It will take some time before Real Madrid begins to adopt Xabi's style of play. Before then, Real Madrid will see to different appalling defeats that we will be surprised at before Xabi's football tactics are mastered by Real Madrid players. At least, before the start of the LaLiga League around Aug. 19, I am expecting to see better improvement in the team. Xabi would have known the kind of improvement that has been made in the team, whether the team is capable and ready to fight for the LaLiga trophy and the Champions League trophy for the 2025/2026 season.
Even before Xabi, the club had been having serious issues because it all started with how even Mbappé had been underperforming, and the reason was that he was trying to adapt to the system of Madrid, but for how long? And a loss of things is just not right for them, and they need to be very serious. From what we have seen, if they don't fix these issues, they might become irrelevant in the whole system because they need to fix their defense and then follow up with their midfield. because this is not the Madrid we know. The Madrid we know is the one full of entertainment, and when you are facing them, you have to be very careful.
Can Madrid even fight for the La Liga title next season? Because there is no way they will go far with this kind of performance, they should work on their defense and sharpen their strikers, because we are getting less entertainment from all these things.
