Kylian Mbappe It's the first certainty and the new locomotive real madrid of Xabi Alonso. Received on “Santiago Bernabeu” by Blancos fans as Ronaldothe Portuguese, and watched with some circumspection, even with his nose and shrugged after his first gray evolutions, the paid striker is royal by Florentino Perez who fuses like a F1 monopost and pulls the team after him. Comparisons with Cristiano are beginning to be put more and more often on the wallpaper for the best European scorer in 2025.
From Cristiano, the historical goalscorer of Madrid, no other star brought to the capital of Spain by the most gallon team in the world has not achieved such a fast and determining impact on Los Blancos! Not only the statistics sing for Mbappe, but also the attitude changed towards last year and the subordination towards the interest of the team, for which there is not only number 10, taken over this summer, but also a new, orphaned after Benzema's departure.
Mbappe, the Blanco engine, is the goalscorer of Europe and in 2025!
The holder of the gold boot even transforms into the most precious metal almost every occasion. Not by chance 12 of the last 15 goals of Madrid bears his tough. Mbappe is not just a lethal road opening to the gates nets, it also has the key to modify the first marking table.
13 times since he discharged the French, the French matches have started to start at 1-0, whether on the edge was Ancelotti or now Xabi Alonso. Mbappe begins to be hunted by records, like CR7! What would Madrid showed without the 47 goals signed from PSG's separation?
Although the weak results of the team last season excluded it from the fight for the Golden Ball, intended to seem to the Ousmane Dembele, Decar Blanco is the Killer to Xabi Alonso. The absolute leader of the sniper in 2025, with 33 goals in 37 matches, but also from his move to Santiago Bernabeu (a total of 47). Over any other “bomber”, Kane, Lewandowski, Guirassy, to quote a few names from the list of Top-Class scorers.
The virus taken just before the club World Cup made it to lose 6 kilograms and the chance to save the poor season in Madrid trophies. But it may be despised by the pressure made by the financial effort made by the club and at and released by all the doubts thrown on it, sometimes exaggerated and unfair. Since summer preparations everyone has noticed a change in Kylian.

Kylian was convinced by Xabi Alonso that he must defend himself
What Ancelotti was avoiding to do came to tell him Xabi Alonso. It is not that the Spaniard took the military down from the bridge, but probably for the first time in Mbappe's career, finally a coach asked for him, not to pray! Beyond being the undisputed star of Blanca, Kylian understood that the bottom work is not a shame for any footballer. That, in a team always with galactic claims, all, regardless of gallons and talent, must participate in both phases.
Otherwise it may happen that in the final part of the story of Blaugrana with Messi, Suarez and Neymar (until the Brazilian started the evacuation on Camp Nou), when Barcelona played in 9 or 8 when the ball was lost. Since Don Carlo's successor has turned the sheet and is in the French, training and during the matches, we see an upgrade of the new KM10. Which is likely to reflect its hard number from the shirt and in the total of the kilometers covered in the match, not necessarily in running after gaps or assists.
Whoever followed the evolution with Oviedo last night could notice a phase in which, after losing possession, Mbappe sprinted a half land to the right flank to help him and to cover the flank and recover the ball.
This is the big plus brought by Xabi Alonsothe way in which his students will understand and apply the order to make Presing and approach the aggressiveness of Barcelona to return to possession above, in the adverse land. If you exempt on defenders or lock (s) of exposure to high -risk counterattacks to the team liabilities, as, most clearly and painfully, it was seen in the executions of El Clasico.

Xabi Alonso showed to Vinicius Jr. that is not the golden balloon
And something was noted on “Carlos Tartiere”. That the passage of Vinicius Jr. on the bench was mandatory and for a long time. That in the field the connection with Mbappe was as the signal of how many G you want on a stadium with 90,000 fans. Someone had to come from German football to teach a disciplinary lesson in a locker room with too many pride, even ifose. Xabi Alonso to dispossessed the Brazilian by the unmerited privilege of many months to appear ex officio in the first 11!
I saw him laughing on the edge on the frustrated defeat of Rodri last with one, but it was not his laughter at all. Hid a grin, of the greed of being rewarded with the same money paid to Mbappe, because he to exchange fierce individualism, reproaches made to colleagues, quarrels with referees and advers. Nor that he did not escape in Oviedo. Lucky that Kylian clogged his mouth on his own, otherwise Madrid played in ten (even numerically, not just as a style figure).
Rodrygo was worth a chance to try to show if he was in any time to be driven into the Premier League. In order for Vini to continue to suffer from the anger of persecution and to think about the golden ball, which not only his haters turned into a beach. If Real Madrid wants to become “number One” in Spain and/or Europe, the star is needed. Not even Mbappe! Killi (a) n 'me softly should be the new motto.

Huijsen is the new “galactic” transfer of Florentino Perez!
And something else, in the end. All to winnings. You cannot help but see that Los Blancos tied two games without a goal and with few occasions offered to the opponents (Osasuna na sent quadrated). A rarity in the second era Ancelotti. It is not by chance, because now Courtois is called to produce miracles (and at Oviedo) less often. Why? Because (and I think it's the merit of Xabi again), Finally, Florentino of Axioma was convinced that the attack wins the matches, and the defense brings the trophies.
The transfer – it is true on a lot of money – Huijsen is a huge plus. The 1.96 Longilin blonde born in Amsterdam, whom the Spaniards quickly took with the arc at the national team, is a mix between Sergio Ramos and Toni Kroos. Madrid has not seen much before, and not only, a central defender with such qualities, completely!
Ambidextr, with (and enough) passes of amazing precision and defensive outputs, consistent participation in construction and incredible maturity at 20 years, beyond its safe game and detecting in its own phase.
As Antonio Conte said when he came to Naples for the Scudetto winning project, The team's construction starts from the foundation. And Hausen (this is how the Dutch pronounced, a house) has unexpected support in the versatile Tchouameni, another surplus, just as Trent will be difficult to take Captain Carvajal if Madrid does not implement the Leverkusen system. Xabi Alonso's project is in diapers, but the future sounds different than in Ancelotti's sad end.
