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.
Real Madrid might not be in a rush like we think because they want Xabi Alonso to mange the club for long. However, that does not mean that if Xabi Alonso is not improving the team performance, they wouldn't look for someone else.
Xabi was able to make out something out of nothing in Leverkusen which is one of the main reasons why he was hired by Real Madrid, because they believe that with the set of players that is in the team, they will be successful overtime if Xabi Alonso uses his coaching skills and experience to work on the team.
Real Madrid has invested heavily in building the most ideal squad depth in the world, and they are certainly ambitious to achieve success next season. If Xabi Alonso fails to deliver, his fate will undoubtedly end in dismissal. Therefore, being Real Madrid manager is far from easy, the demands are immense and vastly different from managing Leverkusen.
However, I believe Xabi Alonso seems capable of meeting expectations. The squad depth he possesses will simplify his job. Additionally, several key players who suffered long-term injuries last season are now available again, which will make them better next season. Xabi Alonso current task is to accelerate the adaptation process, if that goes smoothly, Real Madrid has a strong chance of making up for their failures last season.
