deserve so a couple of trophies atleast 😢
What does Gp mean?
Bayern will be in a downfall if they stick with tuchel, the football they're playing is not at the elite level this game shown it
Yo, music guy at ESPN, pls calm it down with the music while people are talking. Thanks.
Remember when Dortmund was challenging for the Title last year?? Yeah, me neither
bayern about to buy half the leverkusen squad next season. i beg that most those players stick with the club just so bayern’s dominance can finally be tested for at least a couple years.
The perfect manager for Liverpool. Come on FSG let’s sign him up .
Kane left Tottenham in search of a trophy 🤣
Remember that their nickname is Neverkusen....
Can't wait Xabi replace klopp at Liverpool will be perfect ❤
I see Toni Kroos doing similar stuff to Xabi 8-10 years down the line.
Thomas Tuchel needs to be FIRED!!!!! Why is he considered a good coach is beyond me!
This win comes from what he learnt from José Mourinho. Control without the ball.
Stop inventing stories just to keep that idiot alive. Jose's teams are designed for an exteme low block. At no point did lever drop ultra deep close to their goal. You jose clowns should not be allowed to comment on football. There is NOTHING REMOTELY familiar to jose about alonso's coaching. Alonso is guardiola through and through
that's Tuchel's head 🤣
If Bayern Munich ends the season trophyless, I’m going to have more uncomfortable conversations around Thomas Tuchel than Harry Kane. It’s unfortunate for Harry Kane that he’s been scoring a lot of goals and obviously joined Bayern Munich to win trophies just for Bayer Leverkusen to go on an unbeaten run where they just can’t lose and they’re playing so much better than Bayern Munich and they absolutely deserve to win the Bundesliga over them.
They’ve not been bad this season, Bayer Leverkusen have purely been better and I don’t think that Bayern Munich have been at their most dominant best and this isn’t a this season problem they’ve lacked consistency in the last 12 months even before signing Harry Kane and football isn’t FIFA and many of us expected them to run away with the title again this season and that’s not been the case with them as Bayer Leverkusen are invisible and are ready to usurp them to the title and their 3-0 win today was impressive. Bayern Munich obviously should’ve never stupidly sacked Julian Nagelsmann and since Thomas Tuchel took over they barely even won the Bundesliga and now he was outclassed by a young manager today and they’re ready to sack him if they end the season without any trophies because the champions league is a big test for them and I’m not convinced that they’ll win this competition over Manchester City or Real Madrid based off of what I’ve seen from them recently and he seems to be reliant on individuals without him implementing a system or getting the best out of this team collectively. Instead of criticizing Harry Kane for cursing this team, we should all be concerned on what’s gonna happen with their manager if they have their end the season with no trophies for the first time since 2012
Sorry but Tuchel has won stuff. kane hasn't. This whole transfer was about winning something 🤡
@@senti2175 I know Kane has won nothing and as great as trophies are and that's why he joined Bayern Munich a club guaranteed to win at least 1 trophy, might have another trophyless season and you're all gonna blame Kane for cursing them no matter how well he plays.
A lot of people don't care if he breaks Robert Lewandowski's scoring record in the Bundesliga, because it's true that he went to Bayern Munich to win trophies not break records, but still football isn't about individuals it's not FIFA and many people thought that they would win everything this season and now there's a chance that they win nothing this season. Kane isn't cursed, Leverkusen have been better than them collectively and individually, Tuchel is only being bailed out by individuals at Bayern.
But why is Harry kan3 overrated this much he just an ordinary player in all big games
It is Kane's own fault, if he had waited 12 month better teams than Bayern would have purchased him. Bayern being the only team willing to pay 100 million for a 30 year old with only 12 month left on his contract should have been a red flag about how desperate Bayern were and problems in the team. Kane went to Bayern for the wrong reason because he thought he would get an easy trophy win.
Xhaka left Arsenal after bottling the league to win the Bundesliga
What a story
You mum comes back to me
Never write Bayern off just saying i've seen enough comebacks from them
Signing Eric Dier 😂
Tuchel got so lucky winning cl at chelsea
Liverpool are calling...
I feel for Kane because he fully deserves a league title in A league. That being said, screw Munchen, The Bundesliga needs a new champion and Leverkusen fully deserves it
Tuchel was awful today went with wing backs that got us exposed should’ve stuck with the 4-2-3-1 and let them boys go hunting smh 🤦🏽♂️
I totally agree with you. Why did Tuchel play a 3-5-2-1? Way exposed for Bayer Leverkusen's counterattack.
The real Xabineta
Great audition to be the next Liverpool manager.
Next Legendary manager of Royal Madrid
Feeling sorry for Kane.
If Xabi wins the Bundesliga, the Liverpool job is 100% his if he wants it.
He can even get the Everton job, if he wants it. Though I doubt Everton fans would want him.
Hes happy in Leverkusen, wait there till the RM spot available...
@@bbudimanalqodribro Ancelotti signed another 2 year extension so Xabi won't go there, only Liverpool is 100% vacant & he could go there easily
@@stevenmah2070 I know, thats why I said he should wait.
Xabi has contract with Leverkusen till 2026
He is cooking something. Hope he comes to madrid one day 🤞🏼
ALONSOPOOL congrats leverkusen 🎉🎉🎉
This is what happens when you don't produce quality German players and instead destroy the culture...
Tuchel parking the bus
Is it safe to say that Bayern spurs the bundesliga?
Congratulations
I blame this on Tuchel, his set up was wrong , his tactics was way off.
Where was harry kane against leverkusen? No Lewandowski no party
Kimmich on bench? Wat are u doing my tuchel😭
Kane 😂
Xabi showing Tuchel what a real coach does.
*Meant Xabi Alonso not Xavi Hernandez. Just two different spellings. My bad, fixed.
You compare bundesliga to la liga? Really? Xavi needs to compete with real madrid, atletico and surging girona. Bayern only competing with themselves.
Tuchel is great but Bayren isn't for him or his playstyle.. sadly.
I think he meant Xabi,
@@dinbachok6424Heus Talking about Xabi who is way better manager than xavi. Also the level of LaLiga dropped massively
