Xabi Alonso was asked about his smart tactical decision at Bayer Leverkusen.
Xabi Alonso has opened up about a small tactical detail that has helped his Bayer Leverkusen produce a record-breaking season.
Alonso guided his side to a first-ever Bundesliga title, obliterating their rivals and ending Bayern Munich's 11-year stranglehold on the league.Leverkusen have played exceptionally well all season, although they have bailed themselves out with late goals on more than one occasion. Shooting in the opposite direction, and not having that added support, might have helped Leverkusen to overcome teams late in matches on so many occasions.When asked to explain the trend, Alonso simply said: "Lukas is wise enough to know what to do."
"When you can decide, it is better to take your own decisions that what the opponent is doing."Having already won the Bundesliga, Leverkusen will complete a historic treble if they beat Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League final on May 22 and Kaiserslautern in the DFB Pokal final on May 25.
