Xabi Alonso vows to fight to the end for Bayern Munich title

Leverkusen will face Bochum at the BayArena in the new round of the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso said that Leverkusen will do its best to compete with title rivals Bayern Munich and will fight until the last minute.

In the last round of the league, with goals from Frimpong, Inkapiye and Patrik Schick, Leverkusen finally reversed the game and defeated Stuttgart 4-3 away from home.

After achieving 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds, Leverkusen is currently ranked 2nd in the standings with 56 points, 6 points behind first-placed Bayern Munich, and the race for the championship is extremely fierce.

Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said in an interview, "This game is extremely important for us. We know clearly what we have to do, that is to fight to the end. We now have the opportunity to reduce Bayern Munich's lead to 3 points, but first we must seize this opportunity."

"We want to put as much pressure on Bayern Munich as possible. If we win and get three points, we will be in a better position. This is the goal and idea we should have when facing Bochum."

Xabi Alonso continued, "It's almost April now, and I have always emphasized that if we can still be in the championship race in April, then it's time to fight for the championship. It's certainly not easy, but our fighting spirit and desire are still there."

When asked about his future as a coach, Xabi Alonso said, "There is nothing to decide. This international break is a good break for us. The first week is to rest and the second week is to focus on the next game. I have already said that my full focus and that of the players will be on the present."

"We shouldn't think too much about the future, but play one game at a time. That's my focus, and the players' focus is the same. I will only focus on this season and not think about other things for the time being."
