Real Madrid are having a very good start to the season under Xabi Alonso, with 13 wins in 15 games played in La Liga (11) and the Champions League (4).

However, there are still doubts and questions raised about the 43-year-old coach, as the two defeats Real Madrid suffered were both against formidable opponents - in big matches.

That was the crushing 2-5 defeat to Atletico in the Madrid derby on September 27 and most recently Real Madrid fell 0-1 to Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League group stage.

Overall, Xabi Alonso has been quite good with the Vultures and everything seems to be progressing smoothly. But besides that, the reality is that this former player has completely failed the two most difficult tests.

Recently there has been rumors that some Real Madrid players are not satisfied with Xabi Alonso, thinking that he has not treated them fairly.

And it seems that the 'undercurrents' are still simmering in the Bernabeu dressing room, as El Chiringuito has just revealed that Real Madrid's core squad is increasingly dissatisfied with the former Leverkusen captain.

Some players of the white team said, " Xabi Alonso is too cold and does not understand them, is not close to the team, completely opposite to the friendliness and warmth that they felt very clearly under Carlo Ancelotti ".

The source added that the most recent tension was when Xabi decided to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold onto the field with only 9 minutes left in the match against Liverpool, causing the player to be booed from the Anfield stands.

Real Madrid stars are said to have questioned the captain's actions, feeling Trent Alexander-Arnold should have been given more minutes against his former club.

A tactical approach and strict discipline – two key factors that convinced Real Madrid’s leadership to appoint Xabi Alonso – now seem to be causing friction with some players in the squad, who miss Ancelotti’s closeness.

Xabi Alonso, in addition to bringing positive results on the field, is advised to be more flexible and understand the minds of Real Madrid's stars to form a unified block, ready to fight for all titles.
