I think Xabi Alonso is making good decisions to improve his team before difficult games. He has to be careful about who he chooses because Leverkusen does not have a lot of money. Even though he has done well with Leverkusen I am also worry that they do not have as much money as big clubs like Bayern Munich. But I still believe in Alonso ability to succeed despite these challenges. He is a smart coach who can get best out of his players and that will help Leverkusen compete with the bigger teams. I think he will find ways to overcome financial limitations and lead his team to victory.
The financial differences between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich were proven last season and this fact should still be able to continue Leverkusen's success next season. I think as long as a team can adapt to its competitors who have certainly made improvements then they won't feel left behind either.
Next season Leverkusen will be challenged to maintain its consistency not only in the Bundesliga but in the UCL competition that they will be taking part in, it will also require Xabi Alonso and his players to be able to give their best. Bayern Munich will certainly try to regain its dominance from Leverkusen by any means possible. Bayern Munich's finances are always sufficient but Leverkusen may have to sell players and risk not being able to maintain the balance they already have. Everyone will be wondering if Leverkusen is able to stay on track for next season and personally I want to see how far Leverkusen competes in the Champions League next season.
