The 2 new 'snipers' at Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso sets the hierarchy

With the Club World Cup about to begin, all of Real Madrid's attention is focused on this tournament. By making important signings in the weeks leading up to the competition, Real Madrid has strengthened its squad. The most significant has been Xabi's, who, despite the dispute of this tournament, has made a change for next season.

With new players joining the squad, Xabi has established the hierarchy of those responsible for taking free kicks. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who arrived after several years at Liverpool, will be in charge of free kicks from the right side. As for the left side, Xabi has chosen Franco Mastantuono to take those free kicks.

This is a notable change that, of course, shows the extreme trust Xabi has in the two new Real Madrid players. Being aware of their great ball-striking ability, Xabi considers both the best for taking such important set pieces as free kicks.

Xabi Alonso's change

Since his introduction as Real Madrid's coach, Xabi has made it clear that there would be many changes in the team. Although he had to wait to start training, Xabi got to work at the first opportunity. As he began to establish his playing style, Xabi has also taken charge of making several important decisions.

Having established the free kick takers has been a decision by Xabi because it is a way to express his trust. In addition, choosing two players who are new arrivals at Real Madrid could help both adapt quickly.

By feeling that they have the support of the coach and the rest of the team, Arnold and Mastantuono will be able to develop properly. Likewise, Xabi's decision has made it clear that he will only choose the best for these types of situations.

The beginning of something new for Real Madrid

Although the Club World Cup will be Xabi Alonso's introduction, Real Madrid knows that there is still a whole season ahead. After last season's inconsistency, Xabi has been showing that he is the right one to help Real Madrid.
