They don’t know ball
Alonso has to respect Vini and what Vini means to Real Madrid. Coaches are replaceable. Vini is not replaceable. He is the face of Real Madrid. Alonso better get his $hit right or we will come hard on him. DO NOT DISRESPECT VINI.
A minsu is ntg but B plus
Thn why A minsu ????😂😂😂
It's too early and unfair to grade Xabi Alonso at this stage. The man is doing great, this discussion is nonsense.
B+ is good but A+ is coming.
0:34 – Bro can't be serious, not a single person in Europe cares about the Club World Cup.
These guys know absolutely nothing about Real Madrid, but again what did you expect? They are American after all. I’m just happy they haven’t called it soccer lol .
the white guy has a personal vendettas with alonso fr because what?!!! such double standards
These people don’t know anything abt Madrid or Spanish football. Get better pundits.
This guy with the kinda Italian accent has very selective memory. He wants the PSG defeat to be a dent so bad despite the defenders having a shocker in the first 10mins. And PSG being the best team in the world at that time.
Then he wants to judge Alonso on the highest of standards? What Madrid manager had a 16w 1d 2l record to start? And the losses are to PSG and Atleti away! How many times did World Class Carlo lose to Atleti and Barca, yet that didn’t matter because it’s just an isolated result.
Alonso is doing incredible right now. He never had a preseason to implement his ideas and is practically building this plane in the air
Madrid wins treble
These guys: B+
Idk what more u guys want from them. They had 1 loss. U want picture perfect n can't even fathom being defeated type of team? lol
Who's doing that?
What a waste of time
What a joke this content, blah blah blah blah! No game knowledge at all, just speculating
They only focus on judging his mistakes but not his achievements with the team (without pre-season). No wonder they can't be on the same table with Kate, Henry, Jamie, and Micah. 😂
He's an average Coach
how many brain cells does the guy in white have
Xabi waking into dressing room that is full of ego of sharks this person got really bad memory he forgot along side whom Xabi played
in whole dressing room there is no one who has seen bigger EGO than Xabi and carvajal
These guys have zero idea what they're talking about. How are you including the club world Cup game and the loss against PSG???
These guys look sad while giving such stupid comment makes them look like they’re following a script.
The PSG game doesn’t really count under Xabi — that team hadn’t been managed by him long enough to reflect his style or identity. That was still the same group that got beaten by Barça four times, regardless of injuries. This Xabi team hasn’t. The Atlético loss isn’t excusable, sure, but it’s just one big game out of a few — like El Clásico, juve and 12 out of 13 wins.
Before El Clasico he was C+ … but vs Barcelona the starters were on point, and the adjustments through the game were almost perfect
Have these guys played football?
I don’t know who this guy is but I honestly think he doesn’t like Xabi. I’m referring to the guy sitting next to the anchor! The fact that he brought up Guardiola sealed my assumption. Why go back to Club World Cup when Xabi had barely had any training session with the team?
You can tell the spanish guys a real madrid hater..
Taking Vini off didn't "make it all come apart" relax cabron
These commenters don't know anything about Real Madrid. Especially the first guy
Taking off vini was important as he was not defending.
That guy in white sweater is definitely Barca fan. He is just talking bs. Its is irritating to watch him speak😂😂😂
They are not even pundits. They are barca clowns of puppets. They are all jealous and hurting inside that RM is back. 🥱🥱🤣🤣
Listen to the sheep trying to take control of the rhetoric yet again to build up Madrid hype. ALLEZ PARIS
Xabi has done great work so far, especially when you consider how horrific this team was to watch last season. In terms of man-management, he has handled the Vini situation exceptionally well so far, especially in public, appearing very much like a man in charge. The emotional spikes we're seeing within the squad do not mean he is losing the dressing room; rather, they signify that he is finally dealing with issues that were swept under the carpet by Carlo.
3:47 Is this guy seriously a pundit? He took off Vini and it all came apart?!! Our right flank was literally struggling. It was that period when Yamal finally was getting into the game. He started getting the better of Carreras because Vini stopped contributing defensively. He wasn't pressing any more. Yes Vini was becoming more lethal offensively but he wasn't pressing.
When you are 2-1 up late in a 2nd half and your opponent's best player in Yamal starts getting chances wouldn't you want a RWinger who presses ? And what came apart anyways??? Bruhhh
Nico judgment is biased and so disappointing… he is not making sense in his argument just because of 2 lost in 18 games?
Xabi has performed incredibly.
1. Zero pre-season
2. Key players injuried – Bellingham, Carvajal, Rudiger, etc
3. Player egos needed to be managed
4. Formation and strategy needed to be addressed
He has been amazing
