Alonso praised the new star: Gonzalo reminds me of Raul! The tactical code behind Real Madrid s 3-0 victory

At the post-match press conference where Real Madrid defeated Red Bull Salzburg 3-0, coach Xavi Alonso caused an uproar. When asked about his opinion on Castia's rising star Gonzalo Garcia, the famous Spanish coach did not hide his appreciation: "He reminded me of Raul - always appearing in the right position and always waiting for opportunities." Such an evaluation is undoubtedly the highest praise for a young player who has just emerged.

The new era between Alonso and Real Madrid

Since taking over Real Madrid's coaching stick, Alonso has shown a unique coaching style. As a former midfielder, his understanding of football is deeply rooted in the bones, and this understanding is gradually transforming into the team's actual combat power. In this game against Salzburg Red Bull, Real Madrid's maturity and stability are the perfect embodiment of Alonso's football philosophy.

"We were very serious in the first half, played well, and patiently controlled the rhythm of the game," Alonso concluded after the game, "We know that the game cannot be won in 10 minutes, and we must be mature enough to find opportunities. " This tactical patience is one of the most significant changes in Real Madrid under Alonso's rule.

Tactical Revolution of the Three Central Defense System

In this game, Alonso boldly launched the three central defense system, and this tactical adjustment achieved immediate results. "It's always in my mind, and the players have enough football wisdom to understand why we use them like this," Alonso explained, "We gain a lot of stability and control, and the space in the middle is handled very well. I like this flexibility. "

The three-center-back system not only provides Real Madrid with stronger defensive stability, but more importantly, it unlocks the offensive potential of wide players. Vinicius gains more freedom in this system, which can create threats in the middle and create widths with pulling edges. This tactical flexibility is the core of Alonso's football philosophy.

Castia's future star

Gonzalo Garcia's performance is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of the game. The young forward from Castia proved the value of the youth training system with his performance. "I know him well, I've been following Castia," Alonso revealed, "I'm not surprised to be honest. He is the typical No. 9 player. "

likens a young player to Raul, which is rare in Real Madrid's history. As a Real Madrid legend, Raul is not only known for his outstanding skills and awareness, but also for his understanding of the game and his ability to grasp the timing. Alonso's interest is Garcia's inherent football wisdom.

"Castia's players - they will fight for it when they get the opportunity," Alonso continued, "That's what he is doing. We need him more. We want him to stay here, and we are happy for him." These words are not only an affirmation of Garcia's personal opinion, but also an recognition of the entire youth training system.

Dynamic balance of midfield

In the midfield configuration, Alonso's use of Bellingham and Arda Guller is quite ingenious. "It has to be different heights," Alonso explained, "Jude brings advantages online and has strong ability to be in place. And Alda has good footwork in the midfield, has excellent ball control, and knows how to get close to the defender... He does a good job. I am happy for both of them. "

This combination of high and low midfield combination not only ensures the team's defensive hardness, but also provides enough creativity. Bellingham's forward-spinning ability and Guller's organizational scheduling form a perfect complement, which is an important part of Alonso's tactical system.

Vinicius's new role

Alonso seemed particularly excited when talking about Vinius's performance. "I was impressed not only by goals and assists, but also by his defensive input. This allowed us to play in unity. In the offense, he gained more freedom in the middle, rather than on the wing. "

Vinicius's transformation from a wing to a libero in the middle demonstrated the adaptability and football wisdom of the Brazilian star. When asked about the possibility of Vinicius being in the middle and Mbappe being in the edge, Alonso gave a positive answer: "They can do it, Vini is from the outside and Killian is from the inside... This is not mutually exclusive, things can work. "

Critical moments of injury recovery

In terms of player injuries, Alonso also gave the latest news. Regarding Mbappe's injury, he said: "We hope he will come back, we expect him to be in his best form. I can't say he will play, but we are optimistic about Tuesday." And for Rudiger, Alonso explained: "He has cramps... He has been out for nearly two months. He is a huge fortune for us. "

Endrik's recovery is also touching. "He is in the process of recovery," Alonso revealed, "We hope he will come back soon; he will come to the United States to train with the team soon. I count on him. Real Madrid's future prospects

Looking forward to the upcoming Club World Cup and the new season, Alonso maintains a cautious optimism. "The decision about the start of the 2025-26 season has not yet... We focus on participating in the World Cup with existing personnel. The World Cup will tell you something, but it has not yet decided. "

This pragmatic attitude is exactly the embodiment of Alonso's coaching style. He won't make a promise easily, but he will do his best to prepare for every game. "We have Juventus, I'm happier. The temperature and the stadium are better... We are still in the early stages. Caution. "

Alonso's leadership and Real Madrid Vision

From this game and post-match interviews, we can clearly see the changes Alonso brings to Real Madrid. He is not only a master of tactics, but also an excellent psychologist and manager. He knows how to stimulate the potential of young players, how to balance the team's offense and defense system, and how to make the right decisions at critical moments.

"We are making progress," Alonso concluded, "The interesting stage is now beginning." This sentence is not only a summary of the current situation, but also a prospect for the future. Under Alonso's leadership, Real Madrid is regaining the kingly style, the calm but lethal game style.

When a coach can bring up a legendary name like Raul, when Castia's young players can stand up at critical moments, and when the tactical system can be so flexible and changeable, we have reason to believe that Real Madrid's future will be even more brilliant. Alonso is not only reshaping the team's technical and tactical style, but also reshaping the spiritual core of Real Madrid - the royal temperament that never gives up and pursues perfection.
