Xabi Alonso still has much work to do for this Real Madrid side that seem to have lost motivation and focus. Their performance in the Club World Cup wasn’t convincing but on the bright side, Xabi has identified the problem which he pointed out to be lack of unity in their play. Let’s see how he will manage the situation and fix this next season.
Knowing the problem of the team is a very vital thing xabi has done, because that will help him develop better approach on how well to tackle the issue identified, because for you to be able to tackle an issue, you need to first identify thes issue. Madrid players will obviously not have that unity reason been that they are mostly talented player who have their personal awards they wish to get while in their prime so that will always affect their style of play on the pitch too often.
Xabi Alonso identifying the problem of his Real Madrid team is one thing then another thing is to solve the problem and not let it linger for another season when they start the new season, Ancelotti was seen as the best manager but last season he failed to provide the solution that could save his team from a lot of embarrassment that they witnessed last season but since Xabi is ready to solve the problem I think he needs to know the players he decides to start first so that he doesn't create more problems trying to provide solutions.
