Xabi is not a type of coach who relied upon the individual brilliance. He's 180 degree of Ancellotti. So decision to remove Rodrygo from the club may be right. There are too many superstars in the squad, and it makes the team become unbalanced. I'd like to see Madrid to play as a collective team, not one man show team.
Other than Rodrygo, I'd like to see them to get rid Vini if they can. They must stop to keep a selfish player like him.
Real Madrid will never take the risk of being dependent on a specific player. Madrid is strong as a team. And that is why we see Madrid playing well consistently in all platform . Madrid competes for the title in both La Liga and Champions League. If they depend on a specific player, it is very difficult to continue to perform well consistently on each platform. at the same time it is very risky. Xabi Alonso is an experienced coach. Even at Leverkusen we saw that Alonso was not dependent on a specific player. He did not create his match strategy. And he will do the same in Madrid.
