0-4 Paris, 2-5 Atletico Madrid! Real Madrid cannot play a strong team, is Alonso at this level?

"We feel pain. This is a derby battle and a deserved defeat." - Xavi Alonso cannot play with a strong team, Real Madrid "exposed its true colors"

This round of La Liga focus, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 5 goals away from home, the midfield led by Bellingham cannot control the rhythm, and the defense led by Heysen failed to withstand the pressure. After losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup (0-4), the White Army once again suffered a crushing defeat in the strong dialogue.

Alonso's new tridents seem to be suitable for high-intensity, fast-paced play.

Since the start of the new season, Real Madrid has won six consecutive victories in various competitions, and Xavi Alonso has won public recognition. However, Real Madrid's winning streak is not valuable. When the opponent's strength becomes slightly stronger (such as the Champions League against Marseille), they play very hard, and the problem of midfield out of control in the Ancelotti era has not been effectively solved.

"Rock Style" doesn't work, Alonso faces a dilemma

twice against strong opponents (PSG & Atletico Madrid), and Xavi Alonso's disciples all suffered a crushing defeat, and the upper limit of this team seems to be not high.

On the surface, Real Madrid's defeat was due to lineup defects (no center). If we look at it from a deeper perspective, the fatal problem of the White Army is style conflicts. Many players who are not suitable for oppressive play are forcibly stuffed into the "rock style" system, and most players are not adapted to the fast-paced and high-intensity play. Alonso faces a difficult choice whether to continue to stick to his tactical philosophy or to transform his tactics based on local conditions.
