In recent weeks, the Spanish press has been almost daily revealing reports of unrest in the Real Madrid dressing room, and Xabi Alonso's situation is becoming more complicated by the day. The Spanish manager is said to have already lost control and the respect of his squad, with many players unhappy about his management style and methods.

Indeed, according to Defensa Central, there are five players who expected to play more regularly under Alonso's reign. Among them are Andriy Lunin, Gonzalo Garcia, Fran Garcia, Endrick, and Dani Ceballos. All of them thought they would get more opportunities than in the past with Alonso in charge, but they are disappointed with how their season is turning out.
