Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

And the possible lineup of Real Madrid including new transfers and rumored players, will be like this?

According to that possible line up, Rodrygo might be the bench guy unless if Alonso decides to go with a different approach. Arda Güler seemed to be gaining much favor layely. Also, Alonso might lean more into 3 center backs so that whole back set up might change.

I prefer seeing what he will present in his first games before we speculate about the starting 11. Also, the transfer market is just getting started.

I also think Xabi Alonso will come with a different approach from what Ancelotti used in his time. I am also anticipating his first three games especially the pre season games when he officially becomes the club’s first team coach. Few days ago I read about Xabi preferred three centre back system but I am not optimistic that Xabi will bring a fresh system to the team with him.

Will this lineup even make any difference? The frontline is going to be the same with what has been the case with last season, there's no much improvement on the midfield, almost like the same thing they used last season with a little touch in the defense which seems to be the area we've seen something to look out for. Head count and individual brilliance is what this lineup is showing but what we will eventually look out for with time will be how well this new signing will complement what is already available in the team and how the new coach can stand to make some strong decision upfront in terms of not always making use of the three of vinicius, mbappe and Rodrigo at the same time upfront.

Xabi Alonso's first season is going to be a tough one for him most expecially when you look at the place that Madrid currently stands and the fact that they will be looking at next season as a period of redemption after facing a lot of humiliation this season. If he comes with his own tactics and it works for the team then good and fine if not, talking over from Carlo anceloti will naturally put a sense of pressure on xabi Alonso to performing well in his first session.
