This is the bombshell shaking Madrid. Day by day, the Spanish press uncovers new cracks in the Merengue locker room… and at the center of the storm, one man: Xabi Alonso.
Xabi Alonso may not have expected such a complicated start at Real Madrid. Arriving with the aura of a savior, the Basque is now reportedly losing control, respect, and goodwill from several key players. The locker room is creaking, tensions are rising… and some players are said to be fed up with his methods deemed too strict.
According to Defensa Central, five players feel literally betrayed by the former Bayer Leverkusen coach. Andriy Lunin, Gonzalo Garcia, Fran Garcia, Endrick, and Dani Ceballos: all expected a new hierarchy, more playing time, and a real chance to establish themselves. The result? The same wall, the same frustrations, and a season that is bogging down. They hoped for a coach who would shuffle the deck, but they find themselves with a manager even more uncompromising than Ancelotti.
The situation reportedly shifted after the “Vinicius affair.” Since that episode, Xabi Alonso is said to no longer have the same grip on a locker room that is beginning to close in on him. And a Spanish journalist drops a line that shakes all of La Liga: “If tomorrow the club had to choose between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso… Real would prefer the player.”
A clear message: the stars decide, and the coach pays the price.
Real Madrid has never hesitated to protect its jewels, even at the cost of sacrificing a coach. What if history were to repeat itself? The locker room has not yet exploded, but the signals are red. Xabi Alonso, presented as the architect of the new Madrid era, could very well be the first fuse to blow.
If the situation continues to deteriorate, it may be the players, more than the president, who write the end of his story in Madrid. The king is no longer untouchable… and the knives are starting to come out.
