Xabi Alonso divides Valdebebas right before the match against Real Oviedo, here's why

After its victory against Osasuna, Real Madrid is focused on securing 3 points in its visit to Real Oviedo. To achieve this, Xabi Alonso has caused an unexpected change in Valdebebas. Fields 1 and 2 were divided into sections so Xabi Alonso can work on the team's tactics.

In addition to focusing on the squad's physical condition, Xabi aims to refine several tactical aspects. According to what we know at Defensa Central, this has been Xabi's most recent innovation to improve the entire team. One of the first new features he implemented was the drone, through which Xabi could observe the players' movements.

Recognized for the distinct style he implements in his teams, Xabi is a coach who places great importance on tactics. Although his style could be seen at the World Cup, Xabi is aware that there is still room for improvement. The coach has a clear intention for the squad to have a clear idea of the tactics he seeks to implement.

Xabi Alonso's perfectionism

Since his time as a player, Xabi Alonso has always stood out for his clear tactical intelligence in every team where he played. He transferred this quality to his coaching career, imprinting a great style on every team he has managed. His time at Leverkusen is clear proof of the refined tactics Xabi seeks to have at Real Madrid.

Although the Merengue squad has extremely talented players, Xabi seeks to make the most of their qualities. For this reason, working on tactics is a matter of utmost importance for the coach. Xabi is not satisfied with his players knowing what to do with the ball, but also what to do when they do not have it.

His versatile style of constant pressure against his opponent is beginning to be recognizable at Real Madrid.  However, Xabi seeks to keep refining this style even further to make the team unstoppable. In addition, Xabi has made it clear that he has no problem changing the formation according to the needs of the match.

Real Madrid's style

After spending the last few months working hard to change several aspects of the team, Xabi is beginning to achieve his goal. The match against Real Oviedo could be the confirmation of the changes Xabi has worked so hard on. All that remains is to wait a few hours to witness the team's improvement after the changes in Valdebebas.
