Xabi Alonso is currently progressing in the ongoing FIFA Club world cup and Real Madrid is the only team now left from the Spanish La Liga to still be in the competition after their counterpart Atletico Madrid exited the competition in the group stages. Real Madrid just finished their game against Juventus in the Round of 16 which they won by a single goal 1 - 0. Juventus were so resistant in the game that Real Madrid could only put one goal past. Out of 11 shots on target, the goal keeper was their hero of as he saw off those from getting past him into the net. Real Madrid continues to represent Spain as always.
If Xabi Alonso can guide Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga league title and finish unbeaten in the Bundesliga league, just imagine what Xabi Alonso will do and achieve at Real Madrid, which has more quality and world-class players than Bayer Leverkusen, so I am not surprised with the way Xabi Alonso is performing in the Club World Cup tournament with Real Madrid. I didn't watch the Real Madrid and Juventus game, but I knew Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid would surely overcome the Juventus test because Juventus has been in a mess for a very long time, and they can't beat a club like Real Madrid if they don't improve their performance.
I don't think what was done at Leverkusen means it will be the same in La Liga. Although there is indeed such hope, but we must realize that the situation is different in this case so everything cannot be simply equated.
Being in Madrid will indeed be a little advantageous where he is equipped with resources in terms of players who are indeed very qualified but on the other hand the pressure is also very heavy so Xabi must remember that.
The risk is comparable if in the end he can give his best then in the end he will be one of the coaches who will be praised but otherwise if in the end Madrid's performance seems ordinary then he must be prepared with all forms of consequences.
Adaptation is something that must be emphasized where when the adaptation is good, it does not rule out the possibility that what he did at Bayern can be repeated in Madrid but it also cannot be a benchmark because different clubs can be different fates.
