Real Madrid’s management reaffirmed their confidence in coach Xabi Alonso after the 1-1 draw with Girona in La Liga on Sunday.
Florentino Perez and his entourage still believe Alonso is the right man for the job, yet there is growing concern over Real Madrid’s recent poor results.
The Royal Club has drawn its last three La Liga matches, costing them the top spot in the league, which Barcelona now leads by one point.
According to The Athletic, Wednesday’s match against Athletic Bilbao will be crucial, and Real Madrid officials have demanded that Alonso show a positive response to the team’s recent struggles.
It’s not just about achieving a positive result, but about the team displaying a performance worthy of the quality at their disposal.
Real Madrid’s management was clear that the performance against Bilbao and in the following few matches would be crucial to Alonso’s fate and his future at the Santiago Bernabéu. If things don’t improve, the end result could be an early dismissal of the coach.
At the same time, the management is aware that the crisis isn’t just with Alonso, but also with the players.
According to a source close to the Real Madrid dressing room, the current problems extend beyond the coach to the trio of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Bellingham. They are not in sync, and it’s impossible to achieve balance by having them all on the pitch together.
