After a Carlo Ancelotti era marked by ups and downs, Real Madrid entrusted the keys to the pennant team this summer to Xabi Alonso. A young coach but who has already started to prove himself in Germany in Bayer Leverkusen. If some thought that the Madrid costume would be a little too big for the former midfielder, he proves, for the moment, that he is tailor -made for him. After some doubts during the Club World Cup, where he discovered his group, Xabi Alonso began to put his paw. The Spaniard wants all of his players, including his stars, making efforts defensively.
He also makes competition play and does not give a gift. Vinicius Junior can testify. Xabi Alonso also participated in the Mercato de la Casa Blanca. He welcomed the recruits he wanted, namely Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras or Trent Alexander-Arnold. On the other hand, he did not have the additional midfielder he wanted, nor a central defender. It will be for January or for next summer. The Iberian coach also closed the door from Gonzalo Garcia, who seduced him during the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid still wants to lend endrick
Which was not necessarily good news for Endrick (19). Injured in the hamstrings of the right leg, the Brazilian had an additional competitor in attack to play the dining role of Kylian Mbappé. The residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium hoped that the international Auriverde left for a loan in Spain during the summer in order to continue his progress and chain matches. But he refused, he who wants to win in Madrid. He therefore finally stayed in the Spanish capital, where he recently returned to the group.
On the bench against Espanyol Barcelona and against Levante, he has not yet been used by his new coach. A coach who does not seem to count on him for the moment. This Thursday, the Cadena Cope Ensures that the coach and management always want Endrick to be loaned. On Monday, Juni Calafat, the Real Madrid talent unearthed, met the player's agent in Valdebebas to discuss his future and let him know that the club wants to lend it without option to buy next January. As always, their goal is that he plays. But for the moment, the position of the Endrick clan remains unchanged. The player wants to stay and win. It remains to be seen whether its position will evolve in the coming weeks since Xabi Alonso counts on KM10 and Gonzalo Garcia in front.
