Champions League: Xabi Alonso Hails 'Efficient' Bayer Leverkusen After Feyenoord Rout
Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso praised his side's German efficiency after the Bundesliga champions dispatched Dutch side Feyenoord 4-0 in Thursday's Champions League rout. "It may have looked pretty easy, but it's really not," Alonso told reporters after his team cruised to four first-half goals to break the Dutch resistance. He said it took Leverkusen some time to come to terms with Feyenoord's pressing game but after that "the first half was really complete." The German giants were 4-0 up by the half-time whistle, from only five shots on goal.
