Real Madrid coach is in a tough fist! 170 million European superstar scored 0 goals and was substituted + Rodrigo abandoned, showing no mercy

On August 20, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 1-0 at home, achieving a good start to the new season. However, the progress of the game made coach Alonso not very satisfied, because Real Madrid's offense was really bad in this game.

Mbappe, Vinihus and Diaz started together in this game. Although Gonzalo Garcia shines in the Club World Cup, Alonso did not let him start in La Liga. The 21-year-old Spanish genius sat on the bench in this game waiting for an opportunity. After the start of the game, Real Madrid had the advantage in the game, but failed to score a goal. It was not until the 50th minute that Mbappe broke through and broke into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground, winning a penalty for the team. He then took the penalty and scored by himself, and Real Madrid had a difficult lead 1-0.

Unfortunately, after breaking the deadlock, Real Madrid's offense fell into silence again. Seeing that the team's offense only hit thunder and not rain, Alonso had to adjust his forward line. In the 78th minute, Winnieus, whose latest value reached 170 million euros, was replaced by Gonzalo Garcia.

In this game, Winniehus failed to score. In fact, since the Club World Cup group stage, Vinicius has been in a downturn, and Alonso has been hitting a lot because of this, but unfortunately the Brazilian superstar still failed to recover. Since Mbappe was arranged to play as center, Winnieus got the position he wanted most, but he still had no performance. In the 25th minute of the first half, Winnieus took the ball on the left, broke through to the bottom line and sent a cross. As a result, Mbappe's shot failed to create a threat. This attack was also one of the few highlights of Winnieus's game.

Due to poor performance, Vinicius was replaced early, and Rodrigo was even worse than him. This Brazilian star was abandoned directly in this game. In the game, Alonso only used 4 substitutions. Even though the team's offensive performance was not good and he was unable to expand his advantage for a long time, Alonso did not give Rodrigo a chance. Since Alonso took office, he has not liked to use Rodrigo. Before in the Club World Cup, Rodrigo often sat on the bench. Now, he has not even had a minute to go in the first round of La Liga.

‌I have to say that Alonso is indeed an iron-fisted army, and he does not show mercy to Vinicius or Rodrigo. In fact, if Mbappe had not scored a penalty in this game, and Real Madrid's midfield was not creative and needed Mbappe's speed to create a threat in the frontcourt, Alonso probably wouldn't have let him play the whole game.

Since taking over as Real Madrid coach, Alonso has been very strong. He has not been accommodating against the superstars in Real Madrid like An Shuai before. Anyone who performs poorly in the game will have to end up. Perhaps this is also the reason why Real Madrid hired Alonso to coach. They do need a strong coach to control the team. Of course, Alonso's strength is based on the team's outstanding performance. If he fails to lead the team to perform well in the new season, he may still be unable to suppress the many superstars of Real Madrid in the future!
