Alonso s tactical blueprint and signing plan in Real Madrid

Just yesterday, Xavi Alonso officially announced that he would leave Leverkusen after the end of this season. The 43-year-old young coach, with the 2023/24 season, led the team to break Bayern Munich's long-term monopoly and won the domestic double championship with an unbeaten record, succeeded Ancelotti and became the new generation of Real Madrid head coach.

According to Le Marca, based on his successful experience in Leverkusen, Alonso entered Real Madrid with his own clear tactical concept, namely the 343 or 3421 formation.

As the core of this tactical concept, the three-back system requires two key qualities: calmness and calmness in launching offenses in the backcourt and the ability to win one-on-one confrontation, and the double midfielders provide protection for the defense line.

Offensively, tactical construction aims to give creative players more room to play: Wilz is a prominent example at Leverkusen, while encouraging full-backs to move forward.

Real Madrid's forward choice will greatly affect how Alonso adjusts the system, but the starting point is based on his tactical blueprint.

reported that potential tactical changes in Alonso have begun to affect Real Madrid's signing program.

Arnold will join this summer, and he meets Alonso's ideal requirements for full-backs: speed, skill and tactics and unpredictability. Therefore, Real Madrid is also looking for similar players on the other side, so that the two wings can fly together.

In addition, the report also pointed out that Real Madrid will also introduce a central defender, most likely Dean Wyson, and a midfielder.

As Real Madrid prepares to embark on a new era, Alonso will bring a new and completely different tactical concept from the past. After all, the three-back system has been rarely used in the Ancelotti era.

Of course, despite preferring a system, Alonso will not copy it like Manchester United's Amorin, but will make some appropriate adjustments based on the players' current situation.
