Marca: Alonso faces many challenges before the start of the new season, and there are too many forwards to be reshaped in the back defense

The new La Liga season is coming, and Marca analyzes several challenges faced by Real Madrid's new coach Xavi Alonso.

Alonso has officially started work at the training base of Waldbebas. For the Tolosa man, the Club World Cup marks the glorious end of an era, and now he will inject personal style into the team through key decisions. With only two weeks left before the debut of the La Liga against Osasuna on August 19, Xavi Alonso urgently needs to solve a number of urgent issues to ensure that the lineup completes its running-in before the opening game.

The defensive end has become the biggest question. The club signed three defenders this summer, but it takes a difficult choice to integrate into the starting lineup. At the center back position, new player Wyson may replace Asensio, while Militon returns from injury and is in excellent form, and Rudiger is still indispensable as the core of the defensive defense in the past two seasons. The competition for full-backs is also fierce. Mendy missed the league due to injury, and Fran Garcia needs to compete with Mendy, who is about to return for the left position; on the right, Carvajal returned from injury and Alexander Arnold joined, forming a competitive pattern.

The midfield configuration is also full of variables. With Modric leaving the team, a vacancy sparked a competition from many parties. Joan Améni was established as a midfielder during the Club World Cup. Although Camavenga has recovered from injury, he has not participated in the Club World Cup, so he needs to re-prove his value. Guerre plays a core role in the Club World Cup similar to Cross, but it is unclear whether this positioning will continue in the new season. In addition, Bellingham is expected to return to the team after recovering from injury at the end of October, and his substitute must be determined during this period; Valverde's position must also be clarified, he can play on the wing or draw in the midfield. The problem of oversupply of forward personnel is particularly prominent. After Enderick, who performed well in the World Cup, joined, Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrigo and Dias formed a fierce competition. Xavi Alonso faces two core tasks: integrating Mbappe and Vinicius, and the two failed to form a tacit cooperation last season. To clarify Rodrigo's future, although he started in the Club World Cup, he had few playing time, which has triggered transfer rumors. Dias only scored 100 minutes in the Club World Cup, and his positioning was also vague.
