Madrid is the leader of the league and Xinso Alonso has come to be the leader of Madrid, the leader of the game, understandably, not the best leader.The team's first team...
- Xabi Alonso "We know where we are"
- The Chronicle A lazy and ruthless Madrid Villacas has the same symptoms as Anfield
- Vinicius the herbivore swallowed Xabi Alonso
Madrid is the leader of the Liga and Xabi Alonso has come to become the leader of Madrid, the one who leads the game, it is understood and not the maximum leader.The first crisis of the white team, because in this way the two-game winless streak at the Bernabéu qualified, is not the crisis of the leader who still dominates the table, but of the leader who poses as their coach.Madrid's sluggishness at Anfield and Vallecas shows the rapid decline of the team that strongly points to a knockout spot in Spanish football after dominating the classic game against Barça.
Xavi Alonso's response goes beyond tight words and demands of "restraint" are not enough. It was as if he had no plan B, as if paralysis had affected the bench, and Liverpool and Rayo did not receive Madrid at their best for an extraordinary first time in the Premier.The Rayistas have just celebrated a comeback with Lech Poznan, but their final league result was 0-4 with Villarreal in the same place.
Each of the two results, defeat and draw, individually would have an alibi, be it the quality of the opponent in the case of the English or Madrid's history with Vallecas, where Barca also drew this season.However, two consecutive results create a bad trend for Xabi Alonso.
injuries and changes
Forced to make changes due to Tchoemeny's injury, Tolosara led the positional play he wanted, and Xabi Alonso lost Guler to Valecas.The player with the best vision for the final pass was far from the opponents' goal, which also broke the unique link between the Turks and Mbappe.
The French striker was absent, so much so that he only touched the ball 11 times in the first half against Raj.In his case, there was no difference with the match he played at Anfield, where he was absent.It is no coincidence that in these two matches, Madrid did not score a single goal, since Mbappe scored 52% of the Whites' goals this season, 13 out of 26 in La Liga, that's exactly half, and six out of eight in the Champions League.In position 9, we are talking about a finisher who does not value his team but has two last games in his team, but has a bad game.disjointed, without the necessary rebellion to create chances out of nowhere, as you would expect from a footballer of his stature.With its lights and shadows, what Vinicius does.
Brazilian players and coaches closed out their portions of The Classic, although it was doubtful whether their comments were produced, without explicitly mentioning the coach.Growing doubts about the operation in the locker room are part of dangerous breeding.Vinnie, his assistants and a significant part of the club did not understand his transformation and transformation.In short, it is a loss of ownership.Valverde is thinking the same thing.He is currently stuck in the side, with Carvajal injured and Trent sitting on the bench.
Despite seeing Madrid scoreless and Mbappe stunned, Xabi Alonso did not use Gonzalo, his big discovery at the Club World Cup, where he showed bravery up front despite the Frenchman's injury.to Mastantuono.Appeared in Brahim Vallecas and Rodrigo.None of them worked.It is not only the definition of men but also the definition of the organization.
Bajada de huijsen
The inclusion of Kamavinga in the Midfield, from 4-4-3 to 4-4-2 to 35 to work in 4-4-2, but not at Anfield.In Vallimes, France replaced his compatriot Topukerni, but ended XABI ASANOO CEEBOLES and that the flood could be worse.The same thing happened with Militou, who gave minutes to Shencio on the bench and should count earning a yellow card and Hujsen's insecurity.The center back has declined in performance compared to its authoritative beginning.
Order, meritocracy and intensity of pressure were the constants that drove Madrid to the Club World Cup, despite losing to far superior PSG as they began to consolidate at the start of the season.Everything progressed significantly in search of a dominant team, which puts pressure on the opponent's pitch and controls the game in positions with its advanced center backs, as Xabi Alonso would like.In short, a new MadridHowever, the "Metropolitano" and "Anfield" and the sudden exclusion of Vallecas, with the bracket of the classics, caused doubts that grew among the club's management, a break at the request of Xabi Alonso, who waited a long two weeks, despite being moderate, and three visits: Elche, Girona and Olympiakos.Then it will be the turn of Guardiola's revived City at the BernabeuAnother big oneAnother test
