Everyone expects Xabi Alonso to do a great job at Real Madrid, that's why he was hired. Plus, I really like his tactics! I'm sure we'll see great results with him in charge of the team, maybe not immediately but if Florentino Perez has the patience to wait, we could see what Xabi is really made of.
They have the best players in the team, and I can beat anyone and win a lot of trophies, the fans will be happy.
And I don't blame them for expecting so much from Xabi Alonso because of what is happening in Real Madrid recently and since alonso seem to be promising from the beginning so since the season will soon commence the expectation at people have on Alonso must come to pass because these people seem to be getting tired of Madrid's incompetence and failure to be able to win win anything in fact it as made people lose faith in them and with the kind of players they have they are not suppose to be in the situation they are now.
I feel that Xavi Alonso will be caught up in a setup web. I said this because it seems that Real Madrid has forgotten how they ended this season trophy-less. Someone is supposed to sing this to their ear every morning so that they can manage their expectations from Xavi Alonso.
If it is true that Real Madrid ended the season trophyless, if Xavi Alonso is able to win them just 1 trophy, will that not be an improvement from what is already obtainable? Even if he ends up trophyless again, he should be given time to adapt in the team.
Real Madrid fans and management doesn't have such patience to give coaches time to adapt, that is why I feel for Xavi Alonso every now and then and I keep praying for him to succeed so as not to be disgraced by Real Madrid.
I am also afraid for him because he keeps benching guys that will sacrifice their all to win a place in his squad.
