I agreed with you that even if Leverkusen focuses on the Bundesliga, they can't win it this season. The points difference between them and Bayern Munich is not that much, but I am confident that Bayern Munich will never allow that. In fact, I will say that Bayern Munich is still stronger than Leverkusen.What Leverkusen should do now is target the players they would like to sign for next season to strengthen their team. If Leverkusen had signed more quality players this season, as they did when they won against Bayern last season, they might have had a better chance of winning this season's games. I believe they would have been stronger than they are now.I wish they could get quality players to strengthen their team further. If not, it is possible that it will take Leverkusen a long time before they get another opportunity to win the Bundesliga again.
For the results, we'll just have to see at the end of the season, which team will really lift the Bundesliga trophy, because the most important thing right now is how Xabi Alonso can maintain his team's consistency and his players' performance well. Bayern Leverkusen must not lose until the season really ends, regardless of whether in the middle of the journey Bayern Leverkusen can shift Bayern Munich from the top position or not, the most important thing is that Leverkusen has shown that they are always strong competitors in winning the Bundesliga title.
And regarding your opinion that Leverkusen is currently better off focusing on targeting and recruiting new talents to strengthen their team, it needs to be understood that even though Bayer Leverkusen's financial condition is currently quite good, but to be able to compete in the transfer market to get the best players with high transfer values, I think Leverkusen's finances are not strong enough to be able to do that. Therefore, Xabi Alonso's current focus as a coach is how to maximize the potential of existing players, and help young players who are currently in the team to deepen their talents, improve their abilities and help them to reach their best performance.
