Real Madrid has started the season on a high note and everything they've achieved so far has been major victories. Los Merengues haven't gone through a good period and Xabi Alonso's arrival is a breath of fresh air for them. In fact, the fans have shown themselves truly grateful to him from the very beginning.
Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid just a few months ago with the intention of making sure last season doesn't repeat itself, since it wasn't good. Los Blancos finished a season practically empty-handed and Carlo ended up stepping aside to make way for the new generation. Now, unfortunately for Xabi, his best players aren't available and the replacement has had to leave Valdebebas.
Xabi Alonso and his Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso has completely changed the team and has made some adjustments that few coaches would dare to make. The Spaniard doesn't believe in favoritism and has been able to bench Vini. Carlo, for example, wasn't willing to leave certain footballers on the bench, something the fans criticized him for.
In the final stretch of last season, several Merengues showed themselves discontent and unmotivated, facts the fans didn't tolerate. The crowd demanded grit and pressure, but on many occasions it was nonexistent. With Xabi Alonso's arrival, all the stars are pressing again, since they know they can go to the bench if they don't do it.
In addition, he's giving opportunities to young players who previously waited on the bench, such as the Turk Arda Güler. Xabi Alonso has been able to count on great additions thanks to Florentino Pérez's moves in the transfer market. Unfortunately for Real Madrid, now they have a problem at right back.
Dani Carvajal and Trent are out
Trent will be out for about two months (2 meses) due to a muscle injury and Dani Carvajal faces a suspension for his conduct. In yesterday's match, Carvajal gave an unnecessary headbutt to an opponent, so he could be out for 3 or 4 matches. The solution to this could have been Jesús Fortea, a right back from La Fábrica.
Unfortunately for Madridists, the young player is out because he has been drafted with the U-20. For this reason, Xabi Alonso will have to look for another solution, quickly.
