Xabi Alonso has indeed made many news media continue to report on him because of his greatness in making positive changes to the Leverkusen club. Even though he failed in the Europa League final, we still see everyone's appreciation for Xabi Alonso. Because that was the only defeat for Leverkusen in the season that just finished.
The real challenge will be in the UCL next season. And Xabi Alonso must be prepared for a stronger level of opponent in the UCL. And if you look at Leverkusen's current quality, Leverkusen's potential in the UCL is actually quite good. At least I'm sure this team will make it to the last 16 in the UCL. And even if they fail to qualify from the group qualifying round, at least this team can return to the European League. But I'm sure Xabi Alonso will take Leverkusen further in the UCL.
Another challenge is for the Leverkusen club itself, which certainly cannot afford to lose great players who have contributed greatly to their success last season. And actually, currently many Leverkusen players are being targeted by big clubs in this player transfer window. And even one of Leverkusen's key players, Jeremie Frimpong, who is Leverkusen's right wing-back, is also being contested in the current transfer window. because several clubs from the Premier League are approaching him, including Manchester City, who are also reported to want the player. And from La Liga I also heard that Barcelona is also trying to bring in this player. And my worry is that if Leverkusen lose a lot of their key players in the transfer Window I'm afraid the club won't be able to bring in better replacements.
