(German football) The man in the shadow of Xabi Alonso
#1
With the huge sucesses Bayer had this season, almost all of football sucial media talks only about xabi alonso.

Everyone keeps forgetting the man who brought Xabi in:

Simon Rolfes!

Not only gambled he sucessfully with instating a head coach with almost no experience, he also made a perfect team for xabi to work with.
Super talents like Boniface combined with the experience of Xhaka, Hofmann and Grimaldo. A masterclass!

What do you think were the key factors for Bayers sucess this season?



#2
Definitely a few key factors to name a few - 

  • Xabi Alonso’s coaching
  • Strong squad with good depth and winning mentality 
  • Bayern Munich having a poor season also contributes 

All round it’s going to be interesting how next season goes especially since Xabi alonso will be staying as head coach
