Real Madrid played its first match under Xabi Alonso's orders against Al Hilal and a first data comes out: the kilometers traveled.
A failed first period, a second best but a draw in the end which did not satisfy the Madrid public and which even generated frustration of the fact that some players, especially the stars, were not there.
Last season, the kilometers traveled by Real Madrid were in particular a real subject of debate since the team ran less, even much less than its opponents, particularly in the Champions League.
A notable improvement
Although the context is particular due to the playing conditions (very hot temperature, significant humidity) and the very recent arrival of Xabi Alonso, the El Chiringuito program went to analyze a few statistics after the match against Al Hilal and an element comes out: the number of kilometers traveled.
🏃 This Real Madrid already runs more.
🏅 Gonzalo García, the one who made the most kilometers.

Indeed, when he entered the World Cup, the team traveled 109.2 kilometers, which is greater than the Real Madrid average under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti last season. Concretely, in Liga, Real traveled 106 kilometers per match on average and 108 kilometers in the Champions League.
In addition, the young Gonzalo (10.5 km) was the most active player in this part, ahead of Fede Valverde (10.4 km), Tchouaméni and Fran Garcia (10.3 kms). We also note that Derne Güler, in 45 minutes, traveled 6.3 kilometers. Vinicius Junior, with 7.8 kilometers, is the man who made the least effort in this direction.
To go further with the Brazilian, El Chiringuito stressed that 4 teammates have achieved at least one race faster than Vinicius Junior in this match and that he only made a pass for Rodrygo and another for Gonzalo on the whole game.
