Only if Real Madrid will give him the time, I also would say I’m not convinced with his team performance in the club World Cup. He needs to fix a lot of things, that defense in particular, high profile defenders needs to be there. I would say a good defensive midfielder too, if by the end of this coming season he doesn’t win anything they slot of eye brows will be raised and maybe his future in Real Madrid will be quetioned.
Real Madrid's defense is actually good it's just that some newly recruited players cannot play when they lose to PSG and a number of other players are injured. This is what makes it difficult for Xabi Alonso to face PSG because there are no players who are in the best quality or experienced to be placed in that position.

In addition what needs to be fixed by midfielder because after Modric and Toni Kroos left there was no appropriate substitute figure for the two players so that the attack built by Real Madrid was not yet fully maximal as when the two players were there.


Toni Kroos and Luka Modric left a vacuum at Real Madrid's midfield that needs critical attention, and the club need to find a player suitable replacement who can match their playmaking abilities and tactical display, because both player had a key role in the Madrid’s squad, which to actually find a player of their kind, it will be a bit difficult thing and I think that's where the problem of Madrid currently lies, their frontline is quite good, and they obviously do not have much of problem in their defends side.
The relationship between defense and midfield remains somewhat weak. Real Madrid will be searching for Kroos and Modric. They were already heavily involved in the German last year. Not making a transfer in that area poses a significant risk. I think Xabi is making a critical decision by not making a transfer in that area. I don't know who he'll use in that area, but the player he chooses should be versatile. He should be able to draw Kroos' influence from the player. Also, why did they let the German player retire? He could have performed at a high level for at least two more years.
