Alonso s key mission: Activate the best form of three Real Madrid players

Next Monday, Real Madrid will start their shrinking preseason journey under the leadership of new head coach Alonso and actively prepare for the 2025/26 season.

According to journalist Thomas Gonzalez Martin on the El Debate program, Alonso set a major goal for himself after carefully observing the entire team, namely to restore Vinicius, Rodrigo and Asensio to rejuvenate them.

In recent times, various rumors about Vinicius' contract renewal negotiations and salary and benefits have been rampant. The 25-year-old Brazilian striker lost his attention due to uncertainty in the future and the Golden Globe farce, and his performance on the court plummeted.

Alonso's response was very simple: Vinicius was asked to focus on football, play the game first, and everything else would follow.

Of course, there is another saying that Vinicius's energy is used to compete with Mbappe internally, which has affected his performance. Alonso's job is to readjust the Brazilian's mentality and emphasize the importance of whole-hearted dedication and defensive work in his tactical system.

As for Rodrigo, while the 24-year-old Brazilian has repeatedly reiterated his desire to stay with the team, rumors about his departure this summer remain endless. Real Madrid will continue to listen to quotes from several major Premier League giants.

Last season, Rodrigo's form was downright sharply, resulting in his current position in the team, behind Mbappe, Vinicius and even Gonzalo Garcia. If the Brazilian stays at Royals, Alonso will work hard to push him to regain his speed, dribbling and creativity, while also demanding more when off the ball.

Asensio's confidence was severely hit after making fatal mistakes in the Club World Cup. Alonso will communicate with the young defender and evaluate his mental state and be willing to continue to trust him, with the goal of restoring his confidence and eliminating any doubts in his heart.

It is reported that Alonso plans to meet with these three players alone after the team resumes training on Monday. Of course, the effect remains to be seen.
