Real Madrid's new coach Alonso made his debut at the pre-club debut, talking about the 11 new Galaxy battleships, Mbappe's injury and future blueprint! Show tactical thinking and human touch. A new chapter of the Galaxy Battleship is about to set sail!

Before the upcoming debut of coach Real Madrid, Xavi Alonso held his first press conference since taking office at the Miami Stadium in the United States. The new coach will lead Real Madrid to the first game of the Club World Cup, and the opponent is Riyadh Crescent from Saudi Arabia. In response to the media's questions, Alonso admitted: "This is just the starting point of the journey, and many things need to be polished slowly." The most eye-catching one is naturally the construction of the forward quartet - "BMVR" composed of Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrigo.

Bellingham's new role is clear, Rodrigo sets off again! Alonso particularly emphasized Bellingham's multifaceted nature: "He covers a wide area, and he was originally a midfielder, but he had a strong sense of scoring. The key is to put him in the most appropriate position." This means that Bellingham may no longer assume the pure midfielder task in the new system, but instead flexibly change his role according to the opponent and the rhythm of the game. As for Rodrigo, Alonso revealed that he was in poor form at the end of last season, but in the offseason he chose to stay away from the national team to focus on self-recovery, and his condition has rebounded significantly. "He adjusted well, and I could see that he was eager to prove himself. We communicated deeply, and now is the time to put what was in training into practice."

Mbappe's comeback is doubtful, and Rudiger recovers quickly! Alonso gives a vague but positive signal about Mbappe's latest updates. "He is recovering and we will make the final decision tomorrow. He is already close, but we don't want to take any risks." In contrast, Rudiger's injury progress is even more gratifying. "He recovered very well and was expected to make his debut in the second game. The other wounded people will need time."

for the first time, he was infected by his passion! Speaking of Sius, Alonso said with a smile: "You can feel his energy when you meet for the first time. He is full of passion and emotions, and I like such players very much." This evaluation reveals his high recognition of Brazil's genius and also indicates that Vinicius will have more space for free in the new season.

Mastantuono made Alonso's eyes shine! New aid Frank Mastantuono also received recognition from the coach. "I was surprised by his maturity and ambition. We talked several times, and his sense of purpose was very clear, and all achievements were not accidental. He will join the team in August and will become an extremely important signing."

Modric is still the core of Real Madrid! Alonso's words are full of respect for veteran Modric. "We are friends, and now I am his coach. He has a great influence on young players. It is a blessing for us to continue to have him." In terms of young people, Alonso mentioned Guillail and Endrick by name. He emphasized: "Even Modric spent a lot of time to adapt back then. The adaptation process was natural, and their progress would be more obvious in the second year."

Finally, regarding the right-back candidate, Alonso also expressed satisfaction: "I am very lucky to have top players like Carvajal and Arnold. Arnold's position is more flexible, while Carvajal has a strong personality and fighting spirit. Arnold showed strong adaptability when he first arrived." In this debut, Alonso showed his calmness and insight, which also made fans look forward to Real Madrid in the new season. From the formation of "BMVR", to the growth of young people, to the return of the wounded, everything points to a new Galaxy battleship that is gradually awakening.
