Welcome to a new tactical deep dive. Today, we explore the evolving identity of Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso, a club steeped in legacy, now reshaped by a modern footballing mind.
After his unbeaten run with Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso steps into the Bernabéu spotlight with a bold vision: structured pressing, vertical progression, and collective compactness. But can these ideas thrive in a squad built on individual brilliance?
In this video, I break down:
– Xabi’s 3-4-2-1 blueprint and how it’s been adapted for Madrid’s DNA
– His relationist build-up patterns and midfield rotations
– The challenges of implementing Gegenpressing in a star-studded squad
– Tactical mismatches vs deep blocks and how players like Mbappé, Vinícius, and Bellingham fit into the system
– Key moments from matches like the Atlético Madrid clash and Club World Cup that reveal Alonso’s tactical evolution
