The biggest worry for me is the start of Xabi Alonso's new season and facing a relatively strong opponent like Osasuna at the beginning. Although on paper Real Madrid are stronger than Osasuna and are the favorites to win, we should not forget that this is the first match of Xabi Alonso's season. We may even see some players make their debuts.
In all aspects, we should not be sure of a Real Madrid win and we should not ignore Osasuna. Because I have doubts about how the new players will perform with the new coach's tactics. Even Madrid's recent performance is not very good. I am not expecting Real Madrid to win yet, because we have to give Xabi Alonso more time and be prepared for unexpected results.
I don't know for sure if Real Madrid are going to make a lead goal against Osasuna later before the game end but we can agreed that this team doesn't really have any toughness like it was in the past. Prime Anceloti boys had good game sequence and luck combine, the say they don't show who they are as performers they display their luck mind game and it worked for them but right now, both the performance and the luck isn't longer guaranteed again.
Xabi will find it difficult to win the league, for now the only team I can think that are bad ass or going to remain like that is Barcelona. Before Real Madrid are going to become top team on the table, Barcelona will be having winning streaks everywhere becaki don't know exactly where this guys got there energy they imprint on their players, they score, play well and don't relent. This was How Real Madrid was before everything about the club enters another universe.
