Bayer Leverkusen’s head coach, Xabi Alonso, expressed admiration for the stellar performance of Moroccan international Amine Adli in the Bundesliga clash against Heidenheim (2-1). Adli, who scored and provided a decisive assist during the match, has garnered praise from Alonso after returning from the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023.
Addressing the media in the post-match press conference, Xabi Alonso highlighted the positive influence of Amine Adli on the team. “After the AFCON, we have more options in defense and attack. Amine is in good shape; we need his energy, his quality, his flair, and his deep runs,” Alonso stated.
Bayer Leverkusen currently holds the top position in the Bundesliga, amassing 58 points from 22 matches played, maintaining an undefeated streak with 18 victories and 4 draws.
Amine Adli’s contributions to the team have been notable, with 2 goals and 4 assists in 13 appearances in the German league this season.
The Lion of the Atlas has seamlessly integrated back into Bayer Leverkusen’s squad, showcasing his prowess and adding value to the team’s success in the ongoing Bundesliga campaign.
