I cant see the Real Madrid game enterely but i dont see yet the Xabi Alonso magic hand over them, i mean they are good yes but i still feel like Xabi can make them play a much better football than this, he just need to fin the correct midfield and adjust some minor things betweent he players.
Vinicius from the bench can be a very good change like we saw yesterday.
I clearly understand what you are talking about, but since Real Madrid's performance wasn't solid last season and Xabi Alonso brought in new players to Real Madrid squad this season, you shouldn't expect Real Madrid to easily adopt Xabi Alonso football; it will take quite some time before Xabi Alonso football will materialize in Real Madrid team. I believe if Jude Bellingham returns from injury, Real Madrid's performance will improve greatly, so Xabi Alonso just need time at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid will dominate La Liga again.
