Real Madrid coach is so tough! The 24-year-old superstar made 2 goals, replaced him in 66 minutes, and scored goals in the quarterfinals

In a tense match on June 27, Real Madrid faces Salzburg. This showdown is crucial for Real Madrid, and if they lose, they are likely to be eliminated. Fortunately, Real Madrid defeated their opponents with a strong performance of 3-0, successfully locked in the top spot in Group H, and advanced to the top 16 with their heads held high.

In this game, except for Asensio who was absent due to suspension, Real Madrid almost continued the starting lineup against Pachuca. It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid once again showed strong strength, relying on goals from Winnieus, Valverde and Garcia to win with a huge gap of 3-0.

There is no doubt that Winnieus is the best player in this game. The 24-year-old Brazilian genius failed to score in the first two games, but Mbappe happened to be in recovery period, and head coach Alonso chose to continue to trust Winnieus. In this game, Winniehus lived up to the expectations of the coach and performed well. When the 40th minute of the game was in progress, Real Madrid launched a smooth counterattack. Bellingham accurately sent out a straight pass and found forward Winnieus. After receiving the ball, Winnieus showed his amazing personal skills. He quickly changed direction and passed the defensive player in the frontcourt, and then scored the ball into the net with a precise shot, giving Real Madrid a 1-0 lead early.

A few minutes later, Winniehus once again performed a wonderful performance, this time he contributed a very creative assist. In the penalty area, Winnieus did not choose to attack by himself, but instead sent the ball to Valverde's feet with his clever heels, who easily scored and changed the score to 2-0. After the game, Winniehus said that this was one of the best assists in his career, which shows how satisfied he is with his performance.

However, despite Winnieus's one shot and one pass in the game, Alonso decided to replace him in the 66th minute of the second half. Winniehus showed a hint of loss on his face when he was replaced, but he still accepted the coach's decision wisely. On the sidelines, he showed no dissatisfaction with Alonso's choice.

It is worth noting that this is the third consecutive game of Winnieus being replaced early. In previous matches against Riyadh Crescent and Pachuca, Vinicius failed to score, so it was reasonable for him to be substituted. However, this time, he achieved such an excellent performance but left the game early, which may make him feel dissatisfied in his past. However, now Winnieus understands that he needs to remain humble in the face of Alonso, the new coach.

Facts have proved that Alonso's coaching ability is unquestionable. Less than a month since he took office as Real Madrid, his absolute authority has been formed within the team. In the past few seasons, as Winnieus' performance has steadily improved, he has inevitably become a little complacent, and even has some troubles on and off the court. He was criticized by Modric for his poor defense and had an argument with him. At this time, Alonso chose to be tough in the military. He would not have special treatment to any player. As long as he thought it was suitable for substitutions, he would make a decisive decision. It is worth mentioning that Bellingham was also replaced in the group stage, and Alonso treated these two core players equally.

Of course, Alonso's substitution decision was not entirely dissatisfied with Winnieus' performance. With the victory or defeat of the game determined, perhaps the Real Madrid coach is already preparing for the upcoming round of 16. Given that Mbappe is still recovering, if Real Madrid hopes to defeat Juventus, Winnieus' goal will be particularly critical. Regardless of Alonso's motivation for substitution, at least for now, Real Madrid's affairs are developing in a positive direction. Compared with his good-looking coach An, Real Madrid may need a tough coach like Alonso more, otherwise, the team's locker room will sooner or later have problems.
