Xabi Alonso fumes 'no long balls' at his Bayer Leverkusen stars

Xabi Alonso was praised for 'practicing what he's preached' during training with his Bayer Leverkusen squad as the former midfield maestro showcased his skills while instructing his team on passing drills. Alonso led Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title this season with the newly-crowned champions maintaining their unbeaten record and qualifying for the Europa League semi-finals. The former Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich star is currently preparing his side of title-winners for a weekend clash against Stuttgart before traveling to Italy to face Roma. A viral video clip shows Alonso becoming frustrated with his players before moving from the side-lines to get involved in the ball-playing drill himself.
