In the second half of the 2001/2002 season Bayer played the best second half of it’s club history, only topped by Red Bull Leipzig by a few goals.
One summerbreak later they had their worst start into a season ever.
But they already had great potential before Alonso came and if Wirtz wouldn’t have been injured, who knows what could have happened with Seoane in that season.
Even after Alonso arrived they didn’t really win games before Wirtz came back and even later in the season they struggled when he didn’t play.
So yeah, Alonso is doing exceptional work and right now they are playing as a team with such a dominance like they didn’t play since Topmöller, maybe even better.
But that he picked the team up on the 17th place is only part of the story.

Do you mean 2021/2022? Pretty sure there was no RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga back in 2001/2002
Such a bizarre post because they got to the CL final in 2002, so yes they did play their best ever football in 2002.
But obviously Leipzig wasnt there and they didnt play their best ever football in 2022, seeing as they were better in 2002.
