Coach Alonso is ready to eliminate Vinicius

Coach Xabi Alonso is looking for a solution to the problem of harmony between the club's two leading attacking stars, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

The defeat to PSG exposed major problems in Real Madrid's squad, especially the lack of cohesion between Vinicius Jr and Mbappé.

According to the Radio Estadio program, Real Madrid's head coach is willing to let Vinicius be a reserve in the 2025/26 season, even giving the green light to sell the player if the club receives a reasonable offer.

The new Los Blancos boss noticed an imbalance in Real's pressing and defensive capabilities, with both Mbappe and Vinicius having to play. Alonso had initially planned to leave Vinicius on the bench for the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against PSG. The coach had intended to use a 3-5-2 formation, with Mbappe and Gonzalo García partnering up front. However, a sudden injury to right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold forced Alonso to change his plans.

He switched to a 4-3-3 formation, bringing Vinicius back into the starting lineup to ensure attacking power on both sides. This adjustment, although reasonable in theory, did not bring results, as Real Madrid were completely overwhelmed by PSG and lost 0-4.

Therefore, at the start of the 2025/26 season, coach Alonso will be more limited in using both Mbappe and Vinicius. Marca revealed that Alonso intended to leave Vinicius on the bench in the initial plan, showing that he prioritized Mbappe more in his tactical system.

Once expected to become a new symbol at Bernabeu, Vinicius' future is now uncertain. The poor connection between him and Mbappe on the front line is the main cause of many technical and behind-the-scenes problems.
