Real Madrid presented new manager Xabi Alonso to the media last week to a lot of fanfare, with the long -awaited arrival of the Basque manager who was met positively by the fan base. During his opening statements, he gives little away about how his team would set up.
Alonso remained free from dignity statements about how his side would play, or what players would be to play it, with the future of Rodrygo is thought to be in the air – the Brazilian has since announced Los Blancos that he likes to remain. The ex-Bayer Leverkusen-Man noted that he would, however, move Jude Bellingham further in midfield, and that he wanted his side to be protagonists.
According to Marca, Alonso has decided to park his preference 3-5-2 formation in Leverkusen for the time being and will work towards a 4-3-3 system for the time being. Earlier reports had noted that Alonso did not think to make a radical change before the World Cup Club, and then again judge, and the daily daily explains that the coaching staff feels the current team that he has not set up to play three at the back, not the only system in mind.
One of the things that Alonso has worried most after a detailed analysis of the recent games of Los Blancos is the defensive attitude of some of his players, and Alonso wants to emphasize that defending is required from the entire team. If that 4-3-3 comes in place, Vinicius Junior will probably be on the left wing, and he will have a conversation with the Brazilian to make it clear to him.
In theory, this system would benefit Rodrygo more than anyone else, who, together with Brahim Diaz, has a more natural position in a 4-3-3 than a 3-5-2. At least they would have a clearer path to a starting point. It is news that it is perhaps less encouraging for people like Dai Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Raul Asencio, who are confronted with new signing sessions that arrive in their positions, are confronted with increased competition without increased spaces in the start XI.
