Leverkusen started the season really horrible. They are still far away from the top positions now. Xabi Alonso's arrival has started to change something by the recent weeks though. They won their last three games. But their road is really full of obstacles until reaching top 4. I have big doubts about their making it there.
Xabi Alonso has starting his debut with once win from 4 matches in Bundesliga even i thought probably he will going to sacked soon because Leverkusen has unable to performing well and everything was change since last month that on November Leverkusen can able to gets 3 wins with unbeatable status on that month i think this is indicated Leverkusen under him was able to bounce back
But Xabi Alonso currently focus to avoid relegation zone so he aren't thinking european zone for now and try to be realistic with the current position of Leverkusen and indeed difference points with Dortmund which in the 6th positions on standings league still possible to chased but considering other teams such as Leipzig, Union Berlin and Frankfurt who able to performing well makes Leverkusen will be hard to achieve top 4
