After losing 3 games against a strong team, Alonso can only abuse others. Real Madrid hired a "transition coach"?

In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid lost to Liverpool in an away game, and the good momentum accumulated when they defeated Juventus and Barcelona in succession came to an abrupt end.

The three defeats were shocking. Real Madrid is not good at strong dialogue.

From the 4-goal loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-finals to the 5-goal loss to Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the season, Real Madrid in the Alonso era was labeled as "not strong in the face of strong". After defeating Juventus and Barcelona, ​​Alonso and his disciples seemed to have completed their transformation, but the defeat at Anfield made them fall into the dust again.

Alonso has learned to be pragmatic about the balance between ideals and reality.

Since returning to La Liga, Alonso has put a personal stamp on Real Madrid from multiple dimensions such as strengthening training, rebuilding tactics and promoting young players. Among the young people promoted by Alonso, Huizen and Alvaro Carreras have proven themselves, Guler has performed stably against weak teams, and Mastantono has not yet been able to adapt to the new league environment. Overall, it is a mixed bag.

Real Madrid is not a club that trains young players. What they pursue is current results. Xabi Alonso has shown his attitude, but he will not promote the rejuvenation process at the expense of results. At that time, Benitez and Lopetegui both lost their coaching positions because of "pushing seedlings to encourage growth", and Alonso obviously did not want to become a "transition coach" again. After winning Mastantono, Real Madrid won the El Clasico. To deal with teams such as Liverpool in the future, Alonso may have to consider taking Guler again. The process of rejuvenation of Los Blancos needs to press the pause button.
