Xavi Alonso officially announced that he would leave Leverkusen after the end of this season, just one step away from taking over Real Madrid. The 43-year-old former midfielder core will return to the Bernabeu as Ancelotti's successor. Anoso has jumped to the top coach with the Rockets' speed with the Rockets' speed with his outstanding performance in coaching Leverkusen in the 2023/24 season.

Tactical innovation: The three central defenders system landed at the Bernabeu

According to the "Marca", Alonso will enter Real Madrid with a distinctive tactical imprint. This core system, which is derived from Leverkusen's successful experience, will be based on the 3-4-3 formation. Since starting his coaching career with Real Sociedad B, Alonso has further polished and improved other tactical philosophies at the pharmaceutical factory, especially trusting the 3-4-3 or variant 3-4-2-1 system.

The core of this system lies in the configuration of three defenders, requiring players to have two key qualities: the calm mind of the backcourt organization and the decisive ability of individual soldiers to fight. In front of the defense line, Alonso leaned on his double back to build a wall of iron. On the offensive end, the tactical framework aims to liberate the creativity engine. Just as the demonstration effect shown by Wilz, it also drives the wingback to push up strongly. Although Real Madrid's existing attack group will affect the details of the system's adaptation, Alonso's tactical blueprint has set a clear starting point.

lineup reconstruction: three major signing directions surfaced. The report further pointed out that Alonso's potential tactical changes are profoundly affecting Real Madrid's transfer strategy. Arnold, who will join this summer, perfectly fits the Spanish coach's ultimate imagination of the wingback: wind-like speed, superb technology and unpredictable offensive threats. To this end, the Galaxy battleship is looking for mirror-level players to fill the gap on the other flank guards.

In addition, as revealed by multiple parties, the club will also focus on the central defender and midfield positions. Heysen is regarded as a popular candidate for the central defender to strengthen, and the midfield area will also usher in fresh blood. As Real Madrid is about to embark on a new era, Alonso will bring a completely different tactical system from the Ancelotti era.

Flexible philosophy: The wisdom of the system serving stars

It is worth noting that although I have a special liking for a specific system, this Spanish young coach is also well versed in the ways of adapting. He always emphasizes tactical adaptability and will dynamically adjust the system details according to the player's characteristics. This flexible thinking of "star first" may be the key bargaining chip for Alonso to gain a foothold in the Bernabeu, where superstars are gathered.
