Arrived at Real Madrid shortly before the Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso had a fairly complicated first experience. After having had to compose without Kylian Mbappé, sick, during the majority of the competition, the Madrid neo-manager suffered a first debacle in the semi-final of the competition, against Paris Saint-Germain (4-0). And since his arrival, the ex-manager of Bayer Leverkusen has already had some preferences to build his new team, with the integration of Gonzalo Garcia.
But also with different choices from Carlo Ancelotti, including Dean Huijsen and Arda Güler, who took over and gained the confidence of the Basque coach. And necessarily, others have lost points. This is particularly the case of Brahim Díaz (25 years old). Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso, the Moroccan international has played only 45 minutes against Pachuca, in the group stage. Against only 26 against Al-Hilal and PSG, and 9 against RB Salzburg. While he did not even come into play against Juventus and Dortmund.
Brahim Díaz has lost points
A change in drastic status, when he was one of Carlo Ancelotti's favorite rotations just a few weeks ago. Brahim Díaz has not attracted his new manager, who seeks to define new hierarchies within the team. Xabi Alonso seems to trust Arda Guller more and awaits the arrival of Franco Mastantuono, a target appreciated by the 43 -year -old manager and whose Real Madrid has invested 63.2 million euros to enlist him.
But according to ASthat will not question the future of the Moroccan, who wishes to win in Madrid. “Today, we have a new exceptional coach who knows the club perfectly and knows what he expects from us. I have always had the ambition to succeed here, this is my goal from the start ”he explained, at the end of June. An extension is almost acted, but he will have to fight to have an important place next season. And Rodrygo’s probable start could make things right.
