Alonso wants to play double striker, but M.M. Bear King doesn’t leave. Can Rodrigo go to Liverpool if he cuts the price?

Real Madrid's lineup in the new season will still undergo some changes compared to last season. The team chose to change coaches this summer. Ancelotti became the head coach of the Brazilian national team. Alonso took office as the Bernabeu and became the team's new coach. After he arrived, he still needs to solve Real Madrid's forward problem. Of course, what Real Madrid needs to solve is not just the problem on the front line, including the lineup matching of the midfield and the personnel adjustment of the defense line, which are all issues that Alonso needs to pay attention to this summer and after the start of the season.

Compared with the midfield and the defense, the front line issues are more sensitive and attracting more attention. Even if we put aside the issue of Rodrigo, the former 100 million-yuan gentleman, how the scorer with a total value of more than 350 million euros in football coexist is still a test for Alonso. Although there was news that Vinicius left the team at this summer window and the negotiations for renewal between the two sides were not going smoothly, Real Madrid is likely to not send away the Brazilian winger in this summer window. The team may observe half a season and wait until the winter window to decide Vinicius' future.

As long as Vinicius does not leave, the team must give him enough playing time, and the same is true for Mbappe. How to solve this problem when the two positions overlap, Alonso's answer is the double center system. According to the news given by ESPN, Alonso has decided to abandon Real Madrid's past tactical style and try the double center tactics in the new season. With the arrival of Arnold, the team is likely to play in a 352 or 442 formation, which can maximize the ability of Vinicius and Mbappe and give the two space to play.

The idea is naturally good. Last season, Ancelotti also tried many personnel and tactical adjustments to make Vinicius and Mbappe coexist, but the problems of the two are not just the overlap of style and position, but also the problems such as not passing each other and not returning to defend. According to statistics, Vinicius passed the ball to Mbappe last season only 15%, while Mbappe passed the ball to Vinicius only 13%. In addition, there were only 8 games in which the two played at the same time to score goals, almost all of which occurred at the beginning of the season. When the two coexisted at the end of the season, Vinicius performed very mediocrely.

In addition, the problem of returning to defense between Mbappe and Vinicius still plagues Real Madrid. The return to defense rate and attitude of returning to defense last season were difficult to satisfy, at least not positive enough. When the two strikers on the front line do not return to defense, Real Madrid's midfield will inevitably suffer a greater impact, and the team's tactical style will also be affected. Whether the expected effect can still be achieved is an unknown. If Alonso cannot solve these two problems, the tactical system of the two forwards will still be difficult for Real Madrid to succeed, and the relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius will only become more and more embarrassing.

Vinitius and Mbappe's competition is not the two of them, but Rodrigo. Real Madrid wants to play a double striker, so Rodrigo naturally has no room to play, and the team has long exposed that Rodrigo will be sold this summer window, but has not received a satisfactory offer so far. Now Real Madrid has given up the 100 million euro price, but the 85 million euro transfer fee is still unwilling. It is reported that Liverpool has been in contact with Rodrigo's team, and the players have also expressed their desire to go to Liverpool. However, if Real Madrid insists on this price and Rodrigo also requires a high salary, even Liverpool is likely not to push the deal.
