Xabi seems to adjust the formation used with the available players. Xabi in Leverkusen more often uses 3 defenders and 4 midfielders, which makes Leverkusen's type of game with dominant ball possession.
But it seems a different pattern is applied to Madrid, who have stronger players in the attacking game pattern. We have not seen how effective Xabi's method will be applied for next season. But hopefully, there will be no problems with the players and the playing style designed by Xabi.
With the depth of the squad that Real Madrid has, Xabi Alonso can freely experiment and apply any formation according to his wishes. The average Real Madrid player can also play in several positions, this will clearly make it easier for Xabi Alonso to formulate the best strategy to achieve consistent victory.
I think, if all the key Real Madrid players are available, everything will go as expected. The biggest challenge is injuries, that will make it difficult for any manager.
well come on, let's hope that Xabi manages to find the right balance with the players available
Real Madrid is strong and has always sought stability to win and convince
so i think the combination can work without any particular problem since Xabi is a professional
Of course, Real Madrid squad is a blessing to a professional coach because he can try so many strategies and find the best one that can be used to outsmart his opponents and adopt it. Xabi Alonso is a good coach with great experience, so I am not worried about him improving the team performance. He needs time to study and understand the players and for the players to understand his game pattern.
