The good days for Real Madrid players are over! Alonso abolishes superstar privileges and is punished if he is one minute late

9:38am, 2 September 2025【Football】

Xavi Alonso, the former midfielder, is now launching a management revolution in the Bernabeu in a new and unquestionable manner. What he brought was not only the tactical board for the Bundesliga champion, but also a rigorous and almost ruthless way of working.

The successful superstars in Real Madrid locker room soon discovered that the good days are over. The era when players once had the final say was completely over.

Devil Training

Allonso's new rules: All players must arrive at the training ground in advance.

This extra time is not for coffee and chatting, but for medical and physical fitness assessments one by one to ensure that everyone steps onto the lawn at 100%.

training intensity has also been fully upgraded. Longer time, greater consumption, more detailed requirements... the devil training mode that made Leverkusen players scared was moved to Madrid intact. The drone hovering in the sky will record everyone's running and tactical execution, and there is no way to hide any slackness.

First, Real Madrid TV will announce its starting lineup early two hours before the game, which has almost become a tradition.

But Alonso stopped it all. Now, the starting lineup will be tightly covered until 75 minutes before it is announced. This seemingly minor change is a clear signal: he wants to keep his tactics confidential and unexpected surprises on the field to the extreme. The opponent wanted to study his cards in advance, but there was no goal.

No one is not a non-selling product

In Alonso's dictionary, there is no absolute main force.

He elevated the rotation to an unprecedented strategic height. Whether it is the biggest superstar in the team or the newly emerging youth training young player, they must always maintain a competitive state. He hopes that in this way, the core players can not only breathe, but also inspire the fighting spirit of young people, and keep the entire team hungry during the long season.

Physical discipline, tactical confidentiality, and iron-knit rotation - Alonso's three axes are completely reshaping the club culture of Real Madrid.

Some people say that this is a necessary means to create the next golden age. Some people are also worried about whether such high-pressure management will conflict with the superstars of the Bernabeu.

But anyway, Alonso has shown his determination. We must use the most German way to lead Real Madrid back to the top of Europe. This iron-blooded storm that swept across the Bernabeu has just begun.
