Xabi Alonso Considering Systems for Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s Future Plans After El Clasico Defeat

Following their defeat in El Clasico, Real Madrid is now in planning mode as they shift their focus to the future. With Carlo Ancelotti appointed as the new Brazil manager, the club is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Xabi Alonso on June 1st.

Xabi Alonso’s Impact on Real Madrid

Alonso’s arrival is expected to bring fresh optimism to the Santiago Bernabeu, especially as Real Madrid gears up for the Club World Cup. The club has plans to make three new signings before the tournament, with the first signing being Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior to Lead the Line

One of the key challenges for Alonso will be balancing the team and getting the best out of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. While Mbappe has been a standout performer this season, the duo has yet to shine together consistently. Alonso aims to utilize them as a front two for the upcoming season.

Possible Formation Changes at Real Madrid

Alonso is considering two systems for Real Madrid: Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-4-2 and his own preferred 5-3-2/3-5-2 shape. These formations provide a glimpse into the type of players Alonso may include in the starting XI for the upcoming season.

Players Facing Uncertain Futures at Real Madrid

With the arrival of a new era at Real Madrid, certain players may find themselves on the outskirts. Rodrygo Goes is expected to be a casualty of Alonso’s plans, as he does not fit naturally into the new system. Additionally, players like Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez, and Jesus Vallejo are set to see their contracts expire without renewal offers.
