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.
