The figure of Xabi Alonso is once again at the center of the debate after the recent Real Madrid matches, marked by unexpected defeats, poor performance, and a feeling that the project has lost stability. The criticisms focus on the coach, but a deep analysis reveals structural flaws and a dressing room where key players have alarmingly dropped their level.

The crisis of Real Madrid and the role of Xabi Alonso

The message from Xabi Alonso is not resonating as it should, and the team reflects this on the field, with constant disconnections and a lack of leadership in moments of maximum demand. The squad is not keeping up with the coach's pace, exacerbating the pressure on him and on the board led by Florentino Pérez, who are forced to evaluate significant decisions to steer the season back on track.

The case of Vinicius is one of the most visible, as his performance is far from what he offered in previous seasons, and his gestures of frustration when substituted harm the internal dynamics. The Brazilian has lost spark, imbalance, and clarity, and his role within the dressing room is no longer so undisputed.

Vinicius and other key players under scrutiny

For Xabi Alonso, recovering the winger must be an absolute priority, although the coach also observes that the low performance extends to sensitive areas of the team. Rüdiger is going through a noticeable decline, and his continuity is not guaranteed, especially after serious errors in crucial matches, casting doubts on his renewal.

Regarding Alaba, the situation is even more delicate. Constant injuries, his high wage, and lack of continuity make his stay a structural problem for the club, as his role as a defensive leader has faded over time. Brahim also struggles to establish himself in the coach's plans, and his inconsistency places him on a list of potential departures starting from the summer, a situation similar to that of Ferland Mendy, whose departure could even occur in January due to the lack of trust from the sports management.

On the other hand, the bet on Alexander-Arnold has proven unsuccessful, as the full-back has shown vulnerabilities in defense, and his adaptation has been much slower than expected. This situation paves the way for a profound restructuring of the right flank, where the team still lacks competitive guarantees.

Internal pressure is mounting

The analysis from the technical management agrees on one point: the project requires urgent adjustments. The team management aspect of Xabi Alonso, once a strong point in previous stages, is now under maximum pressure. The demands of Real Madrid do not allow a prolongation of a crisis that threatens to compromise the season's objectives, necessitating firm decisions.

Florentino Pérez's role emerges as crucial in this context, as he must decide whether to maintain confidence in the coach, push for a profound renewal of the squad, or take more drastic measures to halt the sporting decay. Meanwhile, the coach faces the most demanding moment of his career on the bench and knows that the club needs immediate responses and a turnaround to revitalize the dressing room.

If Real Madrid wants to regain dominance in Europe, it is imperative for this clean-up in the dressing room to happen to avoid further issues and bring in better players who can contribute their hunger for titles to the merengue team. Currently, the white dressing room is a hot potato, and no matter how much they change the coach, that won't change, so the focus must begin there.
