Who you might ask? You have heard of Bayern Munich and last seasons finalists Borussia Dortmund from Germany however who are Leverkusen?

With a potential 2158% return if they win, this Hooligan see’s a screaming opportunity to 20X your Dollars.

Last season they bucked the trend in Germany and not only won every domestic competition, they were unbeaten in the league thru 34 games (Arsenal fans, remember the good old invincible days?) and made it to the final of the Europa League to sadly just lose out to Italians Atalanta, a truly impressive feat.

Naturally you ask why? Must be oil money, a youth system with a conveyer belt of talent feeding them, or perhaps a rich heritage they have rediscovered?

No, the answer is down to one man – their Manager Xabi Alonso.

Xabi was a Rolls Royce of a player, central midfielder, silky touch and was a pass master.

You know those players around all sports that just seem to win wherever they go, and all the experts say there is a reason they win all the time, well Xabi was just that, a natural born winner, he won everything:

1 World Cup & 2 Euro’s with Spain

2 Champions leagues with Liverpool & Real Madrid

3 German Leagues with Bayern Munich

1 Spanish League with Real Madrid

Plus countless personal accolades

Xabi Alonso – The New Special One?

Listen to why Jose saw such potential in Xabi when we was his coach at Real Madrid.

This past summer Alonso was a white hot front runner to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager, however he declined all advances. There were a slew of other offers, all rejected by Alonso to have a follow on season with Leverkusen and take them all the way perhaps?

It is rumored that he really wants the Real Madrid top job, however he is waiting for when Carlo Ancelotti steps down (His contract runs out at the end of the season).

They face French side Brest in game week three and I am backing them to go all the way, they have the pedigree under Xabi and know how to win and with their confidence and momentum from last season rolling into this season.
