Official announcement! Alonso leaves the pharmaceutical factory, Real Madrid plans to build a three-center-back system, and An Shuai leaves 2 problems for Brother Long

43-year-old Leverkusen coach Alonso confirmed that he will leave the team after the end of this season. Alonso has the last two games to coach Leverkusen, with opponents being Dortmund and Mainz, who has been confirmed to rank second in the Bundesliga. Alonso bid farewell to Leverkusen, and his future home is already an open secret. Official announcement! Alonso left the pharmaceutical factory, Real Madrid planned a three-center-back system, and An Shuai left two difficult problems for Brother Long.

Alonso took over Leverkusen in October 2022, leading the team to create history last season, leading Leverkusen to unbeaten 51 consecutive games, setting a football record, and losing 1 game throughout the season. The pharmaceutical factory won the Bundesliga championship with an unbeaten record, topped the Bundesliga for the first time in the team's history, and won the German Cup championship, losing to Atlanta in the UEFA Cup final. Leverkusen won the German Super Cup championship this season, and Alonso's coaching performance at Leverkusen is brilliant.

According to sources such as Romano, Le Marca, and Bistro Alonso will go to Real Madrid to coach, and he will replace Ancelotti and become Real Madrid's new head coach. Alonso played for Real Madrid when he was a player. An Shuai was his head coach. Now Alonso has successfully leveled up as the head coach and returned to Real Madrid as another identity.

Alonso went to Real Madrid to coach, which means that Real Madrid's tactical system will undergo a huge change. Real Madrid has been using a four-guard formation in recent years, but Alonso's conventional formation arrangement for success in Leverkusen is three central defenders. 3421 is Alonso's most commonly used formation. He puts two wingback players on the wing and relies more on the attack on both wings. After Alonso comes to Real Madrid, he should follow his previous tactics at the pharmaceutical factory.

Real Madrid missed the championship in the Champions League, the King's Cup and the Spanish Super League this season. La Liga is currently 4 points behind Barcelona and ranks second in the standings. There are only 4 rounds of games, and it is not difficult to win the championship. Poor performance is the most fundamental reason why Real Madrid gave up An Shuai. There are two obvious problems with Real Madrid this season, and An Shuai has not solved it.

No. 1, the issue of coexistence between Vinicius and Mbappe. Both are left wingers with fast speed and strong impact. An Shuai asked Vinicius to play on the left side, and Mbappe was placed in the center position, but the effect was really average. How would Alonso use these two powerful forwards with a total value of 370 million euros? Second, Real Madrid's penalty kick right issue. Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham all played penalty kicks for Real Madrid this season, and there is no clear candidate for Real Madrid's first penalty kicker. In other words, An Shuai has never determined who the "No. 1 Real Madrid" is, and Alonso needs to make a choice.
