Alonso meets a strong enemy in his debut: Real Madrid s tactical innovation and Riyadh Crescent s offensive and defensive game

The "stress test" of the new coach taking office focuses on Alonso's first official game to coach Real Madrid. Facing the Riyadh Crescent with strong offensive firepower (average of 3.2 goals in the last 5 games), his on-the-spot adjustment ability will directly determine the direction of the game. Real Madrid's recent stable defense (conceded 11 goals in 10 games) may continue the system during Ancelotti's period, but the new coach may show his personal style through targeted deployment of wing defense (such as restricting Malcolm's breakthrough).

Tactical game between spear and shield

Analysis of Riyadh Crescent's highlight performance on the offensive end and the potential weaknesses of Real Madrid's defensive end:

Crescent's wide impact force: Combined with the data of Malcolm, Aldo Sarri and other players, it shows the test of its quick counterattack on Real Madrid's full-back;

Real Madrid midfield control: In the absence of Camavenga, Alonso may use the dual-core configuration of Valverde + Bellingham to resolve the opponent's offense through ball control.

Balance between superstar tactics and teamwork

Explore how Alonso avoids excessive reliance on personal abilities in the context of the hot state of core players such as Mbappe (scoring 6 consecutive games) and Bellingham:

Differential freedom: Mbappe's inward cut from the left and Vinicius;

Defensive participation: The strength of the forward line to return to defense may become a point of observation for tactical discipline.

The three key points of the first appearance

Summary of the game's victory and loss:

Wing offensive and defensive efficiency: Can Real Madrid curb the crescent winger group;

Midfield control: Valverde's state after he recovers from injury will determine the quality of offense and defensive conversion;

Substitution timing: Can Alonso turn the situation around through adjustments (such as enabling Guerre) if he falls behind.

The "barometer" of short-term tactics emphasizes the role of this battle in defining Alonso's coaching style: if the new moon's offense is successfully restricted, it may continue the stable defensive strategy; if there are loopholes, it may accelerate its implementation of high-level pressing reform. At the same time, it points out the significance of the Club World Cup as a "testing ground" for subsequent La Liga preparations.
