Why does Real Madrid always have a "ghost"? Can Alonso learn the essence of Mourinho?

In the 12th round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew with Rayo Vallecano in an away game, and the points lead shrunk. Alonso's on-the-spot command was criticized, and his recent performance of "catching moles" aroused great doubts.

There was "internal strife" after the defeat, and Real Madrid had another mole.

After losing to Anfield for two consecutive years, Real Madrid was experiencing the turmoil of "internal strife" while tasting the bitterness of defeat. Real Madrid and team reporter Mario Cortana disclosed Alonso's "catching a mole" in the locker room. There is an atmosphere of uneasiness and tension within the Los Blancos.

Just like Benitez and Lopetegui back then, Alonso also experienced the hardships of coaching a giant. Compared with his two unfortunate predecessors, Alonso is lucky in that he has a victory in the El Clasico as a gold medal to avoid death, as well as the "backing" of two big bosses, who can use tough tactics in promoting young players and managing the locker room.

With the support of the two big guys, Alonso boldly does what he does

Since Alonso took office, Mbappe has been running wild with an efficiency of 1 goal per game, and is currently in the leading position in the battle for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Alonso weakened the tactical status of Vinicius and Rodrigo in order to highlight Mbappe's tactical status, which won him the support of the French.

As a reconstruction expert appointed by Florentino, Alonso needs to reuse young players to save the team's expenses and change the loose team management model in the late Ancelotti era. Operations such as "finding moles" are completely in line with Lafayette's requirements. Unlike Zidane and Ancelotti who caught up with the good times, Alonso now faces an arduous reconstruction task, and the operation of "finding a mole" is also a helpless move.
