When? real Madrid Marks his upcoming participation in FIFA Club World Cup On Saturday, with a post on his social media account, the biggest face in the overall image was not from the Star Striker. Kylian mbappa,

It was not Vinissius JunirOf Jude BellinghamEither, however, all the three superstars were depicted, with the bright trophy of the competition and images of using skyscrapers and bridges.

Instead, the image dominated – very beautiful – the face of new coach Zabi Alonso. It’s only a few weeks, but already Madridistas Alonso may not be much excited about the era, his Messiah is out of the joint star power of three of the three most high-profile players of the promise game.

The arrival of the new coach-returning to the club where he impressed as a player and later began his coaching trip at the academy-was made official on May 25, a day after 2024–25 in Madrid. Laliga The season is over. He took his first training session seven days ago on 9 June. But already Alonso’s Madrid, Florida’s Palm is in the middle, clubs are preparing for the World Cup.

Beyond publicity, as a clue, what Alonso has actually planned for the team is rare. At home in Madrid, in the club’s Waldebebas Bas, training was done behind the doors closed last week. At his training camp at Palm Beach Garden, just 15 minutes of the first open session in the United States, open to the media. But we have seen Alonso at work, carefully compiled in photos and videos and released by the club, it has been complicated.

Each image has already been analyzed and analyzed by fans. In a photo, from a set released by the club on 9 June, Alonso sits in an office with its five leading coaching staff: Sebus Parila (Assistant Manager), Ismail Cammenfort (Fitness Coach), Alberto Ensineas and Beanat Laben (analysts) and Lopis (ongoing round -kping coaches). Their laptops are ready, which look like strategic plans on the screen. Alonso is ready with a tablet in front of him. The intended message, perhaps a little incorrect, is clear: it is a completely modern coach, opposite to his predecessor, Carlo Anseloti.

In training footage, Alonso is shown as a focus, interventionist and expansion-oriented, as you expect: actively directing, when necessary, when necessary, indicating and shouting the game, preventing the game, watching every trick of your players and often correcting their position.

Again, the opposite can not be more stark opposite with more laid back-back ancelloti. Alonso must have played under the Child-out Italian; But he learned his business under Rafa Benitez, Jose Morinho and Pep Guardiola.

At his introductory news conference on 26 May, Alonso provided more indications that the kind of team we can see that we can start developing in the Club World Cup and to flourish in Laliga in the next session. He said: “Today in football you have to flexible, and dynam. [defenders]Or with three.

“What I want is that we know how to choose our moments, to be organized, control the ball, and know what we do not have to do when we do not have the ball.

We will get the first real glimp Al Hilal On Wednesday at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami.

Further work for Alonso is enough. Madrid weakened in the previous season, which slipped in an ineffective shade of Laliga and The team. Champions League the year before. When pushed, Alonso refused to provide analysis of the weaknesses of the side, which was reluctant to go into the nuances.

“I have seen the games, I analyzed them, and now I am wondering what we can do for balance and control,” he said. “This will give us a stability that will enable us to flourish personal qualities.”

Balance and control. The two lacked Anseloti Madrid in the previous season. The campaign was not a devastation: the team finished second in Laliga, kept the title race alive by May and reached. Copa del re Last. But Madrid was embarrassed in eradicating 16 rounds of -16 in his Champions League ArsenalOverall defeat 5-1-and they lost four consecutive consecutives Classicos To Barcelona For the first time in 15 years, including 4-3 on May 11, who handed over the league to Barka. Mbappé may have scored 43 goals in all competitions, but it was about the team’s only working part.

This meant that Anseloti had to lose his job. It was a decision that ENSELOTOT herself accepted and understood, materials Bid a emotional farewell And proceed to one next destination that he was fanatic for a long time, like BrazilCoach of the national team. Dating in the previous years – Alonso was a favorite of Madrid to replace him in the previous years. That scene was supported by his performance Bayer leverkusenTheir 2023-24 unbeaten Bundesliga Title winning season.

Circumstances made the handover unexpectedly strange. Madrid could not work even when he was still in theoretically, the title race. Alonso, respectfully, did not want to make his future plans public until the end of Livarkusen’s season. And the Brazilian Football Federation was eager – for internal, political reasons – to secure Anseloti as soon as possible. As a result, Alonso confirmed his departure on 9 May, and Anseloti was then declared as a Brazilian coach, making officially 11 days before his exit from Madrid.

However, it did not bother Anseloti too much, and he blessed his former player, called Alonso a “luxurious” coach, which “all doors were opened.” Outgoing Boss said of his successor: “He has shown himself one of the best coaches in the world.”

Can Real Madrid participate with Rodrigo?

Gustavo Hoffman believes that Real Madrid will be open for farewell methods with Rodrigo, but only for the transfer fee between 80–100 million euros.

When Alonso was eventually presented as the new coach of Madrid on 26 May, he was estimated, estimated, charismatic and eloquence. However, there were some subjects that he had to work hard to escape, such as when Madrid offered him a job, and how much input did he have on issues such as the decision not to award the experienced midfielder. Luca modic A new contract.

He will not be committed to a formation, saying that “football is dynamic.” Asked how he would help Mbappé and Vini Junior to work together as two, they replied deeply: “I have views.” Jude Belingham had more details on a situation – “I see him as a midfielder. We will try to make sure that he is as efficient as possible” – and on a non -nonsense north Rhodrico Who, sources have told ESPN, He wants clarity on his future role“I will talk to all the players, because we have to know each other,” said Alonso.

This club is a half way, which stands between two sessions, two ages and two real Madrid teams. Giants like Modric and Lucas Vezques Before the end of his contracts, the last time will play for Madrid in the tournament. Two new players, center back Dean hijsen And right back Trent Alexander-AneoldHave already signed and are with the squad in Florida. Two more are in the United States, but elsewhere. River Playmaker Franco mastentuo A August will join when he turns 18, while quit back Álvaro carreras Still BenfikaTwo clubs are unable to agree on a fee.

Ball-playing defender Huijen believes that he “fits well with the football of the jabi.” Alexander-Aranold says that Alonso was a “big statue” for him as a child, and more, he has already influenced the development of the entire back game style. “They increased my game,” Alexander-Aranold said in its unveiling on Thursday. “He was hungry to do so while going through the ball. … he is a new manager, but he showed how amazing he is. I will soak all the information.”

Alonso Club was reluctant to take on the World Cup and preferred to start later. An interim, internal appointment was considered, like Santy Solari, the director of the football, before being dismissed as impractical.

Alonso does not have time to collect a new team properly for a new team, with a new philosophy and identity, but the demands of Madrid are blind for it. They will be as high as usual. An early elimination, even in the knockout stage, will be seen as unacceptable. But there is also an attractive possibility of a good performance, an early evidence of the concept of Alonso’s project. “These are the circumstances, and once this happens, I see it as an opportunity,” Alonso stressed last month. “On one side, to start with procedures, how we want [the team] Happen. And then on the other side, to fight for a trophy. If we do those two things, it can be a great start. ,

Rafa Benittez provides advice to Xabi Alonso in front of Madrid

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid Manager Rafa Benitez gave their views on the adjacent step of the Zabi Alonso for Real Madrid.

Those “circumstances” include three players – Winnie Jr., Arda Guller And Andry Lunin – After his international commitments ended, a meeting with Alonso and squad for the first time at the Palm Beach Four Seasons Hotel. Other important figures- Mbappé, Bellingham, Alexander-Aranold, Huijsen, Modric and Aurreelian Tachhayani – Returned only on Friday, which means that he must have completed only five training sessions before the first game in -charge of Alonso.

And then there is a long list of others – Dani Karvajal, Éder milito, Antonio Rideger, David lba, Eduardo Kaimvinga, Ending And Ferland Mendi – Those who are still not fully fit and are working on their recovery. All were named in Madrid’s Club World Cup squad and they have traveled to America

Speaking on arrival in Palm Beach, Alonso tried his best to be excited. “It has been very positive,” he said. “you will find out [the players] Very little, due to that contact, it is very important. More players are coming.

“Everything has been done a lot, because we have very little time to know each other. Today we will arrive, and we will start forming a team. We have the first three training sessions. [Al Hilal] Match, but we are excited to come here, to do a good tournament, and to go all the way to the end. ,

This is Madrid’s goal: arriving at the finals at the MetLife Stadium and winning it. But there is also another, even more important objective: building a better team for the next season, a team that will not find a hammer by Barcelona or would be the best to come against the Champions League by any top side. And in that regard, it is not yet clear whether this tournament will help, or a hindrance.
