Xabi Alonso: ‘Not winning treble with Bayer Leverkusen will make me a better manager'

In life, as in soccer, it’s often said that it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. A soccer team and its coach have become a testament to that. This season, they have exceeded expectations and achieved unprecedented success. The team’s unbeaten domestic league season and two trophies have changed its perception from “Neverkusen” to “Neverlusen.” The coach attributes the team’s success to player development and tactical adaptability. The team’s strategic transfers and a blend of gritty and dynamic players have propelled them to victory. This extraordinary season has rewritten records and brought immense pride to the team and its coach. Although they fell short of a treble, their achievements have showcased the quality and competitiveness of the Bundesliga. The coach believes that the league should focus on performing well, reaching finals, and nurturing young talents to gain a global audience and challenge other European leagues. The coach’s accomplishments have garnered attention, but he emphasizes his current commitment and bonds with his team.
