3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich


After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match. 

To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him. 

With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them. 

Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support. 

Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: 

Liverpool will give him 3-4 years to adapt to the English game- It will take some time for Xabi Alonso to get used to the fast-paced, English style of play. The intensity and speed of the game truly saps the manager's energy, and Alonso, like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, will require some time to adjust.

Unlike Bayern Munich, who will not accept being the underdog against any Bundesliga side, Liverpool will give him three to four years to completely revamp the current squad.


Legendary status will be cemented at Liverpool- Xabi Alonso will be immortalized as one of the greatest player and manager the club has ever seen. He will be rated as high as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish and Jurgen Klopp once he succeeds in winning the Premier League and Champions League. 

But at Bayern Munich, he will just be one of the many coaches they've had in the past.  

The Premier League is far superior to the Bundesliga- Bayern Leverkusen might have restored a bit of sanity in the German league by closing in on winning the Bundesliga title after Bayern Munich's 12-year dominance but everyone knows it's a fluke that will likely be corrected next season once Xabi Alonso is gone. 

Rather than move to easily predictable league, Xabi Alonso should seriously consider joining Liverpool where he will be competing against two of the finest Spanish managers in Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Mikel Arteta (Arsenal).

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
