exactly, the most difficult job there is for the coach, and it is a very difficult job, due to the difficulties he finds himself in due to the fact that the players are young and talented, and can create problems, I understand the difficulty but he must move forward and try to unite these players and make them become a strong team like it was before
The job is really difficult for Xabi Alonso because he is managing players that are rich and influential on one part and a remarkable team that is accustomed to winning on the other part. Xabi will have a hard time being fulling in charge of the team due to the rivalry and ego in the players especially Vinicius Jr and Kylan Mbappe. If I were the coach, I will bench them a couple of times so they can come down to earth and give their best. No matter what, I still believe that Real Madrid will make a great rival to Barcelona this season.
I did not think that the narrative that the players are bigger than the coach can manage is a real one. Also remember that Ancelloti played with this set of players and could not win anything for the season. It is a team chemistry problem and not an individual problem. The day Real Madrid got it wrong was the day they signed mbappé who plays the same wing with vinícius while Vinicius was at his prime.
Keep only Vini Junior and see Real Madrid return to their glory days;
Keep only Mbappe and see Real Madrid return to their glory days;
The unsaid competition among the players is alarming and no coach, apart from Mourinho will benefit from this situation.
I feel for Xavi for leaving his well build team to inherit this disaster from Ancelloti. Let's believe he will fix it gradually, but don't expect an overnight wonders. Barcelona will still be better than them, atleast for this season.
