In addition to what you said, there are also other things that Real Madrid experienced this season such as injuries to their main players and the substitute players that Real Madrid have are also not good enough so that this has really made Real Madrid get nothing this season. I also hope that Alonso can bring more capable changes to Real Madrid next season because Real Madrid is a strong team that already has a series of quite good achievements until last season.
It is a fundamental problem experienced by Real Madrid because of losing several core players in the team makes them a little difficult to appear far more consistent. Xabi Alonso is given the responsibility to handle Real Madrid and is expected to be able to provide changes after experiencing a season without a title. Being a big team coach like Real Madrid is not easy and there may be a challenge for each coach because usually managing a team that has a series of achievements is not as easy as imagined.
