Coach Xabi Alonso is facing the risk of being fired if Real Madrid’s results and performances do not improve immediately.
According to The Atheltic, Xabi Alonso is under increasing pressure after a series of poor results for the Royal team.
A description from within the team said that the current situation is “very difficult” because Real Madrid are playing badly. Fans even compared the performance against Girona to nothing less than a disaster.
Therefore, the upcoming matches of Los Blancos will be especially important because the club’s leadership requires more convincing results and performances on the field.
Real have made a good start to La Liga under Alonso, winning 10 of their first 11 games. However, there has been discontent among key players, such as Vinicius.
Many other members of the squad were also unhappy with Alonso’s tactics and philosophy, as it did not give them the freedom they had before.
The Spanish tactician struggled to balance the squad, lining up Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham to play together.
According to the radio program El Partidazo de COPE, 6 players have ideas against coach Xabi Alonso, including Fede Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Endrick and Ferland Mendy.
The main hot spot is the “not so good” relationship between Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Jr.
The 44-year-old coach has left Vinicius Jr out of the starting lineup four times since the start of the season. The Brazilian star has also only played the full 90 minutes in four matches.
Spanish press also said that Vini will refuse to sign a new contract until the situation is resolved – a nightmare scenario for the Royal team’s leadership.
