The Real Madrid coach is messing around! The away lineup changes + 3 substitutions are useless, Spain’s 21-year-old genius was abandoned in the battle

In the early morning of November 5, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage started. Real Madrid played as a guest against Liverpool, which was not doing well. As a result, the La Liga giants lost 0-1 to their opponents and suffered their first defeat in the Champions League this season. In this game, Alonso's tactical arrangements and substitutions once again raised questions.

Last season, Real Madrid lost to their opponents at Anfield. However, Liverpool was in full swing at the time, so it was not surprising that Real Madrid lost. In contrast, Liverpool has only won 2 games in the past 8 games in all competitions, and its form has declined significantly. Real Madrid has won 6 consecutive games, and Mbappe has scored in consecutive games. In this battle, Real Madrid is obviously favored.

Unexpectedly, Real Madrid coach Alonso chose to change the formation 4141. Although this tactic added one more player to Real Madrid's midfield, it did not give them an advantage on the field. After the game started, Liverpool's offense easily passed through Real Madrid's midfield and repeatedly created threats. If Courtois hadn't made many divine saves, Real Madrid's door would have been penetrated long ago.

However, Liverpool's goal arrived late. In the 61st minute of the second half, Szobosroy passed a cross into the penalty area. McAllister finally grabbed the point and headed the ball into the goal. This time Courtois was finally powerless. This goal also determined the fate of the two teams. In the end, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home. The latter's undefeated Champions League golden streak this season was finally broken.

It must be said that the biggest failure of Real Madrid in this game was coach Alonso. His change of formation and work in such a big battle was completely random. When the team fell into a passive situation and fell behind, Alonso replaced Rodrigo, Arnold and Diaz in the second half. As a result, the three substitutions were basically useless, and they failed to change the situation on the field.

It is worth mentioning that when Real Madrid's offense was in trouble, Alonso did not choose to give Gonzalo Garcia a chance. In this game, the 21-year-old Spanish genius sat on the bench for 90 minutes and was completely abandoned. Real Madrid fans all know that in this summer's Club World Cup, Gonzalo Garcia broke out completely. He scored 4 goals and was the best forward in the Real Madrid team. It was originally thought that Gonzalo Garcia would be reused in the new season, but now it seems that Alonso does not have enough trust in the youngster. So far this season, Gonzalo Garcia has only started once. In this focus battle, he did not get a chance to play for one minute. Obviously, in Alonso's mind, Gonzalo Garcia's status is not much higher than Endrick's. If this continues, Gonzalo Garcia may have to consider whether he has to ask for a loan to go out for training!
