This is a serious challenge Xabi Alonso will forget all the intelligence he has.
Xabi Alonso not only coaches like a club but Xabi also coaches demands with a high level of prestige.
We just wish Xabi Alonso success at the Santiago Bernabeu. At least he can still be and deserves to be considered an intelligent person.
One thing I find interesting in the coming of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid is the fact that he will put much of the players in place. This set of Real Madrid players have enjoyed way far too pampering by Ancelloti and needed a modern manager to put them at place, although Xabi Alonso is so much friendly he has this toughness in him that can put some of this top players into position. Also he is tactically at the moment better in my opinion than Ancelloti and that’s something the club needs now
Ancelotti should have done what you said and I totally agree with that. Arda Guller was rarely played despite Ancelotti's reasoning for what he did to show how fierce the competition was for a place in the main line-up.
Camavinga often plays in the defender position even though there are other players whose main position is in defense.
I look forward to seeing Xabi Alonso's ingenuity at Real Madrid as a coach.
