Xabi's obligation is that he can't let himself be passed over by his direct rival Barcelona, he already has a good team to do it, there are no more excuses ,he has to put the team the way he wants it, Everything depends on him, he has been given all the power to do it, so the pressure on Xabi now is very big, but I think he will achieve it.
This is what makes Xabi Alonso both dilemma and joy, because all the access needed to bring Real Madrid back to glory has been fully provided by the club, both every new player desired to form a strong squad and other support, of course this makes the pressure even heavier, the club does not want to see the process but demands instant results.
