Every Analyst is forgetting the influence del bosque had on Xabi. His usage of 2 attacking mid fielders (silva-iniesta) and pivot of xabi-busquets came from del bosque’s spain. Using of back 3 is something xabi learned outside of his player experience.

He speaks Spanish, German, English - with elements of all their football absorbed into his being... the Perfect Cell of management.

For me it's all about that midfield. Xhaka, Palacios, Wirtz truly can adapt to any game situation. They're tough, they're technical, they're dynamic, they're smart. Perfect balance.

Xhaka's redemption arc has been excellent. From being stripped of captaincy to becoming a fan's favourite and becoming a core member of Alonso's game. As a Gooner, I do miss him at the Emirates.

Their game with Augsburg in the dying seconds was absolutely phenomenal i can definitely agree that those guys can pass even in the tightest of spaces leading to the Palacios goal Augsburg box was so congested but still leverkusen passed the ball like it was nothing. Xabi ball ladies and gentlemen Xabi ball indeed 🫨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Leverkusen just beat Leipzig at their stadium in the most dramatic fashion possible. Please do an analysis of that match! :)

Xabi Alonso in Liverpool would make the fans so happy. He is a great trainer and he himself once said that he feels Liverpool is his 2nd home.

Get the Bundesliga Leverkusen, get the Bundesliga Xabi!

Finally!! A tactical analysis of a team that is not a Premier League team, Real or Barcelona.Of course, you should continue with analysis of those teams and games I'm just trying to say that,if you can do it you should cover more teams and more leagues.Keep it going!

This Leverkusen team is without a doubt one of the best Bundesliga sides in recent history. In my eyes they are the best Bundesliga squad since Guardiola's Bayern days (with Xabi as a player). They easily dominate most games and if they have a bad half they can adjust exceptionally well during half time. It so fun to watch them

Excellent video. Most football channels covering Alonso's Leverkusen get a few things wrong (which is natural when you don't watch every match, I guess), but here I didn't notice any mistakes (minus some obvious oversights like labeling Boniface "Hradecky"). Instead, you manage to explain Alonso's style in an easy-to-follow yet comprehensive manner while giving crucial background information. Massive kudos.

Leverkusen is a perfect example of brilliant positionings on the pitch. This vid shows it absolutely right, but a good plan is just as good as its fulfillment and they are brilliant in this. From that they gain self confidence to play out and defend out the opposite. Its pure fun to watch, even if its not my team. Great work.

He’s the only man out there that can ease the sadness of LFC fans. He can’t replace Klopp but he can definitely do a good job :(

this was really good tactical analysis thank you

He fits so well with the players liverpool already has. trent as frimpong, mac allister as xhaka, szobo as wirtz, and ball playing cbs in vvd and konate

The truth is that every manager in football currently plays a back 3 despite the formation on paper. Tuchel and Conte showed the beauty of a back 3 to the max😊

If Liverpool replace Klopp with Alonso it'll be really interesting to see how certain players will react to his methods. We've pretty much never played a conventional three at the back system under Klopp. For the most part I'm going to need some time to look at the players we've currently got and see how they would fit in with him, but I can be confident that Nunez would absolutely cook under Alonso. Nunez seems to have similar attributes to Boniface, just needs to sort out his finishing.

That this works with all the new players they got, it's truly genius from Xabi. Everything worked exactly like he planned.

Alonso also had a father who was a manager and player who brought him to work, Mourinho said it

Can you do a video on thiago motta and the job he has done in bologna

Would love to see a video deep dive on how you produce videos like these… Wow nice work.

I looked forward to your analysis of Xavis tactics!

With all these powerful tactics he build he will surely lifting the Bundesliga trophy.🥇🏆🔥💪⚽ Hey please do a video with the Madrid derby ok how Realmarid take advantage to beat Atlectico into the super cup semi-final and how tactical Atlectico Mardrid revenge back Realmarid into the round 4 stage into the Copa del Rey to advance to the quarter final.

Fit tottenham vs leverjusen will be hell of a match

If y'all are really keen, you'll realize that 3 back formations are really good and tough for the opposition to best it.

Interesting to see the back 3 that can transition to a back 4 when one of the wide men drop back, reminds me of what Trent has started doing. Already feels like a good fit.

Now imagine these were Chelsea’s players.. Nkunku/Carney for wirtz, Palmer for hoffman, Enzo/lavia for xaka, caicedo for palacios, disasi/fofana for the right sided center back, Colwil/Silva for their central center back, Badiashile for the left sided center back, gusto/james for frimpong and mudryk/ chilwel for Grimaldo

Fantastic analysis!

Whos’s here after the Klopp news😭

Awesome video man

0:56 you have a wrong name under Boniface and at 5:52 number 20 should be in the box too. Great video!

i cant be the only liverpool fan watching this? i need to learn about our future manager😭

I can see already how great Trent, Mac and Dom ae fitting there

Welcome to Liverpool Xabi 😉. Great analysis, and thank you 👍

Hi Bro. Thank you for providing such detailed analytics. I have a suggestion for you. You can stand out from other analysts by making some WHAT IF scenarios as well! For ex: City vs leverkrusen!!! or Bayern vs City!!! Lets see how this turn out! I am pretty sure you can excel in that as well buddy. And create something which no one has ever tried :)

this is why I always said Alonso is the best football player I've ever seen.

I think he can achieve this „greatness“ at Leverkusen. It doesn’t look like that they will lose much players. And they can also improve their squad again in the summer. Leverkusen could really be a serious title contender in the champions league

your inro to this video is great

The analysis that Ive been waiting for ❤. But, could it be too much if the analysis is compared with Seoane's play strategy?

I haven’t seen the video but I like it already

Wonderful

When Xabi moves to a top club, like Liverpool, Bayern or Real Madrid, I doubt he will play that 3-4-2-1 formation because all of them traditionally play 4 with the back. It would be very interesting to see how he fits his principles in a back 4 formation because his current Leverkusen formation was adopted to get the best out of Frimpong.

Give us indepth analysis on some coaches for LIverpool. Amorim, Unai, Velvede, Nagelsman or any

Who’s here after the Klopp new lol

I have been waiting for a football made simple video of bayer leverkuzen fir so long😊,finally

its awesome !

Really hoping Chelsea can get him. Chelsea are perfectly set up for his system. Colwill is a great left centre back and there are not many better still than Thiago Silva in playing out from the back. Enzo and Caicedo is an upgrade on what he’s done with Palacios and Xhaka. James and Chilwell have always contributed so much in wingback position just need to get better backups. Also Nkunku and Palmer would be great 10’s behind a player like Osimhen. Chelsea have got so many of the qualities just need a top striker and a top manager to put the piece in place

Pure wickedness from Xabi.....his tactical disposition is pure genius

Nice set up but for very compact team from EPL they might not find it easy against lower teams in EPL who won't give much room and are very good in set pieces there are also very technical players who can hit them on a counter and create serious 1v1 situations with their 3 main CBs which can be very dangerous and can lead to goals

like this if you’re a liverpool fan watching this after today’s news 💀

I’ve tried most of your tactics on football manager I got to a ucl final with rb Leipzig with the Real Madrid mourinho tactic!

Greatness indeed he did it 🎉

Watching this on the day Jürgen Klopp announced he's leaving Liverpool, Friday 26th January 2024. I'm looking for insight into Alonso's managing style and what he might bring IF he becomes Liverpool's next man at the helm, I'm liking the style, in all honesty after watching this video, ALOT. Let's not jinx anything here but once again, IF he becomes manager of Liverpool, I'm going full gun's blazing and saying he ends up being a brilliant choice and wins us a premier League within 2 seasons of arrival. I hope this age's well!

How the video starts with some eugenics, great...

A future real Madrid coach .. I like the 3 defenders formation and I think all modern football is labelled with it because of its flexibility for offensive and defensive mode at the same time

Can you do analysis on japan vs bahrain just now? The game look very intense.

Do a video on girona.

Could you analyse Bolognas Motta

0:51 - Xabi Alonso is such a genius that he is even able to clone Frimpong and make him play in two different positions at the same time. We are going to see two Trent Arnolds in Liverpool - one as a right-wing back and the other as a bench warmer.

I'm really happy for him and can't wait enough to have him at Madrid again.

Whose here after Jurgen's announcement

He is incredible

0:56 Hradecky as Goalkeeper and Striker... I wonder how that works

Palacios is injured for now. And they have some really good players unavailable to them due to the Africa cup. Including their best scorer, Boniface. The next matches will be tough. Especially the match against Bayern.

Should have had Mou whispering to Xabi a la Inter 😂. Cool thumbnail though

Bro can you do a tactical analysis for Barcelona B Rafa marquis

this is like how tuchel's chelsea was played

Hehe won 3-2 last night. Winner in the extra time! Go Xabi❤❤

Leverkusen aren’t stopping Even with all the key players lost, they still found a way to score 3 goals against Leipzig

Every Liverpool fan praying rn for him to be next. ❤

Versatile player are important nowadays than before

This ages well

Who’s here after Klopp just announced he’s leaving Liverpool 😭

His style is made for Liverpool 2.0 👀

Lmao you hit the algo jackpot now mate.

DO ANALYSIS OF ANY AFCON MATCH PLEASE I AM FROM 🇹🇿

Luis Aragones and Vicente Del Bosque....... are two you need to add that influenced Xabi Alonso.... Euros and World Cup!

I'm afraid Bayern will steal the Bundesliga from them 😭

Is that a Rinnegan I see in the thumbnail?

Please review el Clasico

Defensive preparations for opposition is becoming harder and harder day by day as leverkusen is growing manifold. Take a bow alonso❤❤

This is exactly what Antonio Conte was doing when he introduced 3-4-3 to Chelsea, they always change shape to 4-4-2, 4-3-3 during play.

It seems holding midfielder make good coaches. E g Pep and xabi. I wonder why andrea pirlo is not into coaching. I am rooting for Rodri

Tactic 101 , feels like im watching a lecturer 😂 , and im really into it

Alonso to replace Klopp at Liverpool this summer?

Very similar to how Atalanta use to play with Papu Gomez in the team 😢

Patterns, combinations, patterns wise, well Xabi's Bayer is pretty much a classic back 3 model, nothing too innovative really. But in the core, Xabi's system is an one-man army type around Florian Wirtz. But Xabi's Bayer resembles something that Obi-Wan Kenobi says, a fight is not really a fight, it is only a distraction and can only be countered by a larger distraction. Bayer has too many distractions that makes pocketting Wirtz literally impossible. And therefore, this team is freaking OP. Management side, well i can firmly assure that Xabi is a technical coach like Tuchel and Pep, rather than being a manager like Ancelotti and Zidane. But really, this guy has an amazing status that even superstars cannot mess with him. Xabi was the defensive midfielder second only to Sergio Busquets, Xabi's technique with the ball was second only to Busquets, and he still maintains a ridiculous level of technique, plus his understanding in football as a former player, not mentioning his superstar stature. So he basically needs to care about training and drilling players and nothing else. If anyone has watched his passing video when training first touches for the players, you will understand.

Does anyone know a channel that analyzes Real Madrid matches?

Anyone here after the Jurgen announcement? 😬

Our new coach

He should come to Liverpool.😢

my ideal world: fsg should whatever ot takes to bring ANGE. but i'm happy with alonso or dezerbi. klopp living legend. i support liverpoool bcz of him.

Girona and Leverkusen should win their respective titles this season.

So sexy so smart so beautiful and also poster boy of Leverkusen though he's manager And a shear tactician with shear patience intelligence and analysing power⚡⚡⚡ Live long in Leverkusen to make the club more accomplished and blessed🙏🙏

This reminds me so much of tuchels chelsea

I would love it if he were to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for 3-5 more years. If he can show his skill with the ability to keep producing results even with a high squad turnover, then a club will believe in him more and give him a long term project like a Jurgen Klopp.

Welcome to LFC xabi ❤

The Leverkusen revolutioner

Who did you say managed Ancelotti?

Hradecky is second coming of Jorge Campos and playing as a striker and goalie simultaneously
