There have been 2 serious problems for Real Madrid for a long time:

- Many injuries that made big difficulties for the manager
- Selfishness of the attacking line

Real Madrid couldn't show a pure team performance. Even Xabi Alonso admits that and works on a solution for it. There is such a lovely squad but can't reach their full potential yet.

The injuries that have befallen several players are not limited to Real Madrid; other clubs can also be affected by this problem, as experienced by Man City last season. The selfishness of the attacking line cannot be fully handled, especially since they have two superstars who are competing with each other to become the main star in the team. Alonso must be able to build good chemistry between Vinicius and Mbappe. He needs to train their minds to help each other for the benefit of the team, not just pursue individual achievements. The defeat in the Club World Cup should be used as a lesson and the need to evaluate the shortcomings in the squad so that they can perform optimally. Alonso has certainly found the weaknesses in his squad so he asked the management to bring in several new players.

If they can capitalize on the individual performances of Vinicius and Mbappe to inspire the rest of Real Madrid and keep their experience to the best of their ability, then good times are ahead for them next season. Xabi Alonso who started with the Club World Cup could have made a good start but could not keep up with the players. Mbappe sickness and the lack of coordination of the right players in the defense have created a frustrating situation instead of an impressive game. You can blame some players for injuries or lack of coordination but I think the team needs a major overhaul so that it can compete on the field with a strong team for next season.

You are right that Xabi has already informed the team management about the weaknesses of the team and has given them the requisition to take the necessary measures. I think the team management will take the necessary measures to take the squad to a stronger level considering their own capabilities.
