In the second round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated the newly promoted Real Oviedo 3-0 away. Mbappe once again became the most shining superstar in the game. He scored twice and relaxed the fans of Bernabeu with his 3 goals in 2 games. This year's La Liga Golden Boot is still his French captain. But behind this victory of missing soldiers, the two Brazilian superstars gave coach Alonso a headache. It is no exaggeration to say that the turbulent tide in Real Madrid's locker room may cause a big "shake" at any time. This is not groundless. Looking at the performance of the two below, Real Madrid fans will be worried.

Rodrigo is worth 90 million euros, and Vinicius is 170 million euros. One is angrily throwing a towel because he was replaced in 62 minutes. The other is 1 pass and 1 shot from the bench, but he is "covered by Mbappe for provoking the referee and fans. Alonso has only taken office for two rounds, and the contradictions and challenges within the Galaxy battleship have begun to appear, and he doesn't take the young marshal seriously. In this game, Alonso made adjustments to the starting lineup. Rodrigo, who performed in moderation last season, finally had a long-lost starting opportunity in this game. For him, wanting to stay in the team and take up his post is a key node to prove himself. Rodrigo played very positively at the beginning of the game. From the third minute, he cut in from the left and volleyed the far corner. Then his powerful shot from a small angle created a threat again, but Yiyi was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. It can be said that he was one of the most active players on Real Madrid's offensive end, but failed to score. In the second half, in the 63rd minute, when Real Madrid led 1-0, Alonso chose to replace Rodrigo and Mastantono with Vinicius and Dias at the same time. For Rodrigo, who is eager to prove himself, this is a blow. You are not in a good state, so go ahead. The moment Rodrigo walked out of the situation, the moment Rodrigo walked away, his face was full of dissatisfaction. Sitting back on the bench, he took the towel and threw it on the ground angrily, muttering in a low voice. The three teammates around him chose to remain silent. Even Militon wanted to talk to him, but was interrupted by his actions and turned his head silently. According to post-match statistics, Rodrigo shot 4 times and two shots in the game, and only succeeded in 14 attempts and lost the ball 12 times. Just like this, I want to impress the young coach and act after being replaced. Isn’t this challenging Alonso’s authority?

Compared to Rodrigo's actions after being substituted, Vinicius' performance is even more of a double-edged sword. Before the game, Alonso made a bold decision to put the 170 million euro super core on the bench. The reporter revealed: "Vinicius had already noticed that he might be pushed to the substitute during training, and he was very angry." Even when he was warming up before the game, he interacted with Oviedo fans, sent out a blowing kiss and made small moves to provoke. It was obvious that he was not stable in his mood.

Vinitius did not come on as a substitute until the 62nd minute of the game. In just 30 minutes, he changed the direction of the game and became the brightest "boy" on the court except Mbappe. In the 83rd minute, he actively counterattacked in the frontcourt and sent a wonderful pass, assisting Mbappe to score twice, and the score expanded to 2-0. Excited Vinicius turned to the home team stands on the spot and made a provocative gesture. Just as the atmosphere on the sidelines was tense, Mbappe rushed over and covered his mouth with his hands as soon as possible, signaling him to calm down. This scene was captured by the camera and instantly spread on the Internet. In the 93rd minute of stoppage time, Vinicius himself scored a goal and secured a 3-0 victory. He kissed the team badge, ran wildly to celebrate, and suspected to continue to shout and protest to the referee, which almost triggered another conflict. Vinicius's substitute handed in just half an hour and shot proved his worth. But his emotional problems are worrying again. Spanish media commented: "He can save the game and ignite the war. He can't control his emotions at all. This situation is not once or twice."

Alonso now faces two huge problems: the team has two super Brazilian thorns. If it is not solved properly, there will definitely be troubles in the long season. Rodrigo was dissatisfied with his playing time. Vinicius was resentful because of the substitute, and his "big mouth" was really too crazy, and unexpected situations could happen at any time. If these two future core members are "inspiring" at the same time, how will Alonso face it?
