“I would question the size of his chicken breasts!”
Xabi Alonso has been accused of “bottling” by Richard Keys after revealing he will stay at Bayer Leverkusen for the foreseeable future.
Alonso has had an impressive spell at Bayer Leverkusen, becoming one of the most popular managers in the world. The Spaniard has been heavily linked with roles at Liverpool and Bayern Munich that are about to become vacant.
He was even tipped to be Carlo Ancelotti's successor at Real Madrid, but instead announced that he still had unfinished business with his current employer.
But Keys feels he's wasting his opportunity and says this may be the only time he's had so many high-profile clubs courting him.
Keys told BeIN Sports: “Alonso announced yesterday that he was going to stay. In my opinion, it was a huge mistake. At any other time in history, jobs at Liverpool, Munich, Manchester United, maybe Real Madrid will appear again.
“Now he can make his own choice. At no other stage in his career would he have been in this luxury position. He might have joined Real Madrid at another time and now is a good time to join Real Madrid.
“I would question the size of his chicken breasts. Lester Kusen, because Bayer Leverkusen will never have another season like this again. Bayern Munich will ensure they have another decade of dominance in German football next year, Leicester Vorkusen might lift the odd trophy here or there.
“Now that his stock price is at an all-time high, his opportunity is broader and bigger than it's ever been, and I think he's taken advantage of it.”

“My work is not over yet”
Talking about his decision to stay, Alonso said: “I believe it is the right decision and I am very happy.
“I want to reflect on this during the international break. The players have given me many reasons to continue to believe in them – their commitment, their desire, their desire. My work is not over yet. It is not right to talk about other clubs of.”
