To replicate Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen tactics in Football Manager 2024, I start with a 3-4-2-1 formation with a positive mentality. As analyzed before, in the previous season, Xabi preferred building from the back and playing centrally to give more space to the two wing-backs positioned high and wide on the flanks. In the opponent's half, Leverkusen aimed to quickly reach the crossing zone to target the central striker or midfielders making late runs into the box. During transitions, Leverkusen aggressively pressed high to regain possession as quickly as possible, a key feature of Xabi Alonso's football that remains in this season too. Upon recovering the ball, they launched rapid counterattacks.
