Last season Bayer Leverkusen was in decline and Xabi Alonso came at the right time to save this team by improving and making this team's performance much better.
And at the start of this season, Xabi Alonso has been in the spotlight for many parties for his quite impressive performance with Leverkusen.
It's true that winning the Bundesliga is still very difficult, but at least I think it's very likely that Xabi Alonso will be able to bring the Leverkusen team to be able to compete fiercely at the top of the Bundesliga this season, that's good enough.
Xabi Alonso's main priority is to bring Bayer Leverkusen to become champions in the Bundesliga, but if at the end of the season Bayer Leverkusen is rivaled by Bayern Munich with a narrow point gap and only succeeded in being in second place in the standings. Obviously that won't be too bad for Bayer Leverkusen, who last season were only able to finish the season in the Europa League zone, so for this season Bayer Leverkusen has two gaps to get into the UCL.
