Some players at Real Madrid are unhappy with the head coach's tactical formations and are openly protesting against Xabi Alonso.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to Cadena SER, some of these players are not satisfied with their positions and the coach's decisions, which has led to increased tension within the club.
According to the source, Vinicius Junior is not inclined to sign a new contract while Xabi Alonso is in charge. Federico Valverde is unhappy with being played as a right-back and only sees himself in central midfield. Jude Bellingham feels he is not being used to his full potential in the new scheme. Rodrigo and Brahim Diaz are not happy with the rotation and role distribution in attack. Endrick does not feel like a key figure in the team's starting plans. Ferland Mendy is reportedly dissatisfied with the change of his position.
However, there is also a group of players in the team who fully support the head coach. Among them, Dani Ceballos Heysen, Carlos Alvares Carreras, Thibaut Courtois, Arda Guler, and Kylian Mbappe are especially noted. It is emphasized that these players support Alonso's decisions and the game he implements.
Real Madrid's 2-2 draw with Elche in the last round of La Liga has also strengthened speculation that the situation within the team is unstable.
It will become clearer in the coming days how the Real Madrid management will react to the growing discontent, whether Xabi Alonso will retain control of the team, and what changes will be made during the season.
Some media outlets write that Xabi Alonso's future in the team will be determined by the upcoming games. There are even speculations that he may be replaced by Zidane.
