Vinicius Junior opened to a handshake and a slap on the back from Xeon Alonso, right after he hit the tunnel, ‘crying I’m going to the club’. Fittingly, Alonso looked for Brazil to accept after the final whistle. Given the way Brazil had been doing how it felt about Brazil through Alonso, this was the equivalent of the couple sitting down and shaking hands for the cameras of the Internats Peace Compari treaty.
‘What we have to protect, and we have to protect the manager,’ explained the excellent senior manager Klia Mbappe, without being asked about it. Having spent the Vice Conference of the day before the previous match that was broadcast with a quick attack, which finds serious and old ways of questioning him repeatedly about his relationship with the dressing room, Alonso went on the topic to answer a day later. “HOURS HOURS ARE GREAT AND PROFITABLE; They have helped us to continue to grow, to face difficult times, and I found the unity of the players to be very good,” he confirmed. This time with a 4-3 win over the Olympians they gave more writing to the article they were printing.

Seeing how the wind was blowing, Fede Valverde, one of the faces of the real Madrid rebels, took to social media to say that “it is not always easy, but the technical staff and the players are more united than before.” If the pictures and the attacking performance were not enough to show that something has changed in the real camp of madrid, the major radio stations have stepped up to bring their details of Alonso’s change in attitude, improved situation.
To be clear, this is excellent. Alonso will have a way to go before distrust ends the real heat – even with Valverde’s message, it is acknowledged that this new unity is hard work. But renewed pledges of commitment will quiet the noise enough for him to make himself above it, and at least for Greece, a decisive first win.
The manager of Real Madrid is still in the stage of small talk about his team, but the Olimpiakos find the vinicius range full of charms. For the first time this season, Vinicius felt unstoppable. Flowing like a river on the left side, his compatriot was one of several players left by the rapids. Vinicius had three shots on goal, six in total, two assists and a goal and a disallowed goal. This season the Brazilian Aganise-Adf Take-ONS with one successful game in eight attempts, but against the Olympians he finished his eight attempts, and repeated his shot rates.
Los Blancos threatened to leave with NUCLEA after the discovery of MBAPPE’s moment, and if Vinicius’ Goal, moments after eliminating the victim of Georgiskakis Stadium on the face of the earth. It was the fourth real time Madrid had scored four points or more this season, but for the first time their attack felt truly fluid, in their best offensive display. Oppositely, this is the first time that Vinicius and Mbappe have unleashed their full potential together.
That was the effect of equalizing the Greek fortress in the spare 20 minutes, the game felt afterwards. When Ayoub El Kaabi gave you a header with nine minutes left, a football game that had been destroyed came back to life; Karaiskakis was actually standing, the sound of OlympikKos support rushed back and their side was still in it. Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men had two outstanding chances to equalize.
“The job is wanted but I am not the first manager to have to face this situation. I think a lot about the way Carlo (Ancolotti) or Jose (Mourinho) manage.”

“There are two sides to it. The two in front hurt us a lot, but also because they rested a lot when we had the ball,” said Mendilibar after the ball. “It’s not the other eight who try to defend and run. When they get the ball back, they start to run, to go one-on-one … and they succeed with almost everything they have.”
Alonso may have succeeded in getting Vinicius and Valverde to sign a peace deal, but the question is what did he stop negotiating for? OlympikKos had eight shots on goal and 18 in total. Los Blancos’ lack of control was evident against Alicante three days earlier, when Elche had six shots on target and 15 in total. Real Madrid went from defending in their own half, not well – although Piraeus can confidently say that they have been playing. Compare this with Alonso’s first games before the Madrid Derby, with his WEDIAL if a certain method of humor, which resulted in an average of three shots on goal and 8.4 total.

Loosening the leash on vinicius and mbAppe, giving them space to exercise their predatory desires, the legal way. It’s not just Alonso who was brought in to fight. It’s great with Arda Guler and Trex Alexander-Arnold, in Greece Both presented a series of passes to the frontline pit companies to hunt down. At the beginning of Alonso’s impact, both can be found exchanging short passes 30-40 meters from the goal, with the defense and the real Madrid team in front of it.
One person of the method that came to mind is Carlo Ancolotti. Coming out against Elche and Olympique would not be considered out of place under the Italian. With Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger returning from injury, Alonso will hope it looks less like the chaos that fueled Ancolotti’s warm-up last year. Another outstanding stat line of the night ‘night’ – Olympiakos was the only game this season that he started without recording a separation, tackle or participation in the challenge.
The public announcements of the new Alliance show that Alonso has changed his approach. The difference in Vinicius’ on-ball and off-ball is widely regarded as the first sign of a major compromise in it. Can Alenso make it consistent with the more discipline and governance his appointment has symbolized? The results will be called if the Peace Agreement holds, but his margin of error in the dressing room has been filled.
