There's still plenty of time for Xabi Alonso to improve, and I think it's too early to judge him.
Real Madrid's performance in the Club World Cup wasn't impressive, but Xabi Alonso should still be supported to lead La Liga next season. I'm still very optimistic that Xabi Alonso can make Real Madrid even better next season.
Losing in the FIFA Club World Cup isn't the end of the world, is it? It's unjust to criticize a new coach before the new season begins. The real competition will come after the new season, and Alonso is currently just testing the right strategy and lineup. We all know Madrid has had success in the past, winning the UCL several times, and usually won't repeat past failures. Trust him, Alonso will prove it.
