Leverkusen's Alonso Praises Team's Efficiency in Feyenoord Rout
Xabi Alonso Lauds His Team's Clinical Performance
Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso praised his team's clinical performance in their 3-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord on Thursday. The victory sees Leverkusen maintain their perfect start to the group stage, with two wins from two games.
Alonso's side dominated the match from start to finish, with Moussa Diaby, Robert Andrich, and Amine Adli all finding the net. The coach was particularly pleased with his team's efficiency in front of goal, especially after they wasted several chances in their opening group game against Zurich.
Leverkusen Seize Control Early On
Leverkusen took the lead after just 10 minutes when Diaby finished off a fine team move. The French winger latched onto a pass from Jeremie Frimpong and fired a low shot into the bottom corner. Leverkusen continued to press forward and doubled their lead in the 28th minute when Andrich headed home from a corner.
Adli's Strike Seals the Win
The hosts wrapped up the win in the second half when Adli curled a beautiful shot into the top corner. The Moroccan midfielder had only been on the pitch for a few minutes but made an immediate impact. Alonso was delighted with Adli's contribution and said that he will continue to give the youngster opportunities to impress.
Alonso Satisfied with Team's Progress
Overall, Alonso was satisfied with his team's performance and said that they are making good progress under his leadership. "I am very happy with the team's efficiency in front of goal tonight," said Alonso. "We created a lot of chances and took our opportunities. We are still a young team, but we are learning and improving all the time." Leverkusen will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
