Most of Real Madrid's games are played at 3 o'clock in the morning. Those who are the best in setting the pace in the Real Madrid zone rarely appear during the night games. These people often set the pace after watching the game results during the day. Many of them are Bellingham fans, Valverde fans, and fans of Vinicius and other Brazilians, so they have a lot of prejudice against Alonso. As a Real Madrid fan, I came out to give Alonso a few words.
Many people are saying that Alonso will play three central defenders after taking charge of Chelsea. In fact, Alonso is not as inflexible as Amorim. He played three central defenders in Leverkusen because Grimaldo and Frimpong were too lacking in defensive ability. Tuchel was The purpose of using 3 central defenders is to increase the intensity of midfield confrontation, resulting in local overplaying and quick transition. Alonso only tried 3 central defenders during the Club World Cup run-in period at Real Madrid. After that, he played the most 433 and 4231 tactics in Real Madrid. I have never heard of Chelsea having a central defender with outstanding ball-playing ability, and Cucurella and Gusto are relatively more balanced and stable. It is not only the wing-backs who can take advantage of their advantages. Therefore, Chelsea will most likely still adopt a 4-back tactical strategy, and may occasionally use 3 central defenders in cup games to increase the diversity of tactics.
I also watched part of Chelsea's games, and the biggest problem is the lack of offensive efficiency and offensive methods. Alonso has made one of the biggest tactical improvements at Real Madrid, which is a significant increase in the number of set-piece goals. This is a growth point that Chelsea will most likely achieve next season. In several games where Chelsea played relatively well this season, Reece James sorted out the ball on the right side of Caicedo. In this situation, the pressure on the midfielder and the right was much less. In view of Reese James' age and injuries, what Alonso needs to add most when he takes office is a midfield lubricant. Secondly, there is Chelsea's winger. Running backs with strength and speed are popular in the Premier League. Chelsea's wing offense has always been lacking. Paris is now selling Barcola to the outside world. This winger is capable of playing on both sides. Chelsea can see results quickly if they buy him. As for Esteban, his physical condition is more suitable for playing inside forward, false 9 position or 2 forward.
In short, the Chelsea team can fully satisfy Alonso's high-pressing tactics. Chelsea is not like Real Madrid, the players are very self-willed, so Chelsea will be very competitive next season, that's it.
