The Spanish media "Marca" wrote an article saying that Real Madrid players have understood and adapted to the tactics of Xavi Alonso, and Joan Améni is the key piece.

Xavi Alonso's new Real Madrid coached not only plays better, but also plays more organized.

Xavi Alonso asserted on the first day of taking over the Real Madrid coach: "We want fans to be proud and convey emotions and joy. Let people go to the stadium to enjoy the game. If we can ignite this, we will have an unstoppable force."

Just a few games are enough to make people notice some changes. The ball runs with different intentions, and players can understand each other without words, while what seemed to be improvisational in the past now seems to be carefully arranged.

Xavi Alonso changed the tactical board, and the team responded as if they had played so much for many years. Each game is a lesson about adaptation, dedication and collective wisdom.

Joan Améni said: "Thanks to the wisdom of the team, we have the ability to adjust every time Harvey Alonso asks." Harvey Alonso brings far more than one system, he brings identity, something that is even harder to achieve. In a dressing room like Real Madrid, it is no small matter to have a gathering of superstars and a brilliant history. Alonso makes every player feel like he is part of a grand plan. He integrates talent and sacrifice, tactics and instincts, discipline and freedom. The running during the offense is continuous, which makes it easier to create space. This is the core of a key lesson in the Xavi Alonso philosophy, which must occupy all the space at all times, but not always done by the same player.

One of the main defensive principles of the Xavi Alonso team is to maintain a compact formation on the defensive end and midfield, where position and space are the key to understanding everything. Whether the team starts with a five-back formation or uses a hybrid formation, Real Madrid players can handle any situation extremely easily. Against Dortmund, Xavi Alonso practiced another tactical lesson.

When the team is in possession, Real Madrid returns to the 4-2-3-1 formation in the key quarter-finals, and alternates with Xavi Alonso's five-back formation when defending. Arnold formed a defense line with Rudiger and Wyson, while Valverde completely retreated to control Adeyemi's impact on the right wing. Through this change, Real Madrid tried to tighten the formation to curb Dortmund's performance, who did not complete his first shot until the 60th minute.

Harvey Alonso commented: "Joan Améni is adaptable and is very smart in understanding concepts. His position is crucial to me and can make us strong in the midfield area." Joan Améni is the key piece that gives all meaning. The formation is changing, but the players' responses are consistent and prompt.

There will be tough nights and strong opponents in the future, and they will test Real Madrid, which seems to be shining and perfectly matched at this moment. When a locker room is convinced and when a coach makes everyone believe, the formation no longer matters, and is replaced by a new belief.
