Unai Emery and Xabi Alonso They make magic with the controls of astonville and the Bayer Leverkusen. Both reached their respective teams at a delicate moment and managed to pull them from the coals -the Germans were weak-excited about playing in Europe next season, or what is the same, a meteoric progression that speaks of the wonders of their work as a technician.
Emery, criticized for his signing
Emery was criticized when he left Villarreal on October 24 to join Aston Villa, who at the time occupied the 15th place in the Premier League, three points from relegation. The Gipuzkoan did not hesitate and packed his bags to replace Steven Gerrard, who did not achieve the expected goals.
Since his debut, Emery has already shown what he can do by winning matches Manchester Utd in his debut with his new team (3-1). After this success, there were 10 more wins and two more draws in the 17 Premier League games he played with Villa.
In addition, the ‘villains’ are now sixth, a position that a priori should qualify them for the Europa League, after a streak of massive streak of 6 wins and a draw in the last 7 games (19 of 21 points). And it is that Emery has not lost in the league since mid-February.
Xabi Alonso hit the key in Leverkusen
For its part, the work of Xabi Alonso in front of Bavaria Leverkusen it’s even better than Emery. He took the team to the penultimate position and is currently in sixth position What is the value of his playing at Conference League next season.
The man from Tolosa landed in the ‘aspirin’ team at the beginning of October and started his career beating Schalke 4-0. Since, he has 12 wins and two draws in 19 games with the German team.
Xabi Alonso and his Leverkusen went through a beautiful moment of formlinking five straight wins and a draw (16 out of 18 points), and like Emery, they haven’t lost in the Bundesliga since mid-February.
Both coaches have worked hard to revive two teams below their potential and guide them towards the elite based on results.
