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 know that this isn’t going to be easy for Xabi Alonso, as many people were thinking that if he started coaching Real Madrid, everything would get better, and the team's performance would just improve. The truth is, Real Madrid’s form will improve, and Alonso will also achieve Real Madrid's aims, but that will take time not like many people are thinking. The kind of players Alonso was dealing with when he was coaching Bayer Leverkusen were more like average world-class players. But now, at Real Madrid, he’s working with mostly world class players. So, coaching Real Madrid will be different. He will try to communicate with them and treat them in a way that will help them quickly understand his approach.

They are two characters who like to stay at the centre of attention and Mbappe is living proof, he is strong for goodness sake, but he is doing everything he can to always be at the centre of attention and then he creates disagreements with the other players and makes the team play badly.

It always looks like this when there are two or more top players in a team. Everyone will want to get the attention of people, and with that, each player will disagree with the other. But a better and more experienced coach will be able to solve the problem. So, it’s left to Alonso to use his experience and talk to his players so they can achieve their goals. Without that, currently, with Real Madrid's squad, their form will not be stable, and the team will hardly achieve its aims
