I am having the feeling that Xavi Alonso and Real Madrid might struggle for a while even beyond what most of us expected.
You have to understand that Real Madrid is a big club and they would not take any chances of trial and error in order to know what to happen. They will definitely need an immediately result, this is just certain.
In the other hand, Xavi Alonso is a legend of Real Madrid and also a good coach who has proven himself in the German bundesliga. So we do not also expect him to take much time to adapt to the Real Madrid team. This is where the problem lies. Before both the team and the coach will understand themselves and synchronize, Barcelona will be on their way waxing strong in the season.

Guys why lately I often read something interesting in this thread makes me entertained.

Back to the main topic, Xabi has an important point in Madrid. He has experience with Madrid in the past and now he has some quality players that make it easier for him to implement the right strategy. There's no doubt and it's not about exaggeration, but this could be a great thing for Madrid in the coming season. It's time for Madrid to take back the title from Barcelona.
