3 consecutive games without a win! Undercurrents are surging within Real Madrid and Alonso is in desperate need of coaching position

Football

Right now, Real Madrid tops La Liga and is firmly in the top eight in the Champions League. This Thursday, Real Madrid will visit Olympiacos. Logically speaking, coach Alonso's position should be rock solid. But the reality is that Real Madrid has lost three consecutive games, and Alonso's coaching ability has been questioned. Although it has not yet reached the point where "get out of class is about to end", there are already undercurrents within Real Madrid.

In this round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew 2-2 away with newly promoted Elche. Throughout the game, Real Madrid was suppressed by their opponents and fell behind twice on the road. The opponents scored goals from Real Madrid's own youth training products (Alex Febas and Alvaro Rodriguez); in the end, they managed to equalize with a goal from Bellingham that should have been ruled out - Vinicius fouled Elche goalkeeper Peña first.

After the game, the Spanish media circle exploded. There are three explosive points: 1. Real Madrid has lost three consecutive games (losing to Liverpool in the Champions League, tying with Rayo Vallecano in the league, and tying with Elche); 2. The team played unconvincingly; 3. Barcelona is chasing closely in the standings, and the lead has been reduced from 5 points to 1 point.

For harsh critics, Alonso always uses "optimistic and positive" terms to analyze the game, which itself adds fuel to the fire. The 44-year-old has done nothing wrong: Real Madrid are still rebuilding and will struggle to score at least one point on Sunday. But apart from "fighting", there are really not many things that can make people excited at the moment.

What troubles him even more than the bad results of these three games is the characterization that the media continues to amplify: "There was a 'disconnection' between him and the players, and the players couldn't understand what tactics he wanted to play." For example: Thomas Roncero - the ace reporter of "AS", a commentator on both radio and television, the famous "Real Madrid die-hard", and calls himself "a fan who shouts with a typewriter." After the game on Sunday, he was asked "How would the worry index be on a scale of 1-10?" His answer was: "4 points."

"I would like to believe that Alonso can adjust back. But I am not sure whether he and the players are on a united front now; if the players are willing to fight for him, he will play It's even more terrible if the players are still so listless. Players are only willing to fight when they are forced into a corner. If it is like this in Athens next Sunday, it will not be 4, but 9.5."

In fact, Roncero is already considered "courteous". The front page of "Marca" took turns bombarding:

-"Real Madrid is suffering!"

-"Real Madrid has forgotten how to win!"

-"This performance 'damaged' Alonso!"

- "Alonso is starting to lose control!"

Alonso did not please the media when he was a player. Now he still "trades results for respect". No one "runs public relations" for him, which has become an Achilles heel. During Florentino's tenure, 10 coaches have failed to last between 3 months and 1 year - the most recent two are Benitez and Lopetegui. Are you saying Alonso will be dismissed mid-season? It sounds absurd and ridiculous, but the crisis is indeed right around the corner. The best antidote is simple: win, however you want. The treatment begins in Athens.
