The coach knows best what he wants in his squad, and I think Xabi Alonso is indeed building the team and bringing in some of the players he wants. This isn't just in midfield, but in all areas, which must be focused on, because a team's game will be well-organized in all areas to create a good performance.
Real Madrid is improving, so just trust Alonso. He's a great coach, and he just needs a little time to develop this team. I have a lot of confidence in Xabi Alonso.
The former Real Madrid player knows what the club needs, and it looks like Xabi Alonso will bring positive changes to Real Madrid.
He won't be too focused on recruiting attacking players, but I'm sure he's aware of the previous weaknesses in midfield and defense. Therefore, he'll likely focus more on finding those two positions to strengthen the defense.
I hope Real Madrid will bounce back and become Barcelona's strongest opponent, providing an exciting La Liga competition next season. But I still prefer Barcelona over Madrid.
