Face and cross in the debut of Xabi Alonso as coach of Real Madrid. The cross was in the first half, when the whites did not work at all. They were only fine in the play that ended in Gonzalo's goal, since the rest of the match was very flat. Many were those who agreed to Ancelotti.
In the second half it was another story. Xabi He worked as a coach and was interventionist, changing the drawing. Whites went to play with three centrals and, taking advantage of the tiredness of Al HilalThey took a step forward in search of victory.
We must also highlight the courage of Xabi and his commitment to the quarry. Without Mbappé, who suffered a feverish process that did not allow him or leave the room, he opted for Gonzalo and the Canterano responded with very quality minutes.
Gonzalo for History
The years will go and Gonzalo You can always say that he was the Real Madrid player who made the first in the era Xabi Alonso And the first to mark in the new Club World Cup FIFA. He did it at 34 minutes from the meeting that faced the Al Hilal With whites in Miami, after taking advantage of a great assistance from Rodrygo. The Madrid canterano, who fights to find his hole in the first Madrid template, did not make the most beautiful shot, but the most effective, since it ended inside the Bono goal. He finished in the best possible way a play that he began in his own field.
Gonzalo was the great novelty in the first alignment of Xabi Alonso as coach of Real Madrid. Mbappé, suffering from a feverish process, could not even sit on the bench, and the Donostiarra did not hesitate: he opted for the canterano. A different player and with a lot of goal that, if they give him opportunities, can find his place in the team. At the moment, in his first appearance, he has already demonstrated it.
Much more than a central
House It marked the difference in his debut as a Real Madrid player. The Spanish international was not only superb in defense, but also contributes much more. Take out the ball with solvency, he is able to put balls in long, breaks lines and active to his teammates. In short, on many occasions it seems that it is a central playing as a midfielder.
Asencio rude failure
If so many times he praises him for what he does well, this time it must be said that he was not well, losing a ball inside the area that he tried to resolve committing a penalty that Rúben He transformed to tie the contest. Xabi Alonso replaced him at the break, giving entrance to Arda Güler and changing the drawing, since the whites went on to play with three central defense, delaying the position of Tchouaméni.
