- Nobody has managed to beat Bayer Leverkusen so far this season, and most have lost while trying (including Bayern). But why?
In this video I talk about Xabi's football, ranging from his relationist tendencies to his intense Gegenpressing.

This is pro level analysis. You deserve a lot more exposure
Great video, very clear explanation! look forward to more
Thanks bro!
Seriously, a great video
If only you could put numbers or names on the red dots so it's easier to visualise but your analysis of leverkusen is the best so far ❤
Thanks for the tip!
This is a great video, exactly what I was looking for, new subscriber here!
Love the way you explain things
subscribed! very impressive. looking forward for more analysis about other teams.
This is gold!! Excelente trabalho brother
keep videos like this coming ... keep them come
love this
Its a fun futsal like style... seems a bit one dimensional, like city during mancini/pelegrini era.. somewhat like barca golden era too..
Alonso is Creating His Own Style of Football
Not quite. Diniz Silva's Fluminense have been doing this (with quite a bit more style) for a while now. I actually like the idea of relational football, as opposed to strict positional football because relational play affords players a lot more freedom to express themselves. But if Alonso's team, as it is now, meets a positional team like the current Manchester City or Arsenal, they would struggle.
You're new to football

They wont struggle against arsenal and city...
Look at the team with most possessions...all tiki taka coaches
@@ojvic7297 I think they would. The most telling characteristic of this Leverkusen side under Alonso is how they overload the strong side of the pitch and then do a quick switch to the weak side where a winger (most likely Grimaldo) is waiting in acres of space. Against positional play sides like Arsenal and Man City, the weak side winger would not be open because their system requires a player (any player) to be on every space. It would be only be possible to exploit _half spaces_ if there weren't such overloads on either side.
But that's theory. I've seen matches where the opposition refused to be baited into playing beehive football and kept their shape. In those cases Leverkusen were vulnerable to runs in behind and counterattacks. ManCity, for example, don't have real width, but they do have players like Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden who will look to exploit open spaces. They also have a #9 in Earling Haaland who will look to play off the shoulder of the CBs (and take them off the build up) and will look for long passes into space from the goalkeeper. Bottom line, against sides who control the ball well, Leverkusen will be forced to play low and mid blocks, just like everybody else. And good luck then.
@@Azabaxe80 only because they have better players
great video, from where do you get full matches for the analysis?
great video!
great job
Good analysis
I'm a subscriber because of this video love the breakdown.
Great analysis
Would love to see against Liverpool’s counter press & direct ball.
great analysis
Very nice video, many thanks!
A variation of the pep style that xabi witnessed first hand
nice in-depth analysis if the team bro, hope to see u do it on more teams later
Thanks a lot! More videos like this coming soon⌛
Arteta please
Hard defence and fierce counter attack by midfielder
Quality video
Demasiado buen video.
They have that never give up mentality. And luck is favouring them too.
They are the new Real Madrid 2.0
Damn bro cant wait to see you coach real madrid soon
Spanish approach is contributing to modern football even shaping it. It turns out that three defenders with more middle fielders gives teams ball possession and dominating the game. I prefer Guardiola’s box system which in deed my faculty team adopted it and going well so far. 7 matches 6 win and 1 lose 😀
Alonso's style is not derived from the Spanish _juego de posición_ . It's more like what we're seeing in South America, particularly in Brazil, that is pointedly opposed to positional play. And it could be argued that positional play, for practical purposes, started with Arrigo Sacchi's Milan teams of the late 80s.
Please upload all of Bayer Leverkusen 2023-24
Will love to see spaletti Napoli against this Bayer Leverkusen team
Bayern Munich should hire you,you will beat Xabi.

#halamadrid
Imagine Gyokeres from sporting the Sweden striker joined the team
They have a great striker in Boniface and a good backup in Schick.
Using the italian 2006 w..c tactics
very similar to Motta's 2-7-2
Shape is different but tactically reminds me of Artetas Arsenal.
49 unbeaten as of today 5/9/24
lets to try .... with Madrid and City
yeah..
They're passing like FIFA
Mourinho, anceloti, benitez his teacher
pep is his greatest teacher
Huh
you’re either Angolan or Portugese for sure
That is why the current MU team failed miserably and factually; very little possession skills, incapable of moving flexibly when opposition are pressing and can't make beautiful passess.
The MU back defenders are like the worst of worst, like stones, can't move swiftly, can't defend players who has possession, and incapable of running with the ball effectively to find space to provide good assist. Only a few good players are inside. Mainoo should move out, staying in MU will be detrimental to his career with clumsy defenders and lazy players.
The current ignorant & egostical MU team can't learn humbly to build up unity passes and maintain possession, they pay hundreds of thousands of these clowns walking around aimlessly only to keep losing the ball.
The current MU team with its current performance is disrespecting the legends of the past that have mastered the art of winning titles after titles. A totally disgrace.
Now Xabi Alonso's tactical knowledge is pure genius and superior. He took a club that has not won titles for many decades and transformed it within a year to win the Bundesliga title. What a beautiful transformation.
It shows ANY team with a good tactician, a strategist and an awesome manager like Xabi can transform the entire team effectively with hardwork, dedication, determination & patience.
Look at the garbage MU players - getting paid in millions to walk and stroll around like lazy bums only to lose time after time. A total disgrace.
Congrats to Xabi Alonso - the top-notch modern manager and the best of him is yet to come.
This current team - Bayern Leverkusen - will move ahead very far with their style of play. Will watch this team very closely.
Jose mourinho laugh with this analysis
This video is not available in Denmark lol
It got striked in some countries sadly...
Atalanta:
Possession...aand Gegenpressing...
Holding onto the ball...and pressing forward immediately...
That's not allowed
It sounds very familiar. There must be other teams that play like this. If only I could name ..5...or...10
Welcome to Liverpool
Jose mourinho beat him
With a team that he took at low table and not in the start of a season
@@yangkai5206 xabi become leverkusen manager when half season in PREVIOUS SEASON. Then after 22/23 season ended, he build his team again. No difference.
@@yangkai5206correct
It is football
Harry Kane will thank you if you join Bayern
Tiki-taka. Déjense de manipulacion. Cruff es su padre
too bad lost to Atalanta
Bro let them face a team outside of germany and europa lol
They are still undefeated and reach the Europa league final beating Roma 💥💥💥
Well let’s see them against top teams
Don’t even think about saying Bayern or bvb those clowns
City scared to face this team. Typical English team!
Cos they play in tbe german league where theres only 4 competitive teams. Hardly a miraculous feat. U lot jus listen to the sky sports hype. They stuggle and have to come from behind in most games. Most overrated team in football right now
Liverpool can beat them
man city, liverpool, arsenal, barcelona and real madrid
can easily beat this one season wonder team
this leverkusen just like leichester city win PL
one season wonder
Barca and Arsenal is going down
Mans tried to sneak in Barca 😂
