Spanish media: Alonso has been preparing for the Club World Cup for less than a month, and there are still many injuries in the team

May 26th Xavi Alonso has officially become Real Madrid coach, and Relevo posted a message talking about the first challenge he faced in leading the team.

The first major challenge Alonso faced after taking office was how to prepare for the Club World Cup in less than a month. Real Madrid's first match against Riyadh New Moon on June 18. Although his arrival is full of expectations, the tense schedule puts extremely high demands on Alonso. For this reason, he personally contacted Ancelotti to find out the situation and expressed his concerns.

In addition to the intensive schedule, Real Madrid is also accompanied by a series of injuries. Take the defense line for example. Although Rudiger and Alaba can catch up with the Club World Cup, they have just recovered from the operation. Mendy and Kavajal will have to wait until next season to return, and Vallejo's contract expires and has left the team. However, Real Madrid has just signed Wysen. On the front line, Dias' old injury relapsed, Rodrigo has not returned to his game, and Enderick will also miss the Club World Cup due to injury. The good news is that Vinicius has returned and Mbappe is in good shape, but Alonso also needs to find a balance during the adaptation period.
