With the official start of the La Liga, for Real Madrid, they are eager to start the new season with a victory, as they reorganized their lineup during the offseason and changed coaches. Just now, Spanish media exposed a starting lineup for Real Madrid to play against Osasuna in the first round. It is not difficult to see from this that coach Alonso has already lined up the strongest starting lineup as possible.

First of all, the goalkeeper position is still Courtois. His current state and combat power are top-notch. Real Madrid still needs to rely on the performance of Belgian stars on the goal line this season. Let's look at the defense line again. Since Rudiger threw debris at the referee last season, the German defender cannot play in the first round of the league in the new season. This gave Alonso a very headache, and he was forced to line up a three-guard formation. From left to right are Militon, Chu Ameni and freshman Heysen who just joined the team. Militon performed well at this stage, and the players' diligent attitude has also been trusted by coach Alonso.

At the same time, Chu Ameni was previously transformed into a central defender by the previous coach Ancelotti. As long as Real Madrid has a shortage of personnel in the defender position next, they will bring Chu Améni to this position. Although it is a bit unacceptable for the players, it is sacrificed for the team's tactics. He will still be used as a central defender in this game. Of course, this may have hidden dangers, after all, players are more accustomed to being in the midfield. It is easy for him to play in a key position to be targeted by the opponent. I wonder if Osasuna will make some arrangements.

As for Heysen's words, the young Real Madrid defender immediately received attention after he arrived at the team. At present, he has a lot of opportunities to appear in the starting lineup this season. After all, Real Madrid's defense line is stretched at this stage, which brings a lot of opportunities to the players. If he can seize the opportunity to show himself well, it should only be a matter of time before he grows into a football front-line defender in the future. After talking about the defense line, let’s take a look at the midfield.

In order to further improve the offensive suppression in the first game, Alonso also sent all the midfielders who could play in one go. The two midfielders are Valverde and Guerre Valld are still the most reliable hexagonal fighters in the team at this stage. His appearance in the midfield will ensure Real Madrid's defense and midfield strength. For Gulaire, he has performed very well recently and has proved his tactical value. This season, he will appear more in the starting lineup.

Interestingly, it is to enhance the team's suppression power on the wing. Alonso put Arnold and Carreras at the front of the wing, hoping to use these two strong back-spin offensive capabilities to help the team open up the situation and provide the wing depth. And when defense is needed, they can quickly recycle and increase the number of players in the backcourt. In the past he was in Leverkusen, which was one of his regular tactical styles. It is possible to quickly form a difference in the front or backcourt in a short period of time, but this requires the two of them to run diligently on the field. Before the game, Alonso emphasized at the press conference that everyone in Real Madrid must run actively in the new season, otherwise they will be won as the starter. What is the meaning is very clear

In addition, Bracin Dias will reach the front midfielder position in this game, and he will temporarily reach the No. 9 position during the war. As for the two forwards in this 352 formation, there is no doubt that they can only belong to Vinicius and Mbappe. It is not surprising that Vinicius's position in the new season is still very stable and he won a starting position. Mbappe is regarded by Real Madrid as the number one striker in the team, and he won the Golden Boot last season. He is still the main player this season.
