Alonso survival at Leverkusen certainly makes the hopes of a big team recruiting Alonso dashed at this time, but staying at Leverkusen will also provide a big challenge for Alonso to be able to maintain Leverkusen performance next season, apart from the Bundesliga, of course at this time many parties are starting to be curious about Leverkusen ability later in the Champions League, so that if Alonso fails to make Leverkusen better next season, of course everyone will thinking that Leverkusen achievements this season are only limited to luck for a novice coach.

True, this will actually be a double-edged sword for Xabi Alonso with his decision to stay at Leverkusen. The reason is that if he can maintain his performance consistently then he will achieve a big name as a coach, but if something bad happens, for example they don't play well, then it will tarnish his name a little, because people will think that what he achieved in this season is due to sheer luck.
I also saw that Xabi wanted to prove himself so he decided to stay with Leverkusen. I think one of his goals is that he wants to silence people who think that what he achieved was most likely due to luck alone. That is one of Xabi Alonso's ambitions in my opinion.

I hope he can propel the team as Xabi Alonso did in Bayern Leverkusen last season.

I guess that Vincent Kompany will be make the same as Xabi Alonso did in Leverkusen last season.
What Alonso and the players did at Leverkusen was unique and will be not coming so fast again.
For sure Kompany is and will be under pressure and its not easy at Munich.
I think that he will be not long there as a coach.

I don't think he has to do the same thing as what Xabi did, because they definitely have different ways to improve the team's performance. Moreover, their situation is also different, it could be said that with a squad that is not luxurious, Xabi can show a good performance with Leverkusen and if we compare it with the squad that Vincent Kompany has now, we will definitely see that the Bayern Munich squad is better than Leverkusen.
If you look at it on paper, Vincent Kompany's task should be easier with the existing squad, but again this cannot be seen from paper alone, but we have to look at the quality of strategy a coach has.
