When I heard that Xabi Alonso had decided to stay with Leverkusen, there was a high sense of optimism that they had for the next season, even though we were worried that Leverkusen performance would decline significantly from this season. A risky courage was taken by Xabi Alonso when he decided to stay together, apart from the reason of wanting to hone his skills to be better, in fact Xabi Alonso also saw the opportunity for them to achieve success again. For some people, his courage to refuse tempting offers from clubs like Bayern Munchen and Liverpool is questionable, but on the other hand, Xabi Alonso has shown a quite rare attitude towards all of us, not just limited to loyalty. It's about faith and mutual trust that together they can repeat a season as impressive as this one, so that they will be able to overcome any challenges.
It was a wise decision to stay at Leverkusen because when Xabi Alonso chose to look for a new challenge in a new team, he could not guarantee that he would be as successful as at Bayern Leverkusen.
Then, Xabi's decision to stay put a stop to the practice that often circulated when clubs with lots of money could bring in a coach like Xabi Alonso.
Alonso also received the assessment that he is not a coach who is easily tempted by offers of big money.
This season he has been very successful. We'll see how it performs. This season he will be successful in the Bundesliga, but he will not necessarily be successful in a competition like the European League which still has strong teams like our favorite team, Liverpool, the former club that Xabi once played for.
