Xabi Alonso is talented and has already proven his ability. So the chances of Alonso failing with Madrid are very low. We have seen Madrid's stable performance in the FIFA Club World Cup matches. But the team's defense completely collapsed against PSG. Alonso will have to try to find the reason for this defeat.
We have seen Madrid's shaky defense since the previous season. Alonso's main responsibility this season is to strengthen the defense. If Madrid can strengthen their defense , their internal problems will be reduced to a large extent. So Alonso should now focus completely on strengthening Madrid's defense.
Real Madrid got humbled by Paris Saint-Germain in the club world cup and there's absolutely nothing to reason about, the best team win and lift the trophy. Real Madrid is trying so hard to accommodate potential players although it's clearly obvious they couldn't stand and fight against the elite teams, alot happen resulting in them sitting back the corner. I don't think they're ready yet to hold onto winning games except they're done recruiting new players. Real Madrid new coach, Xabi Alonso have surpassed any doubts holding him back from been in the category of top managers. He's a crucial manager where no one can easily beat him and get away with it.
