Western media: Alonso will start with a 433 formation and will not rush to change the formation

Sports Weekly All Media Original

Real Madrid previously announced that Xavi Alonso took office, and the Spanish young coach will lead Real Madrid to compete in this summer's Club World Cup. The preparation time left for Xavi Alonso is limited. Alonso needs to finalize Real Madrid's formation and tactical arrangements in a short period of time and seize the time to train.

At Leverkusen, Xavi Alonso created a three-center-back formation for the team, and the pharmaceutical factory also won the 2023-24 Bundesliga championship with this tactical system. When rumors that Alonso coaches Real Madrid appeared, the outside world began to speculate that Alonso would transplant the formation after taking over Real Madrid's coaching stick and arrange for Real Madrid to change into three central defenders.

However, Spanish newspaper Marca wrote an article pointing out that Alonso may not immediately change Real Madrid. According to the newspaper's view, Alonso proved in Leverkusen that he could choose the tactical system that is most suitable for the existing lineup configuration through his interpretation of the team's lineup. After taking over Leverkusen, Alonso analyzed the existing lineup and came to the conclusion that "the team is most suitable for three central defenders."

Maca newspaper disclosed that after Alonso took over Real Madrid, he hoped to start with a 433 formation. Although he still has the possibility of changing the formation in the future, with Real Madrid's current lineup configuration, the 433 formation will become the initial system of Real Madrid under Alonso.

Whether it is Alonso or Real Madrid, everyone believes that Real Madrid's current lineup is not suitable for playing as a three-center-back. Injuries are also an important factor. Real Madrid's defense line is full of wounded soldiers, and central defenders Militon, Rudiger and Alaba are all recovering from injuries. During the Club World Cup, young player Raul Asensio and new player Wysen are likely to serve as the main central defenders, and Jakovo Ramon and Aguado of the second team will serve as substitutes. In addition, Chu Améni can continue to play a guest role in the central defender, but judging from Alonso's wishes, the new Real Madrid coach still hopes that the French midfielder will play as a midfielder.

Real Madrid's record this season is not good. Previous analysis pointed out that the team's low running distance and insufficient frontcourt pressure are important incentives. Ancelotti was also very dissatisfied with this during his term of office. Alonso will make special arrangements. He hopes that Real Madrid's forward will invest more in defense. In his opinion, all team members should share the defensive tasks. There may be one player on the front line to turn on the "power saving mode", but there cannot be 3 to 4 players who are too lazy in defense.
