At 00:30 on September 29, in the 5th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will face Bayer Leverkusen. Ahead of the match, Leverkusen’s head coach Alonso attended a press conference.
Alonso said, “All players are available for selection, there are no injuries, and Palacios is ready to start.”
“Bayern has had a very strong start to this season, brimming with energy and quality. The impact of Kompany on the team so far has been positive. Tomorrow will be a huge challenge for us. We need to stay highly focused for 90 minutes and be prepared for any situation. This is an important match. Playing at the Allianz Arena might be the toughest match in the Bundesliga for us this season, but we are looking forward to it. We want to perform well and be competitive. We know that to take points away from the Allianz Arena, we need almost a perfect performance. We are prepared for that.”
“How to solve our defensive issues? It needs to be addressed as a whole, not just by the defenders. We need to be compact as a team, collectively understanding when to press high and when to defend deep. We also need clear ball possession strategies. For this, we need a very comprehensive, almost perfect performance tomorrow. But what is certain is that if we lack intensity in duels and have too much space between players, playing at the Allianz Arena will be very difficult.”
