Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso prepares his team for a crucial match against Juventus. The Spanish manager will face the Italian club on Tuesday during the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16. Alonso chooses a 3-5-2 formation for this important game. He used this same setup against RB Salzburg and won 3-0. The strategy worked perfectly during that group stage match.
The formation helped Real Madrid control the middle of the field. Alonso's players moved the ball quickly from side to side. They created many scoring chances through fast attacks. The defense stayed strong and organized throughout the game. This tactical approach gave the team balance on both ends of the field.
Alonso will start Rüdiger, Hausen, and Arnold as his three defenders. The midfield will feature Fran García, Billingham, Güler, Valverde, and Tchouaméni. Vinícius will partner with either Mbappé or Gonzalo up front. The coach believes this lineup can handle Juventus. Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo reported these tactical plans.
