I knew the heavy defeat of Real Madrid in the hands of PSG will spark and will fit e the coach and club at large to fill in the loop holes. Now it's rumoured that Real Madrid wants another Liverpool player, this time a midfielder and Alonso has identified Mac Alister as a pivotal signing to his midfield problems. Real Madrid if they will perform this coming season still needs few signings added to their players if not, it will be hell for them again.

That defeat should not be what will motivate them or make them to get all the players Liverpool has, they should forget about that defeat it won't help in any way but the manager should think of how to manage the player to be playing as a unit not like what some of the players like Mbappe and Vinicius Jr are doing. When ever they lose the ball they hardly track back which causes more damage to the defenders so I feel getting more players is not going to help, hope you saw how they played against PSG with a low defending style, if it continues this way is going to be a problem for Madrid.
They need new defenders not midfielders because is like moving in circles, imagine Real Madrid playing a good defender (Valverde) as a right back, that will kill the way they play and oppositions will get the best of them because some of these players can't play better in positions they are not good at.

Heavy defeats like this opens up eye of the coach to see places the team has lapses. Real thought they were ok and needed no further signings because they thought they have covered up all areas and it seemed so as the won all their games in the CWC except for the opening game which was a draw. The PSG game showed them that they still had lapses to fill and this has made the club to realise that they don't have a proper 10 and a standing DM, they still lack the fluidity of a CB and a LB, this game opened this up and if they fail to address it, they will only excel with the likes of small teams and suffer whenever they meet a big team.
Yes, Vini and Mbappe has a problem we could see that in the PSG game also.

I think I'll blame Alonso for experimenting on that back line, you said something about a 10, I feel Alonso can convert Bellingham as one and also they have Valverde and Tchouaméni can as well play as the defensive midfielders but where the problem lies is the left back but the right back have Alexander Arnold as the right candidate but my question is why was Alonso playing as if he didn't know that the team that is playing against his team is one that their attackers are 100% good in front of goal. Is best to address this issue because if not with time we might be seeing smaller teams beating Madrid by taking advantage of them not playing in their main position.

I don't think he was experimenting on that very game, the two goals were as a result of defensive blunder from Asencio and Rudiger and besides he used his 4 man defensive team. Yeah, just as you said, he can actually deploy Bellingham to play the false 9, that was the position he played in his first season and he was very effective in it but after Perez signed Mbappe, Ancelotti had to change things that was when Bellingham was withdrawn and we saw how he gets missing in big matches. Let's just wait and see how Alonso will organise his team when the season starts.

For me I won't want to take those crazy behavior from Mbappe because he has been the center of attraction that he even forget why he is in the team and what to do to make the team get that dominance against many of their opponents instead it is the other way round. If he (Alonso) changes his mind to play Bellingham he should be the main man for the 10 role and he's over working himself big time and tomorrow they'd go and increase Vinicius Jr and Mbappe's salary when they're not doing well to help the team, that's bad.
When you talk about the defenders I only see Ancelotti's style of arranging and selection of players, if not why would Valverde of all people should be playing the right back while they have Alexander Arnold on the team or Carvajal? This isn't going to work but only brings a very low display. There are some players that while playing them in a wrong position it will make them play as if they're not good and when they play in their main position it won't change anything so is best to set things right.
