Three defenders were created out of nothing, Alonso coached Real Madrid as the first achiever!

The quarter-finals of the Club World Cup are about to start, and Real Madrid will compete with Dortmund on the high-level cup stage for three consecutive years. Facing the familiar German team, the three-center-back formation advocated by Xavi Alonso will be tested by a strong enemy for the first time, and Chu Améni, who plays the backward central defender, has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Two tests, defense line structure

Since Real Madrid players generally lack experience in playing center back formation, Xavi Alonso did not rush to lay out his personal will after taking office. In the first two rounds of the Club World Cup group stage, Xavi Alonso used the 433 formation from the Ancelotti era. In the third round of the group stage, Xavi Alonso finally made his favorite 352 formation. When playing against Juventus in the 1/8 finals, Xavi Alonso continued to use the three-center-back architecture. He lives between Heisen and Rudiger when defending, and can come to the backcourt position to share Valverde's pressure when attacking. Chu'améni's position is very flexible, which feels like a No. 4 player in the traditional Tiki-Taka system. In the process of defeating Juventus, Chu Améni not only became the player with the most passes in Real Madrid, but also sent threatening balls forward twice, completing two wonderful shots.

The midfield combination performed in the new ceremony in a mediocre manner, and Chu Ameni found a new role.

barely passed the qualification when playing against the back, and achieved the value when playing against the central defender.

has outstanding head-on ability. Chu Amuni's main problem is that his foot speed is slow, his ball-holding ability is insufficient, and his horizontal coverage ability is completely unable to reach the level of a defensive midfielder. In the past two seasons, Chu Ameni has been fortunate to level up with Kroos and Modric, but has not made significant progress. The technical and tactical limitations of being a midfielder are very obvious. In the middle of last season, Ancelotti had to reuse Celeros to barely overcome the labor shortage in the midfield.

Before Conat arrives, Chuameni may participate in the rotation of the defense for a long time.

During Ancelotti's coaching, Chu Ameni served as a central defender many times. From the sweeper in the four-back formation to the central "brain" in the three-back structure, Chu Ameni's area needs to cover has become smaller, and he can concentrate on air defense, fill-up and passes, which is his advantage. Missed Jonathan Ta, Conat's contract will not expire until next summer, and Leverkusen is unwilling to sell Inkapier, Real Madrid cannot find a suitable central defender recruiter for the time being. Xavi Alonso activates Mr. 80 million in time to ensure the smooth progress of the three central defenders' test.
