The Real Madrid locker room is being divided.
England's The Athletic delivered the current atmosphere of the team through the Inside Real Madrid corner on the 2nd (Korea time).
Throughout this season, there has been talk that the relationship between Alonso and some Real players is deteriorating. Representative players include Vinicius Junior and Hodrigo. In fact, Vinicius is understood to have conveyed his intention to the Real leadership to stop negotiating the renewal of his contract due to his relationship with Alonso.
In fact, the Real players were being divided into pro-Alon sofas and anti-Alon sofas. The Athletic reported in late October that while leading the Real League, Alonso's personal approach and some football philosophy were not well received by the majority of first-team players. Currently, while there are still players who have not been persuaded by Alonso's method, there are also players who claim that the manager is not responsible. One of the latter groups explained 'This is not a coach's problem, it's too obvious'
Fortunately, however, it has not yet turned into an emotional battle between players over the issue of Alonso. The Athletic noted that opinions are divided to some extent within the dressing room, but not yet enough to affect the relationship between the players.
Where there are many superstars, there are cases where coaches and players do not fit in. It was an unusual case for coach Carlo Ancelotti, who led Real, a legion of superstars, and had no problems with the players. When Alonso took office, his relationship with the players did not matter when his performance continued to be good, but as both Real's performance and results have fallen recently, the problem of taking control of the team is rising to the surface.
The situation seems even more serious as there are predictions within Real that the current problem is unlikely to be solved easily. The Athletic admits there are difficulties in achieving a turnaround in the atmosphere, club and coaching staff sources say. A source said 'Things look very difficult because we're playing very badly' Another source described the results and performance against Girona as 'disaster'Even the inside atmosphere is gloomy, he said.
There are also stories from a completely different perspective. There was even a claim that Vinicius, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham could not be played together. A Real locker room source interviewed by The Athletic said "The problem is not Alonso. Mbappe, Vinicius, and Bellingham are not compatible with each other. You can't make a balanced team with these three," he said, pointing out the problem of superstars being too aggressive.
