Due to stricter management style, Alonso is in differences with some players

According to some Spanish media outlet, tensions between Xabi Alonso and several Real Madrid players have escalated in recent weeks, with some first-team players expressing dissatisfaction with his management style and the significant changes implemented since he took charge of the squad this summer.。

Reports indicate significant differences exist between Ancelotti's and Xabi Alonso's management approaches. Sources close to Alonso's coaching staff suggest Real Madrid players had developed certain undesirable habits.

The new manager and his coaching team's first action was to establish new protocols, placing particular emphasis on punctuality and high-intensity training. However, the aforementioned media outlet notes that not all players have embraced these changes. Sources close to first-team players reveal a prevailing sense of frustration within the dressing room, with many veterans feeling disrespected and discontented.

"Some individuals, having achieved so much previously, are reluctant to comply with these demands. Naturally, they grumble when such rules are imposed upon them. This isn't a secret; certain cases have already been made public. It's only natural, particularly for players once considered untouchable," A source explained.

A person close to one Real Madrid veteran even stated bluntly: "He thinks he's Guardiola, but so far he's just Alonso."

Despite the apparent widening rift between the manager and certain players, the reality is that the former Bayer Leverkusen boss and his coaching staff have delivered commendable results, providing a solid foundation for navigating the current situation. As long as the team maintains strong performances on the pitch, Alonso will retain the upper hand, even if it means sacrificing the contentment of some players
