The recent Club World Cup served as an excellent laboratory for the Basque coach. He was able to test tactical variations and observe the behavior of several prospects. Xabi Alonso was demanding, but he also left room for learning.
Despite the tough defeat against PSG, the Madrid side left a good impression. Several players replied solidly in demanding situations. This international tournament allowed the staff to draw conclusions for the upcoming season.
Some names excelled brightly in the most important matches. Others, however, showed that they need minutes elsewhere. That's why the transfer market remains very active at Santiago Bernabéu.
