With four crushing losses in one year, Alonso got off the altar, did Real Madrid choose the wrong person?

defeated Almaty away, and Real Madrid completed the most difficult expedition of the year. It has only been three days since the Madrid derby, and Real Madrid players seem to have forgotten the defeat. Alonso's team is still very confident when facing a weak team.

7 wins in the first 7 consecutive wins and 4 major defeats

Before losing to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid won seven consecutive victories in La Liga and the Champions League. This time, the team's stability and error correction ability are still good. Unfortunately, the Madrid derby's defeat was too tragic, and Alonso and his disciples' efforts over the past three months seemed to have been wasted. In the earlier Club World Cup, Real Madrid was also hit hard after winning streaks.

If we continue to trace upwards, we will be surprised to find that Alonso has suffered four crushing defeats in the past year. In addition to leading Real Madrid to Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, his Leverkusen also lost to Atlanta (Europa League final) and Bayern Munich (Europa League 1/8 final).

The immature young coach and the deformed lineup

Compared with coaches such as Gasperini, Enrique and Simeone, Alonso's on-the-spot command is obviously much worse. Real Madrid cannot find a way to turn the tables in the face-wind, and the more they lose, the more they lose. Alonso is still an immature young marshal, and his team cannot give him too much room for reconciliation. In the past summer window, Real Madrid spent a lot of money to upgrade the defense, but the shortcomings in the midfield and center positions were still not resolved. The internal strife between forward players further weakened the team's strength, and the work faced by the young coach is not easy.
