For a long time he acted as if the unbeaten record left him cold. But after the 33rd game without a competitive defeat in a row, Bayer coach Xabi Alonso is almost a little emotional.
Xabi Alonso is now proud of his team Bayer Leverkusen’s competitive match record. “I had no interest in it before, but now I enjoy it. I’m proud of it,” said Alonso after the 2-1 (1-1) win against FSV Mainz 05. It was the 33rd for the Bundesliga leaders. Play consecutive games without defeat. No Bundesliga team had ever achieved this before.
With 32 games without defeat between December 2019 and September 2020, FC Bayern set the previous record. “I also have to congratulate my players. “That’s a great achievement,” said the Bayer coach. “It is truly a pleasure to work with them.”
With Leverkusen, Alonso currently has a great chance of becoming German champions for the first time in the history of the factory club. After matchday 23, the leader’s lead over runner-up Bayern Munich will be at least eight points. Nevertheless, Alonso remained cautious.
“At some point the moment will come to talk about it. But it’s not now,” Alonso said. “Let’s see how far it goes.”
