The new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso I think is still trying to find the best playing pattern for this team and from the positives I've seen so far, I'm optimistic Real Madrid Wil ve challenging for the biggest trophies this campaign.
From the Real Madrid matches I've watched, they've struggled with scoring. Given the little time Xabi Alonso has been with this team, I expected him to have developed a better pattern by now. I feel it's getting too late. Because if they play a strong team, the excuse that Xabi Alonso is still trying to fix the team won't be accepted by the management and fans. Especially now that the Champions League is about to start, and the challenges there are different from those in La Liga. Mallorca's defense was too solid for Real Madrid to penetrate, which I didn't expect to be such a challenge. The main problem for Real Madrid is midfield coordination.
Weaker teams playing against Real Madrid are constantly closing in on defense. We know that defending teams are very difficult to open up. Real Madrid is unlucky because they don't play a strong team that can create space for them. When they play a strong team, we might see more scoring opportunities, as the opposing team can create chances at the back. They may have scored twice in the Mallorca match, but
all three goals were disallowed by VAR.
