Save Bellingham: Alonso will change his tactical style due to Real Madrid midfielder

Xavi Alonso will take over Real Madrid this summer. Many people expect that he will change to the three-guard formation based on Ancelotti's original tactical style. However, the Basques now seem to have different ideas.

According to the Ass, Alonso used the 343 formation during his tenure as head coach of Leverkusen. After taking over Real Madrid, he is likely to abandon the tactical system he is familiar with. Starting from 442, this is the formation that Ancelotti often used in the past few years.

reported that it was precisely because of Bellingham that Alonso changed his original intention. The new Real Madrid coach believes that only in the 442 formation can the England international play a greater role in the left midfield position.

It is reported that in the new 442 formation, Rudiger and Asensio/Wyson will serve as centre-backs, Valverde and Chu Armeni will start in the midfield, with Guerrell or Rodrigo on the right (the latter is likely to leave Real Madrid this summer), and Bellingham on the left, and the forward line will be the same as last season: Mbappe and Vinicius.

The senior executives of Real Madrid had always thought that Alonso would adopt the same formation as Leverkusen, but a good coach would adjust his tactical style according to the team's existing lineup, so nothing is unchanged.

One of Alonso's important task starting this summer is to restore Bellingham to its original level. After a difficult season, Real Madrid does not want their star of tomorrow to continue to sink.
