Xabi Alonso: 'It's December; the Table Means Nothing'
Bayer Leverkusen's head coach, Xabi Alonso, downplayed the significance of league standings in December, emphasizing the importance of consistent performance following their 2-0 victory over Augsburg.
Bayer Leverkusen secured a 2-0 away win against FC Augsburg, with first-half goals from Amine Adli and Florian Wirtz. This victory narrowed the gap to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich to four points, after Bayern's defeat to 1. FSV Mainz 05.
Despite the favorable outcome, head coach Xabi Alonso remained cautious about title discussions. In the post-match press conference, he stated, "It's December; the table means nothing." Alonso expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, highlighting their excellent dynamics and control during the match.
Alonso's focus is on maintaining the team's momentum and dynamics, which were evident in both the recent win over Augsburg and the previous Champions League match against Inter Milan. He emphasized the importance of sustaining this level of play in upcoming fixtures.
