By working with a new coach, this is something good for Real Madrid, where Xabi can show something that makes us more confident in him to be able to handle Real Madrid next season. Their preparation in the competition is very short, but in a short time, they can show something good.
Of course this will make their supporters happy to see how there is new hope when in the previous season it could be said to have failed to give the best. It is also interesting to see them as the only representative from LaLiga, and on the other hand the Bundesliga has 2 representatives left in this round.
In my opinion, Madrid actually haven't played well in terms of the game, they could do better. However, Xabi seems to be doing quite well as a start in preparing for the new season. It would be better if Xabi brought home the Club World Cup trophy as an early achievement. The competition will be tighter, but Xabi has a chance for that. The next match is against Dortmund, which I believe will require better effort and tactics than facing Juventus. They must be able to ensure their place in the semifinals.
Of course it's not entirely good because it's still too early to judge as a whole. However, Real Madrid with a new coach, new line-up, new players, it's understandable that they haven't fully displayed a good game, but if you look at the current Real Madrid squad, especially the young Real Madrid players, this can be said to be a long-term squad.
So far, Real Madrid's performance in the Club World Cup, although not too good, their performance is also not too bad. But Xabi Alonso's tactics so far have been very impressive, where he uses tactics to reduce the individual style of each player, he prefers to rely on teamwork with short passes with one or two touches. Hopefully with the game system under his command, Xabi Alonso can win the Club World Cup trophy and next season can be better in domestic and European events.
Interestingly, under Xabi Alonso, players like Arda have been able to get a bigger role so far, and Huisjen has shown new quality and hope in the back line. So against Dortmund I think Real Madrid will win easily, besides the quality of Real Madrid players is better than Dortmund, statistically Real Madrid always performs impressively when meeting Dortmund, plus Xabi Alanso is a former Leverkusen coach so this will be easier because he has mastered Dortmund's playing pattern.
Yes it's true that madrid is winning games but I think that madrid should concentrate on building a new team that can be sustainable in the next three to four years Alonso should do this by giving equal opportunities to all players in the team because team was not not playing at their best under anceloti, Alonso should look at the future of the team not concerned about getting immediate results
