Tension around Xabi Alonso is mounting. The players ready to stage a revolt against the head coach have been revealed
The atmosphere around Real Madrid's head coach Xabi Alonso is becoming increasingly tense. Discontent with the coach is growing, accompanied by frustration over certain players. The turning point came with dropped points in matches against Rayo Vallecano and Elche.
Details: According to Cope, the club is reportedly split, with some players prepared to stage a revolt against the Spanish coach. Among those said to be unsupportive of Alonso are Vinicius, Valverde, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, and Mendy. Bellingham is also mentioned, with reports suggesting he is increasingly leaning towards joining the opposition. On the other side, the coach still enjoys the loyalty of Courtois, Mbappe, and Güler.
Currently, Real Madrid tops La Liga, holding a one-point lead over Barcelona, despite dropping points in the previous round with a 2-2 draw against Elche.
Real Madrid's next match is scheduled for tomorrow, November 26, against Olympiacos in the Champions League. Kickoff is set for 21:00 Central European Time.
Alonso took over as Real Madrid manager in June of this year and has since overseen 23 matches, recording 17 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses.
Reminder: Kylian Mbappe insulted the referee three times during the match against Elche and could face disciplinary action.
