On October 29, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home in the El Clasico, ending their losing streak against Barcelona since last season. According to TA reports, this is of great significance to Real Madrid coach Alonso and his coaching staff. It not only relieves the pressure from the top, but also represents a major victory in his relationship with the players.

Tensions between Alonso and some players at Real Madrid have been growing in recent weeks - several first-team players are dissatisfied with his coaching methods and a series of major reforms he has implemented since taking office in the summer, and the reasons behind it go beyond the conflict that broke out after Vinicius was substituted in El Clasico.

When Alonso took over as Real Madrid coach, he found that some habits had been developed in the locker room that he believed were detrimental to the team, and these habits were formed after Ancelotti coached. Sources close to the coaching staff say "a lot of bad habits" have become ingrained.

The first message he conveyed to the Real Madrid players was: Under his command, when the opponent has the ball, everyone must run and fight harder, otherwise no one can guarantee that they can play.
