Real Madrid team is seen as not performing well but they have secured their 9 points so far from their 3 games. Xabi Alonso is not used to playing a fancy ball but his winning mentality is his strength. Remember his days in the Bundesliga, Bayern Leverkusen mostly always win their games at the stoppage time even when they trail. Even though his strategy is not the best for fans who suffer continuous heartache due to time, he has always found his way.
It is normal to assume that he's winning now because he has only played against the lower teams in their 3 games but it is not very true. Real Madrid may pull a surprise this season. They don't need a fancy ball, they only need a Xabi Alonso's Tactics and mentality. Vinicius Junior is gradually coming back to his form and he is promising for the season.
There's enough players at Xabi Alonso disposal at the moment but yet, this is not like the Real madrid that we know. Is it that he's too young to coach a team like Madrid or he's inexperienced absolutely, I don't even know what the problem is but seriously speaking, this kinda performance won't take them anywhere. It is okay to play that way and win against average teams but it will definitely be a disaster against top teams. There's no sense of team work but just individual sparkle. They should work to improve their defense and the attack too. It's just getting started but a lot of negativity already happening and it's very bad.
