Xabi is an experienced coach and I feel that he has been able to figure out that if he uses same formation he used at Bayern Leverkusen for Real Madrid, he may not actually get the result he wants that is why he is using a different pattern but maybe we can wait till next season to see the formation he will prefer. He is coaching one of the best teams in Europe so he will certainly use a different formation that will match the club's style of play. Xabi Alonso has already proven himself at the FIFA club world Cup, despite Raul Asencio getting an early red card in their match against Mexican team Pachuca but they still managed to win by 3:1 and are leading the table of their group so it shows that next season will be a smooth one for Xabi Alonso even though there will be a tough competition between them and Barcelona.
Leverkusen is certainly different from Real Madrid and of course Xabi did something different, yes it is true that now Xabi has proven that he is a good coach, yes it is true that in the Real Madrid vs Pachuca match, Real Madrid was able to win even though they played with 10 men because Raul received a red card in the 7th minute. yes of course now we will see whether Real Madrid will play better or not and of course what makes me curious is when the match is Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg and of course there we will see how Xabi makes a strategy.
next season will certainly be the determining factor whether Xabi can make Real Madrid better or not but yes it is true of course there will definitely be tight competition again and of course Barcelona will be an obstacle for Real Madrid so that the El Clasico match will definitely be more exciting next season. I can't wait to see the El Clasico match but unfortunately it's still a long time. of course it won't be easy for Xabi to be able to build Real Madrid to be better and of course this is a tough challenge for Xabi, we'll just have to see later.
