Serge: Alonso thinks Valverde is best suited to play as a full-back, and there is a gap between the two

Hupu reported on November 25 that according to the Spanish media Radio Ser, the media updated the situation of Real Madrid coach Alonso.

Alonso is going through a critical moment of crisis in coaching Real Madrid. Leading Real Madrid to three consecutive games without a win is always worrying - facing Elche's defense yesterday, Real Madrid suffered two consecutive draws in the league, while Barcelona, ​​which beat Bilbao 6-1, has closed the point difference to 1 point. This weak first-place advantage has prompted Madridistas to increasingly ask: What on earth is this team playing?

Alonso's current coaching situation

Real Madrid has encountered a dark moment of three games without a win. Although it still leads the La Liga standings, the distance between Xabi Alonso and the key players in the team has become something that can be felt both inside and outside the club. As "Radio Ser" revealed: "One of Alonso's problems is that Valverde considers himself one of the best midfielders in the world, but his coach does not even give him a midfield position."

"I have not yet seen the end of the world for Real Madrid, the alarm has not yet sounded," Radio Ser reporter Antón Me ana admitted at the beginning of the analysis, "But going to Athens to face Olympiacos may become a fourth obstacle for Real Madrid." Real Madrid understands inside that "Alonso is not the problem," but the Basque coach "has not been able to provide a solution," although his working methods have not changed since the winning streak during the Club World Cup.

The top management of the Bernabeu also realized that Xavi "distributed responsibilities to some players". Antón Meana specifically pointed out that certain players lacked intensity on the court: "Xavi was invited to change working habits and improve the team, but the players did not compete fiercely for positions." All this caused the club to perceive the "distance between the locker room and the coach."

The whirlpool of contradictions among the three cores

This distance is mainly reflected in the three key players. One is Bellingham, who "cannot find a place in Alonso's system, and although he can play, he no longer shines." The England star is obviously below the level of his first season at the Bernabeu, contributing only 4 goals and 2 assists in 12 games.

The second may be a more serious problem with Valverde. Antón Meana said: "Valverde's position is a big trouble for the current Real Madrid... because he considers himself the successor of Kroos, and Alonso does not regard him as a midfielder at all." Although the German legend passed on the No. 8 jersey to the Uruguayan, in the Basque coach's vision: "The Real Madrid midfielder should Composed of Guler, Chuameni and Bellingham, Valverde is required to make outstanding contributions at the right back position "

Antón Meana explained that when Carvajal was injured and Arnold's performance after joining was far from expected, Alonso believed that Valverde's reinforcement on the right side of the defense was the most important. But this has also exacerbated the gap between the two: "The player thinks he is worthy of playing in the midfield, but the coach refuses to compromise because of the clear main lineup."

The unsolvable Vinicius dilemma

"The most difficult thing is the Vinicius situation," Antón Meana pointed out, "Nothing has changed after the national derby." According to "The Athletic", the Brazilian forward has informed the club that as long as the relationship with Xavi remains the status quo, his contract will not be renewed. "This is a strong position statement and a huge crisis - because renewing Vinicius's contract is the club's primary goal. "

Beleaguered coach

Antón Meana said: "I haven't seen such a lack of support from the Real Madrid coach for a long time. So far this season, he has neither won the recognition of the players nor the directors. Will be convinced - from the chairman to the top management, they are doubtful about what they see. If the players still can't buy it by December, the situation is extremely pessimistic. What's even more difficult is that even the Bernabeu stands have neither boos nor support, because the fans have not seen the football that Harvey promised. But no one understands the tactical logic of this Real Madrid—perhaps even Xavi himself has not clarified it. "

The vacuum of public opinion

"In the media circle—although we are often said to be the least important in decision-making—Alonso even lacks an opinion group to defend him. This is not necessary, but it reflects his almost transparency in Real Madrid. A sense of presence. "

"There will be six decisive battles in the future: the Champions League away game against Olympiacos, the league meeting with Girona and Bilbao, and the home game against Celta Vigo and Manchester City... These days will determine Alonso's fate. He is certainly an excellent coach, but these qualities have not yet been translated into recognition by the locker room, the club and the fans. "
