Xabi Alonso failed to control Real Madrid's egos in brief and bitter reign

man this is crazy Alonso thought he could come in here and change everything, but the club's egoes are like, super strong especially with players like Mbappé and Vinícius, they're like, stars for crying out loud! it's hard to control that kind of talent, you know? Alonso had some good ideas, like trying to get the team to work together, but ultimately it just didn't gel. and yeah, his departure is a bummer, because I think he was one of the few managers who actually tried to listen to his players and adapt to the team's culture.

so Alonso thought adapting to the Real Madrid culture would solve all problems but nope turns out he got roasted by his own players . He tried to do his thing but Vinícius just wouldn't follow orders lol. And Fede complaining about tactics? Sounds like a bunch of divas to me . It's clear Alonso underestimated the egos at that club . Can't say I'm surprised though, Real Madrid has always been a special case even when it comes to management . Guess we'll see who their next manager is and if they can actually get anything done .

Ugh, this latest managerial change at Real Madrid feels like Groundhog Day all over again . It's like they're stuck in some sort of never-ending cycle of drama and player discontent. Alonso tried to bring in a new vibe with his "collective approach" but it just didn't quite work out, I guess you could say the egos won out in the end .

I mean, what's crazy is that Alonso was basically surrounded by some of the most talented players in the world and still struggled to get them on the same page. It's like they're more interested in scoring individual goals than working towards a collective win . And don't even get me started on Vinícius' antics after being removed from the game... that was just a major red flag .

It just goes to show that at this level of football, you need way more than just X's and O's to be successful - you need some serious interpersonal skills . Maybe they should look for a manager who can balance out all those egos and personalities... but I'm sure that won't happen anytime soon .

omg can't believe real madrid changed managers AGAIN its like they need to rebuild the whole team lol alonso's vision was cool but i guess you can't force players to work together when they're all so used to being individual stars ️ maybe pep guardiola's way would've worked better? Alonso's gotta be super frustrated tho, i mean who wants to leave after just over a year

I'm totally bummed about Xabi Alonso's exit, #RIPXabiAlonso It's clear that adapting to the club's culture wasn't his strong suit, #RealMadridProbs He wanted to bring everyone together, but it seems like that just wasn't gonna happen Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior were still the stars of the show, #MbappeAndVinicius #PlayerFirst The thing is, being a manager at Real Madrid is way more complicated than just picking some fancy tactics You gotta navigate egos, personalities, and expectations all at once It's no wonder Alonso couldn't crack it,
