Real Madrid 1-1 new moon: Alonso misses his debut, young Real Madrid is still looking for the right model

The performance of European giants in the first round of the Club World Cup was indeed far less smooth than that of South American clubs. Before this, many European giants had problems with their car accidents. Real Madrid, who played this morning, did not win the first victory under the new coach Xavi Alonso. They just tied with Saudi Riyadh Crescent and scored 1 point. Before the game, most media were building momentum for Real Madrid. Although this summer transfer window has not officially opened, Real Madrid, which has completed the change of coaches and purchased multiple new players, has also successfully won everyone's attention. In particular, the strength of the new coach Xavi Alonso and whether he is qualified to replace Ancelotti are the focus of many people's attention.

Therefore, the first battle against the Riyadh Crescent became the key.

In this game, Real Madrid basically arranged the main lineup and new players to play. Xavi Alonso took out the former Real Madrid famous lineup 4-3-3 to fight the opponent, not the three-center-back system he is familiar with. Wyson is partnered with Asensio and forms the back defense with Arnold and Garcia; the midfielder is Valverde, Joan Ammeni and Bellingham; the forward line is Rodrigo and Vinicius, and the young player Gonzalo who broke out.

Of course, the opponent Xinyue is not weak. There are familiar Saudi international Dosari, including Milinkovic, Malcolm, Lodi, Culibali, Cancelo, Ruben Neves, Bunu, etc. who have worked in the continental region for several seasons. Therefore, they will definitely put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid. This is indeed the case after the start of the game. Milinkovic and Neves form a double midfielder in the middle to ensure that they are not afraid of Real Madrid at all. They have a more tacit understanding in offense and defense conversion. In the 3rd and 12th minutes, they took the lead in creating opportunities to create threats to Real Madrid.

But gradually Real Madrid's strength advantage was revealed. The Brazilian assault combination became a target that Riyadh was difficult to defend against. Unfortunately, their strength was slightly worse when they seized the opportunity and their shots were outrageous. The 34th minute scored was his own standard cooperation model. From interception, counterattack, creating opportunities to scoring, it was indeed very rapid. This was their ability to rule Europe in the past.

However, the worrying new defense seems to be in a slightly poor state. Asensio's foul gave the opponent a chance to shoot, and Ruben Neves scored.

In fact, at the end of the game, the La Liga giants had the chance to complete the final shot, but unfortunately, Valverde's point shot was actually saved.

Overall, there are some problems in Real Madrid last season in this game, such as having low strength in seizing opportunities, not having a tacit understanding in the middle, and not being stable enough in the defense; however, there is a new player who brings help, their average age is only 24.3 years old, which has indeed improved a lot compared to last season's old age. This will help them activate their former suppression and counterattack routine. As long as Real Madrid makes high-pressure pressing and creates mistakes and counterattacking and scoring, it is indeed difficult to defeat them.
