It is clear that Xabi Alonso being new to Real Madrid needs time to fully connect with team and put his plans into action. For him to achieve high goals at Real Madrid it is vital he builds strong relationships and truly understands his players.

It is understandable he has not yet picked all his ideal players or perfected his strategies as this takes patience. However once he is fully integrated and  team works well together under him they have great chance of success. Giving him more time looks like smart decision given their current performance and future looks bright for Real Madrid with him in charge.
