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.
By the way, Vinícius is not such a simple player, and you definitely need to find the right approach to him. Especially now, with Mbappé's arrival, problems have started regarding Vinícius's salary. He wants to earn the same as Mbappé because he now considers himself an equally valuable player. But Mbappé’s salary is significantly higher than Vinícius’s, and that alone can already create some internal conflicts. I think Alonso doesn't yet have the experience to resolve such internal issues, but he needs to learn how to deal with them. And he needs to learn quickly, because if misunderstandings start within the team, it will definitely affect the results.
It's largely true that Vini is not such an simple player, the reason for his anger at the moment is that he probably wants equal priority like Mbappe because we always see on the field that he has worked harder than Mbappe. He is able to make numerous passes in the game and that is very important for Real Madrid Football Club, so I think he should be paid the same salary as Mbappe. You are right that there is an internal conflict brewing within this team, so I think that even if this coach doesn't have experience in this job, still he should properly fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher and create a unassuming, kindness and of course affectionate bond between them.
Real Madrid will always give priority to Mbappe because Real Madrid has waited a long time to bring Mbappe to their club. Think about one thing, Real Madrid never waits for any player, but they did not sign any other player for Mbappe, rather they brought Mbappe to the team and waited enough time to bring him to the team. What you said about Vinicius Junior is absolutely right, this player has a lot of contribution to the current Real Madrid and in every match it is seen that this player works hard and passes the ball to his teammates enough, so it is not his fault to ask for equal priority or equal salary to Mbappe. However, I am thinking about another thing, which is that the conflict that has arisen between the players now should not be like the PSG of the past, but then the team's performance will definitely come back.
