Alonso set 4 records! Mourinho is a god: 5 years ago, the prophecy came true, and the vision is vicious

Xavi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen won the 2023-24 Bundesliga title!

After a 5-0 sweep of Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen scored 79 points in 29 Bundesliga games and officially achieved the status of king of the Bundesliga. The 30,000 fans at the Bayer Arena flocked to the stadium to enjoy the historic moment with the whole team.

For the 42-year-old, it was the first major trophy of his managerial career. Fans around the world have witnessed the rise of a handsome star: after only one and a half years in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso pulled Bayern Munich down and led Leverkusen to the first Bundesliga title in team history.

Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen, breaking new records:

Bayer Leverkusen, founded in 1904, won the first Bundesliga title in team history, the first time in 120 years;

After 31 years, Bayer Leverkusen once again lifted the championship trophy. The last time the pharmaceutical company won the championship was the German Cup in 1993;

This season's Bayer Leverkusen, unbeaten in 42 games in all competitions, the longest unbeaten start in the five major leagues;

The Bundesliga started unbeaten in 29 games, surpassing Bayern's 28-game unbeaten start in the Bundesliga in 2013-14.

Debut is the peak, Alonso's ability has been recognized by the giants. Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid all see Longo as their future manager. However, Alonso decided to stay at the pharmaceutical factory next season and continue to settle.

The heights reached by Alonso are breathtaking. Perhaps, everyone would have thought that Alonso would be an excellent coach, but the ease of overturning Bayern's dominance was still unexpected by many.

Jose Mourinho, who once coached Alonso, has always been optimistic about Alonso. In January 2019, Jose Mourinho decided Alonso was bound to succeed.

"Alonso's life has been accompanied by a good manager, similar to me. His father (Perrico Alonso) was a player and later a coach. Alonso became a player, certainly much better than me. ”

'Alonso's understanding of football is at a very high level. Alonso played in Spain, England, Germany, Pep Guardiola at Bayern, me and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and Benitez at Liverpool. ”

"If you put all these factors together, I can conclude that Alonso is going to be a top coach. ”

Mourinho's prediction came true five years later. You must know that Alonso in 2019 was only the coach of Real Madrid's youth team, and he has been in the coaching position for less than half a year and has not achieved any results. However, Mourinho believes that Alonso has a top ball quotient, excellent thinking and understanding skills, and learns from Benitez, Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, and Guardiola.
