The reality of Xabi Alonso’s situation at Real Madrid – report | OneFootball

A new report from Jose Felix Diaz of AS has clarified the situation surrounding Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, offering a far calmer picture than the noise found online. 

Despite the recent swirl of rumours hinting at tension inside the club or discomfort within the dressing room, the reality is quite different. 

According to the report, Real Madrid have complete support for Alonso and maintain full confidence in his work, even as the team is undergoing a spell of inconsistent performances.

What is being said?

It is said that there is a clear understanding that the issue is not drama or conflict, but simply a lack of stability on the pitch. Alonso himself is fully aware of this. 

He understands what Real Madrid represents, the standards expected, and the weight of every result. Media pressure is nothing new to him. 

Instead of feeling overwhelmed, he recognises that the period ahead will be defining and that this is precisely the kind of challenge he signed up for.

Right now, the manager’s focus is to rebuild the team’s strength, both mentally and tactically. 

The rumours circulating online stem mainly from the disappointment caused by last week’s unexpected drop in performance and what followed internally was not panic, but reflection. 

The coaching staff and the directors have taken a step back, looking closely at everything that unfolded and its possible consequences before deciding how to move forward.

Real Madrid have complete confidence

Confidence in Alonso has not been shaken, even if certain decisions, such as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s brief involvement against Liverpool, could have played out differently. 

The belief is that there is still enough time to rediscover the competitive edge that appears in flashes but hasn’t yet become permanent. 

Now, Alonso sees this as a key moment for both himself and the squad. His mission is to restore the team’s aggression and identity, ensuring that the intensity shown in short bursts becomes a regular feature.
