Real Madrid s new coach plays a mysterious debut! Change the formation and pits the veteran 4-3-3? Bellingham s position becomes the biggest suspense

Last week's meeting of the new coaches of Real Madrid was like a carefully arranged suspense drama. In the spotlight of the Bernabeu, Xavi Alonso sat in front of the stage in a suit, but when facing the microphone, he had a "ridream man" temperament. Logically speaking, the new official has made three fuss, and fans are hoping that the former midfielder's brain can bring out some real things - such as how to revitalize the current star-studded lineup, or a tactical instruction manual tailored for Bellingham and Vinicius. But Alonso said everything was "controlling the rhythm of the game" and "emphasizing teamwork" and other scenes, but hesitated about the specific formation and personnel arrangements. This attitude of "still holding the pipa and half-covering my face" reminds me of Zidane's "metaphysical" style when he first took over - is it the Spanish coach also planning to play "mysticism"?

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, the storm of Rodrigo's stay or stay has just settled (the young man finally let go and said he would stay, otherwise Real Madrid's offensive line would have to scratch his head again). At this time, the tactical trump card was really not smart. But Alonso still missed some of the noise, such as pulling Bellingham back - this move is quite interesting. Last season, Bellingham was simply a "human-shaped bulldozer" on the right. He scored a goal and assisted, and suddenly moved to the midfield. Should he replicate Cross's organizational role, or let him be an offensive and defensive converter for "B2B midfielder"? In any case, this is a test for the adaptability of the English star. If you can unlock new skills, you may be as unacceptable as J Ronaldo's position back then.

Speaking of formation, the revelation of "Marca" was considered to have thrown out a bomb: Alonso actually gave up the 3-5-2 that was so prosperous in Leverkusen, and turned to fight to the death 4-3-3. It’s like the chef suddenly changed the recipe. The old customers couldn’t help but mutter: Why don’t you use a convenient formation? According to the media, the coaching staff feels that the existing back line cannot support the three-center-back system - thinking about it, the two central defenders, Rudiger and Militon, have no other choice but to take into account both the wing defense and the middle position, I am afraid that I will be too busy to hit the back of the head. However, shelving it temporarily does not mean abandoning it completely. Maybe when the wingback is added to the winter window, Alonso will take out the "transformation weapon". After all, there will never be too many "Plan B" in the football world.

What makes people most worried is Vinicius's "defensive homework". This kid seemed to have a motor when he dribbled the ball, but his enthusiasm for returning to defense has been criticized. Alonso probably watched the video of the last few games, and was scratched by frequent leaks on the left side - think about it, if the left winger only attacks but not defends in the 4-3-3 formation, not only will the left back be tired, but also has to fill the position at any time in the midfield, and the entire system will be in chaos. I heard that Alonso wanted to talk to the Bear alone. This scene is interesting to think about: one is a tactical coach who pays attention to "all-member defense", and the other is a genius boy who is used to "traveling alone". This "conflict of thought" may spark everywhere - it turns out that Vinicius can transform into a top winger who "involved offense and defense"; if it is broken, maybe he has to have a little emotion.

As for the beneficiaries and "victims" of the formation change, Rodrigo and Brahim Dias have been considered a big fortune. On 3-5-2, they often had to squeeze in a small space to find opportunities. Now they return to the "comfort zone" of 4-3-3, which is equivalent to changing from "making a temple in a snail shell" to "leaping with a wide sea with a fish". Especially Rodrigo, if he can gain a foothold on the right, he might be able to take Asensio's gun - but when it comes to Asensio, this guy probably feels a little depressed recently: as soon as the new player arrives, the back line and winger positions are crowded, and the already fiercely competitive starting lineup is now even more "more wolf than meat". Veterans such as Carvajal and Rudiger also have to keep their nerves tight. After all, Real Madrid has never been ruthless to buy people. One day, a "million yuan" suddenly comes, and the position is gone.

Alonso's operation is, at best, "seeking change while maintaining stability", and at worst, "conservativeness is lack of courage." Giving up the formation you are best at and adapting to the characteristics of the players is, is it "teaching according to your aptitude" or "cutting your feet to fit your shoes"? Will Bellingham’s position adjustment waste his offensive talent? Can Vinicius accept defensive tasks? These question marks must be answered using the results of the competition. But one thing is clear: Real Madrid has never been afraid of controversy, but mediocrity. If Alonso could use this hand to play the dominance of the "Galaxy Battleship" 4-3-3, the current "silence is gold" will naturally become a "real smell warning"; but if the record is bumpy, fans are afraid to miss the 3-5-2 "dare to fight and fight". Football has always been a thing of "winning and relieving thousands of worries, losing and losing" and it depends on whether the Spanish coach can withstand the pressure and make a bloody path in the "Shura Field" of the Bernabeu.
