Tchouaméni confesses the big difference between Xabi Alonso and Ancelotti: 'Above all...'

As soon as La Liga ended, Ancelotti packed his bags and left for the Brazilian national team. That left the bench open for Xabi Alonso to take his place already at the Club World Cup. With hardly any training sessions, he's playing his first tournament with the white team.

They've already played 3 matches and little by little, Real Madrid's growth is starting to show with the Basque. Some of his guidelines are starting to take hold to make the most of the squad it has. The players are also noticing this, judging by the statements they're making.

The latest was Tchouaméni, who, after defeating Salzburg 3-0, spoke to the media. There, he stated that  "I'm very happy about the win, but above all about the way we played." It seems this is  one of the main differences he's found with Ancelotti.

The approach Carletto used seems very different from Xabi Alonso's according to the players. The best part is that Tchouaméni inspires hope by saying that "we're definitely going to improve as well. We have to keep going like this, with the same attitude, commitment, and give everything because we want to win this title."

Trust in Xabi Alonso looking ahead to next season

Real Madrid has already made it to the round of 16 in the Club World Cup and will face Juventus. However, they know they're on the tough side of the bracket with Bayern or PSG ahead. Despite that, they trust they'll go far and even be fighting for the title.

The hope in the white team is set on next season and what we're seeing. With hardly any time to work with the team, Xabi has already changed its face. Different things can be seen and he's laying the foundations for a project that's built to succeed.

With a longer preseason and the arrival of the latest signings, the team will add more quality. That's why Tchouaméni's words about the changes compared to Ancelotti are well received. The change on the bench is being noticed and will leave its mark.
