It was quite interesting when Xabi rejected the offer that came to him and preferred to stay at Leverkusen for next season. This is a form of respect for Leverkusen which gave him the opportunity to work together and at the same time this is where his name shines after successfully bringing Leverkusen to become champions for the first time.
Previously we could only speculate about his future, whether he would survive or not, because he never made any comments even though rumors came to him. but suddenly he came up with a statement that could no longer be ignored, namely that he decided to stay at Leverkusen. It makes sense when he decides to stay, because he will be in the Champions League next season and that could be another stage for him and Leverkusen. If he is successful again in the Champions League then his name will be even bigger. You don't need to be the champion, being able to compete until the knockout rounds is also something I think is good.
In the beginning, when Xabi Alonso career became more accomplished, there was a lot of speculation that Xabi would leave Leverkusen and join a bigger club like Real Madrid or another club, but at that time I once said that Xabi Alonso would stay at Leverkusen when he succeeded in getting Bundesliga title and UEL title.
It's quite easy to find out the main reason why Xabi chose to stay because almost all coaches who are successful in getting a prestigious title will definitely prefer to stay at that club to achieve an even higher title so I won't be surprised when I hear that Xabi is staying at his current club because he has a goal bigger ones in the coming season.
If Xabi stays at Leverkusen with the aim of winning the Champions League title in the coming season it will probably be difficult to get because although luck can happen, the Champions League is full of top clubs with much greater experience and the Champions League has strong competition. different unlike in the Bundesliga or in the UEL.
There is still hope for Leverkusen as long as they don't make major changes to their players and try to use the same strategy as this season. It looks like Leverkusen in the coming season is ready to compete with other big clubs.
The most important thing is that Xabi must always consistently improve the talent of the Leverkusen players so they can have confidence in every match.
If next season Leverkusen's performance is still the same as this season, it is possible that they will win the Bundesliga title again.
