What type of coach does Real Madrid need? Loose management or Alonso s iron-fisted management?

Someone asked me, what kind of personality does Real Madrid need in a coach? Loose management or rule the army with an iron fist?

I can only say that in fact, both are fine. The problem is that there cannot be double standards.

Alonso's record in coaching Real Madrid in the past few months is not bad. However, Real Madrid fans still question him because Alonso has not handled the relationship in the locker room well.

If he really managed the army with an iron fist, with Alonso's reputation and Real Madrid's current record, he would have already controlled the locker room.

But Alonso can't do it, which shows that Alonso's so-called "ruling the army with an iron fist" is actually flawed.

This article is about 1,200 words, and it takes 3 minutes to read. If you think it is too long, just read it. I summarize it as follows:

1. Made a big mistake? In fact, for a super giant like Real Madrid, the coach's locker room management level is more important than the technical and tactical level!

2, there is no smoke without fire! If Alonso wants to strengthen his position as the final say in Real Madrid, will he have to do all kinds of things?

3. Conclusion: Is Alonso an iron commander who manages the army with an iron fist or a master of palace fighting with rich inner drama?

Made a big mistake? In fact, for a super giant like Real Madrid, the coach's locker room management level is more important than the technical and tactical level!

Players who can gain a foothold in Real Madrid must have good technical and tactical skills. It depends on how the coach balances the tactical authority and playing time of the superstars.

Ancelotti takes a loose line and does not make any drastic innovations. Real Madrid superstars have no objections to him. The two dismissals were not due to conflicts between the generals.

As for Alonso, if you really want loose management, just follow Ancelotti's approach.

Ancelotti's Real Madrid has achieved 2 Champions Leagues and 2 La Liga performances in 3 years. The team is not short of young people. Coupled with the arrival of Mbappe and others, it is even more powerful. If Alonso really wants to follow the rules, it is not difficult to achieve results.

But Alonso was determined. He wanted to prove that he was different from others, so he began to make various innovations.

There is no smoke without fire! If Alonso wants to strengthen his position as the final say in Real Madrid, will he have to do all kinds of things?

Alonso said that rotation is needed, and Real Madrid superstars must cooperate. He said that all Real Madrid superstars must increase their running and participate in defense. Whoever is not active in running will be benched!

What’s the result? Why is Mbappe running?

You want to say that Mbappe is the first player in immediate combat and must start. We can understand this, but you just said that everyone has to run and defend. Mbappe still does not run or participate in defense as before, and Alonso did not say anything. This makes people feel that there is a double standard.

Furthermore, Alonso said that Real Madrid wants to rotate. OK, you said that players such as Mbappe, Valverde, Huizen and Courtois are core figures and have not been rotated. Let us also believe in Alonso's arrangement.

There is some controversy about Guler's regular playing, but his statistics are very good and he can cooperate with Mbappe, so we don't have to say anything.

The funniest thing is what does "Messi's successor" Mastantuono have? How could you still start every game before getting injured?

Conclusion: Is Alonso an iron commander who manages the army with an iron fist or a master of palace fighting with rich inner drama?

Alonso said he wanted to rotate, but he kept the weak Mastantono on the field. Rodrigo, Dias, Enderrick, Gonzalo and other players who have contributed to Real Madrid did not even get a few opportunities to prove themselves. Players and fans must feel that Alonso is a double standard.

And Alonso didn't think about handling the relationship in the locker room. When Vinicius's condition and physical fitness were both good, it was more difficult than ever to play the entire game. No wonder he fell out with Alonso.

Valverde, the honest team captain, can also be suppressed by Alonso due to position issues.

Of course, if you say this is due to Vinicius’s character, I don’t want to refute it.

What I mean is that Alonso has serious double standards in both tactical arrangements and personnel selection. Real Madrid superstars must be dissatisfied. This has nothing to do with loose management or iron-fisted military management.

Rather than saying that Alonso is an iron commander who manages the army with an iron fist, it is better to say that he is really just a master of palace fighting.

Do you think Alonso will be dismissed?
