Real Madrid beat Salzburg 3-0! Alonso magically changed the formation, France s iron waist became the decisive needle

Real Madrid once again showed their kingly style in the Champions League. The 3-0 victory over Salzburg was not just a victory, but more like a perfect display of Alonso's coaching philosophy. This former midfielder is reshaping the Galaxy battleship in his own way, and from this game, we see so many details worth pondering.

Chu Améni: The stabilizing needle in Alonso's eyes

"pillar " - this is the vocabulary used by Alonso to describe Chu Améni. In the football world, coaches’ words are never random, and every description carries deep tactical thinking. When Alonso said Chu Ameni was the "pillar" of the team, he was actually telling everyone: This Real Madrid is Chu Ameni plus 10 other people.

The French midfielder's performance in the past three games perfectly interprets what "all-round warrior" is. He can intercept and sweep in the midfield, and can also retreat to the central defender position to participate in the ball when needed. This seamless switching of roles is exactly the highest requirement for midfielders in modern football.

Interestingly, it is not just Alonso who favors Chu Ameni. Ancelotti also relied on him during his time, and Deschamps directly handed the captain's armband to him when Mbappe was absent. Why do coaches like to work with him? The answer is simple: he can listen, learn quickly, execute strongly, and always desire to make progress.

Alonso commented on Chu Ameni this way: "Aurelian has a desire to improve and a desire to become important. He is an indispensable pillar because of his influence, because he can play different roles according to different positions. He needs to make small decisions constantly to help the entire team. "

Perhaps in Chu Ameni, Alonso saw himself when he was young - a leader who could implement coaching philosophy in the midfield.

Never Stagnant Tactical Change

If Chu Améni was the executor of Alonso, then the ever-changing formation is the work of art of the Spanish coach. Spanish media revealed that Alonso "crazyly wants to use the three central defender system". During the Leverkusen era, he often started with a three-back and then switched to 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 in the game, and then changed back.

This constantly evolving characteristic was fully demonstrated in Real Madrid's first three games. Although the staffing has not been greatly adjusted, the system and position have changed in every game.

is mainly used in the 4-3-3 formation, with Vinicius and Rodrigo providing the width of the wing. Against Pachuca (before the red card), Feder plays a role similar to Odgao, moving on the right but still having the freedom to cruise in the middle, while Arnold maintains the width of the wing. It's more like 4-2-3-1, with Arda and Chu Ameni as double midfielders. After Asensio was sent off early, Alonso adjusted again, moving Vinicius to the middle and Gonzalola to the side to better support the 10-man battle.

And in the game against Salzburg, the formation is mainly 3-1-4-2. Alonso was finally able to implement his three-back system. Sometimes the team's pass cooperation and counter-attack were simply works of art. After the pain of the past 12 months, the game has shown many encouraging clips – both offense and defense.

Alonso's tactical vision and adjustments in the game make watching the game more interesting.

Guller: Conquer the stadium with wisdom

The question surrounding Arda Guller has always been: Can he adapt to the role of a two-way midfielder? On the wing, he lacks the explosive power that most wingers have and has relatively few opportunities to touch the ball. To gain a place in the middle, he must prove that he can be both offensive and defensive and truly participate in the competition.

While a bigger test is still ahead, the Turkish genius is proving that he can compete in the midfield position so far. With his outstanding resistance to stress and calmness under pressure, he is becoming the core of the Deep Organization.

The most surprising thing in the Salzburg game was his defensive contribution. He led the team with 8 ground-to-ground victory, completing 3 tackles and 1 interception, and a total of 5 defensive moves (pressing, tackle, fill-up, intercepting pass).

60 minutes later, he felt obviously tired. This is one aspect he needs to improve: physical fitness level and learning to preserve strength when needed.

This will be a crucial year for Arda Guller. As some fans said: "I really believe that Arda Guller's long-term position is in the middle, not the right winger. If Modric does not renew his contract, let Arda devour those playing time next year. "

Gonzalo Garcia: Spanish national team new star?

Yes, it's too early to say it-but this child is shocking everyone. He is the apocalypse of this event. Last season, I said I had never seen a player who took the opportunity like Raul Asensio, but Gonzalo Garcia might be competing with his teammates.

His runs and off-ball movements – especially in Vinicius’ goals – were top-notch.

Given Spain's difficulties in developing top centers, Gonzalo may be more likely to enter the national team than most. It is not a fantasy to predict his early selection.

After all, Barcelona players have been called up for less performance...

Conclusion: The new chapter of the Galaxy Battleships

Real Madrid's 3-0 victory over Salzburg was not only a victory, but also a perfect display of Alonso's coaching philosophy. Chu'amuni's all-round performance, flexible changes in the tactical system, Guler's midfield transformation and Gonzalo's amazing performance all indicate that this Real Madrid is undergoing a profound change.

Under Alonso's leadership, the Galaxy Battleship is redefining its football philosophy. This is not a simple personnel replacement, but a comprehensive innovation from tactical concepts to player roles. When Chu Ameni became an unshakable pillar, when Guller found his place in the midfield, and when the young Gonzalo showed his national team potential, we saw a transformational Real Madrid. Real Madrid like

deserves our continued attention. Because under Alonso's innovative leadership, every game may bring new surprises.
