Xabi's Madrid is in a bad run of form. Players feel uncomfortable with the coach's methods, and the promised exciting football has failed to materialize.


Something seems to have broken in Xabi's Madrid

Something seems to have broken in Xabi's Madrid, which is regressing this season, and some of his players do not seem to feel comfortable with his methods. Xabi's Madrid has entered a spiral of poor results that would not be so worrying if it were not for the noise that comes with it. There is no trace of the suffocating pressure that was promised or of the vertiginous football that the new Real Madrid coach spoke of in the summer. The signals coming from the dressing room are not good. The Whites started the season with a promising football that has almost completely disappeared by the end of November. Against Elche, Xabi tried to change the team's direction by changing the system and players, but it was more of the same: a flat team without ideas that was at the mercy of Sarabia's brilliant team for many minutes.
