After Alonso took office as Real Madrid, the biggest problem was Mbappe s usage

After Ancelotti confirmed his departure from Real Madrid, Alonso also locked in the seat of the Galactic battleship next season. So the question is, will he become the next Zidane, or Lopetegui?

Considering his performance in leading Leverkusen to steal the league championship from Bayern last season, many Real Madrid fans have high expectations for him.

However, it should be noted that there are many differences in the tactical ideas of Real Madrid and Alonso. This young coach who plays in the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga is also considered a young coach who has traveled all over the country. Can he make good adjustments?

From the Bundesliga last season, we can see that Alonso's team attaches importance to the goal output in the midfield and backcourt, and on the other hand, it also pays attention to the acceleration of the two wings.

However, there is one key point, which is Bonifas and Shik in the center position. No matter who starts, their range of movement is very large, and they can both retreat to the middle circle to get the ball, and pull the side in the frontcourt.

Whether it is the running range or the ability to hold the ball, they are qualified. Then after coming to Real Madrid in this position, if Mbappe is used, it will be a great test for Alonso.

Compared with the Paris era, after Mbappe came to Real Madrid, he played more "white clothes are not covered in mud". In the game against Barcelona, ​​except for that fake fall, Mbappe had almost no chance of contact with Barcelona players and turf.

Real Madrid came to the frontcourt with a long pass, and Mbappe gave up almost all, without even the intention to compete. Even passing to the flank, Mbappe lost the motivation to chase the ball under the "dog-checking Frisbee" tactic in Paris.

At the same time, Mbappe does not like to receive crosses, which is a very important part of Alonso's tactical system. Every time the pharmaceutical factory reverses at the last moment, it has a lot to do with this.

Originally, Alonso's tactics were very consistent with Real Madrid's traditional playing style. His courage to suppress the formation in front is also in line with Real Madrid's past reversal. However, since the existence of Mbappe, even if Real Madrid lags behind Barcelona 3-4, they can only go to the ground to pass directly, but will other teams give them room to reach depth except Barcelona?

This season, Real Madrid has lost too many defensive lines and even without Courtois, Real Madrid's miserable defeats will be amazing. After Alonso joins the team, he will lose his favorite center system. How can he decompress the defense?

Just removing Rodrigo and arranging the double striker of Mbappe and Wennihus can bring the team back to balance? At least it cannot be done when facing Barcelona.

So it may be a bit too presumptuous to count on Alonso to solve the problem of Real Madrid. Although it is not ruled out that they will effectively strengthen the center window, it is unlikely that Alonso will do much if he does not solve the problem of center.
