Alonso saves Real Madrid in 9 days! Never beloved to the Miracle of the Club World Cup

What can I do in nine days? For ordinary people, it may be just an ordinary work week. But for Xavi Alonso, these nine days are enough to rewrite the fate of Real Madrid, transforming from Florentino's "hot potato" into a savior in the hearts of fans.

When Ancelotti hurriedly left the Bernabeu and rushed to Brazil to coach the national team, what was left to Real Madrid was a mess full of holes. Florentino originally did not want Alonso to take over the team in such a hasty situation, and he was more inclined to allow Ancelotti to complete his journey to the Club World Cup in the United States. However, the Italian coach was eager to start his coaching career as the Brazilian national team, and terminated his contract and left the team one year early, throwing this "hot potato" to the former Real Madrid midfielder.

Three wins and one draw, successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup - this report card seems dull, but it carries all the hopes of Real Madrid this season. Whether from a competitive level or economic perspective, this event has become the last straw to save Real Madrid's entire season. And what created all this was Alonso, who had only nine days of preparation time and had only three days to get along with the team in the first match against Saudi Hillal.

From chaos to order, Alonso brought not only tactical innovation, but also a complete reshaping of football philosophy. Farewell to the "constructive anarchism" of the Ancelotti era and the chaos and disorder on the defensive end, this tactical master from Tolosa took office with his mindful modern football philosophy. High-level pressing, three-center-back system, precise pass-and-coordination, compact formation and team battles with both offense and defense - these new concepts are sprinkled on Real Madrid soldiers who are accustomed to traditional playing styles.

"Due to the tight time, we can only convey our ideas through a large number of video analysis. " Alonso's words reveal the biggest challenge he faces. How to make players understand and implement a brand new tactical system in the shortest time? The former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder core chose the most direct way - whoever wants to get on the boat will get on the boat, and those who don't want to stay on the shore.

changes are obvious. The arrival of new players Huy once and Alexander Arnold provided Alonso with a basis for tactical adjustment. He decisively loaned Guller out, allowing Rodrigo, Lucas Vazquez and Asensio to sit on the bench. Especially Asensio, who made serious mistakes against Hillal and Pachuca, almost ruined the team's hope of promotion and was completely cut into the cold palace.

With Mbappe's absence, Alonso boldly activated the youth training striker Gonzalo, a decision reflecting his trust in young players and his plans for the future. What is even more surprising is that he found a key puzzle for the three-center-back system in Chu Ameni. This adjustment not only released Fran Garcia's offensive talent on the left, but also made the entire defense line more stable.

Valverde regained his vitality under Alonso's training, and stepped forward to a new position near the penalty area to make the Uruguayan midfielder feel like fish in water. Vinicius has also gradually regained his form in recent games and has re-expressed his breakthrough ability that makes his opponent frightened. Of course, Bellingham's physical condition and tactical integration still need time to be adjusted, and Rudiger's defensive stability also needs to be restored, but with the return of players such as Mastantuono, Carvajal, Militon and Camavenga, Alonso's tactical blueprint will become more complete.

Ever since he was not optimistic to creating miracles, Alonso used nine days to prove what it means to turn decay into magic. This is not just a successful firefighting, but more like the beginning of a new era in Real Madrid. While other giants were still struggling with their tactics, Real Madrid had already stepped on the fast lane of modern football under Alonso. The journey of the Club World Cup continues, but Alonso has answered all questions with practical actions. This once-"hot potato" is now emitting a dazzling light, illuminating Real Madrid's path to glory. Nine days change a team, such a miracle may only happen in the football world, and Alonso is the creator of this miracle.
