Xabi Alonso has started his time at Real Madrid with a very clear roadmap. He wants maximum intensity and discipline in every match. However, the start of his project hasn't been free of significant setbacks.
The Basque coach has had to deal with several key absences in recent months. These absences have affected his game plan. The medical room became an obstacle to reaching the most competitive version of the team.
Xabi Alonso smiles at Real Madrid
In this context, good news has arrived just in time. Two key players have been medically cleared and are already training normally. In Valdebebas, this is celebrated as if they were new signings from the market.
The first is Eduardo Camavinga, who had already coincided with Xabi Alonso at the Club World Cup, although he didn't show his best level. The second is Endrick, who hasn't been able to debut with the new coach after signing in the summer.
Camavinga and Endrick return with strength
This is seen as a true double signing. Camavinga returns determined to regain his place in the midfield after weeks of uncertainty. Meanwhile, Endrick generates excitement because his official debut is closer than ever.
Xabi Alonso knows that both footballers can make a difference. The Frenchman brings balance, physical presence, and quality in distribution. The Brazilian, on the other hand, offers unpredictability, goals, and a freshness that can surprise any defense.
Top-level reinforcements for the white project
The recovery of these two players comes at a key moment in the season. Real Madrid faces decisive weeks in all competitions. Having extra resources is always an advantage for any coach.
In addition, Alonso thus avoids having to force other footballers into positions that aren't theirs. Managing minutes will be essential. The Basque coach now has reliable alternatives to give rest without losing competitiveness.
That's why, in the Madridist environment, this situation is seen as if they were two major signings. Without spending on transfers, Real Madrid adds quality and depth. The return of Camavinga and the imminent emergence of Endrick strengthen the project.
The Madridist fans celebrate this moment as a true gift. There's no more exciting signing than recovering the talent lost to injuries. For Xabi Alonso, having Camavinga and Endrick is, without a doubt, the boost he needed.
