TA: Vinicius feels Alonso is unfair to him and Valverde prefers to play in the midfield

The Athletic wrote an article about the performance of some Real Madrid players under Alonso. The article stated that Vinicius felt that Alonso was unfair to him.

Vinicius

Vinicius has a good relationship with Ancelotti, but the relationship with Alonso is very tense. He feels that the new coach is unfair to him. Although he started 10 times this season, he only played 3 games.

This was especially obvious against Barcelona. When Real Madrid led 2-1, Vinicius was replaced in the 72nd minute. He reacted violently. TV cameras captured him saying: "I want to leave the team, it is better for the team if I leave, I want to leave."

Vinicius later apologized in training and issued a public statement on Wednesday to apologize, but the statement did not mention Alonso. TA reported that people close to the player said he deliberately concealed this.

Vinicius is one of the Real Madrid players who feels that their confidence and freedom have been reduced by Alonso's football philosophy. However, his data is very close to last season: he averaged 8.3 one-on-one opportunities per 90 minutes in La Liga last season, compared with 8.5 this season. The success rate has dropped slightly, from 39% to 36%.

Valverde

Valverde had a difficult and controversial start to Alonso's first season, which he was not used to, but Alonso spoke highly of him. At the end of September, due to the injuries of Alexander-Arnold and Carvajal, Real Madrid agreed that Valverde was the best candidate to fill the right back position. Valverde does not like to play at right-back, which he has made clear to the media and has also spoken about it within the club. Now, Valverde has found more stability at right-back, but he would rather play in midfield.

Enderrick

Enderrick is the player in the most difficult situation in Real Madrid's first team. He has not yet had a chance to play for a minute. The 19-year-old forward missed the Club World Cup due to injury. The injury later recurred, causing him to miss the start of the new season. He has not played since his comeback. Because of this, Enderrick is willing to leave the team on loan in January to gain game time and strive to be selected for the Brazilian team to participate in the World Cup. Lyon have shown interest in him and Ndrick himself is keen to join the Ligue 1 side.
