The '4 singled out' by Xabi in WSG Tirol - Real Madrid: they've been under scrutiny

Real Madrid is winning 4 goals to 0 (0) against Tirol in this friendly. Militao and Mbappé scored twice each, and a final one from Rodrygo are the goalscorers.

What's remarkable is that Mbappé, Brahim, Güler, and Huijsen haven't been substituted in the 60th minute, when so many changes have taken place. This means that Xabi wants to keep watching them on the field.

With this, we can see a bit of the direction the start of the season might take, with Xabi trusting certain players. All this from the beginning of the match and, in some way, they've shown him something that made him keep them on the field.

Alonso's chosen ones

These are the ones who, at least initially, will be responsible for securing a starting spot at the beginning of the season. Players in whom Alonso seems to have trust from the start of the project.

Mbappé is the main one among these names, being last season's top scorer and now consolidating himself with a brace in this match. In addition, Huijsen and Güler aim to be the pillars in their respective positions. With the added bonus that Brahim will complement the right wing beyond Rodrygo.

With this clear, the start of the season looks better than ever and everything suggests there's a starting eleven on the table.
