This is the beginning of a new era so fans should be patient with Xabi Alonso I many fans online questioning whether he's the rightful person to lead them to victory again and I know that's cause of the lose to PSG in the Fifa club world cup. If Xabi didn't prove himself in Leverkusen I don't think Real Madrid would've given him a chance to manage the club they should be too quick to last him before he's even start it's a process and I believe Xavi would be working on getting his current team to do better.
It doesn't seem to be that easy and takes time to find the best strategy.
Previously he was acknowledged to provide a good experience for Bayer Leverkusen. But being a big team coach like Real Madrid is not an easy task.
Regarding Real Madrid's defeat when facing PSG it was one proof that Real Madrid had not yet fully improved.
Currently Real Madrid does not lack players and what he needs right now is only a suitable strategy for the club.
He never thought it was easy I believe. What's different is the significant public pressure after only one game is lost.
The real issue that Alonso underestimated is not the pressure, but the problems the team has. I think he thought it will be much easier from that perspective, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior and everything should be ok, but it isn't. Real Madrid is a powerful name, but with the players they now have I think they won't have a chance in La Liga against Barcelona, let alone in the Champions League.
