Alonso is difficult to use the 3421 or 352 formation in Real Madrid, only for three reasons that cannot be violated.

. More importantly, Real Madrid has never been patient with the head coach, so Real Madrid does not rule out the possibility of firing Alonso under public pressure. Why did Alonso succeed in Leverkusen? A very important point is that Leverkusen is not a top giant team, so he does not have too high requirements for his performance. In this relatively relaxed environment, the head coach can more patiently polish and practice his football philosophy and tactical playing style. But in a top-notch giant club like Real Madrid, this will definitely not work.

The above three reasons are objective and real, and it is difficult for Alonso as the head coach to violate it. Therefore, the 3421 or 352 formation that Alonso commonly used in Leverkusen is difficult to implement in Real Madrid, unless Lafayette does not consider the results and gives Alonso a season of running-in time, and Alonso must be equipped with the players he needs the most. So will this happen? I don't think so.
