The dramatic departure of Xabi Alonso from the Real Madrid bench has revealed a can of worms about the lack of authority that the Basque coach could exert over figures like Vinícius or Federico Valverde. Following his dismissal, the names of players pointed out by the coach as responsible for the internal fracture have come to light, including Jude Bellingham in a list of those singled out for their lack of commitment.

Real Madrid is in turmoil after the revelation that the relationship between the coaching staff and the senior players in the squad was non-existent, leading to a complete lack of professional respect. Reports from Valdebebas describe a chaotic scenario where the Basque strategist's instructions were systematically ignored by the team leaders during daily training sessions.

The Players Targeted by Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid

The main point of conflict revolved around Vinícius Júnior, whose relationship with the coach was tense from day one due to tactical demands and changes during games. The Brazilian did not accept a secondary role or substitutions, feeling that his status as a world star granted him immunity against the tactical adjustments that Alonso tried to implement unsuccessfully.

On the other hand, the situation with Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde was different in form but equally problematic in essence due to consistent positional changes in the starting lineup. Although Valverde has always shown professionalism, the discomfort of being recurrently used as a right-back instead of in his natural midfield role ended up wearing down the bond.

Regarding Jude Bellingham, the coach lamented the attitude of the Englishman, who seemed more influenced by pressures from his family environment than by the collective needs of a team in crisis. Real Madrid witnessed the British player's performance plummet while his behavior in training became increasingly apathetic, challenging the authority of a coach demanding maximum effort.

The Internal Chaos and Lack of Discipline

Sources close to the club affirm that respect for Alonso's stature evaporated rapidly, turning morning practices into a parade of players arriving at the last possible minute. It became common to see important players wandering the field without any intensity, forcing the coaching staff to constantly plead for the scheduled gym exercises and drills to be completed. Real Madrid had to deal with a squad that ended sessions and left the facilities immediately, showing no interest in tactical rehearsals or the necessary video analysis.

This collective disobedience was the real trigger for a dismissal that was expedited by the image of powerlessness displayed in the Supercopa, where the team simply stopped running for their coach. Xabi Alonso exits pointing out a lack of work culture that, in his view, has infected the pillars of the project, hindering any coherent footballing evolution towards competitive success.

The End of Authority in the White Bench

The board, aware of these frictions, chose to protect the value of their sports assets rather than endorse a coach who had lost influence over the human group. For Real Madrid, the utmost priority now is to regain internal discipline and prevent tactical disarray from ruining a season that still holds the promise of significant titles. Alonso's legacy in this brief period is marked by the bitterness of not being able to tame a squad that, from the start, decided not to follow his instructions or respect his authority.

It is evident that a change in command was the only way to halt a fire threatening to engulf the institutional stability of the most demanding entity in world football. The reconstruction of Real Madrid begins with healing these internal wounds and finding a leader capable of imposing their law on players who felt above the institution.
