Aspen: Mbappe, Bellin and Vinicius form a super trident. How Alonso arranges the formation is a problem

On October 17, "AS" reported that with Bellingham returning from injury, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso will officially launch his new "Galactic Battleship" attack line, a super trident composed of Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius.

These three players are worth an astonishing 510 million euros, accounting for one-third of the total value of the Real Madrid team. However, how to achieve balance between these three top attackers on the court is becoming the biggest tactical challenge facing Alonso.

This challenge is not groundless. Under Ancelotti last season, these three superstars started 30 games together, but the team's record was unexpectedly bad: only 17 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses, with a winning rate of just over 50%. What is even more worrying is that in these 30 games, the team conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game, much higher than the season average, and all 10 losses occurred against strong teams such as Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal.

Oddly, the poor team record is in stark contrast to their excellent individual statistics. Last season, the three contributed a staggering 81 goals and 39 assists. This makes how to build a balanced offensive and defensive system around them a thorny problem. The 4-2-3-1 formation Alonso tried in the Madrid derby ended in a 5-2 defeat, exposing the problem of the team easily losing control without Guler in the midfield.

Nowadays, Real Madrid's lineup selection has entered a "white-hot" stage. After Mbappe, Bellingham, Vinicius, Joan Armeni and Valverde have basically locked in the five starting positions in the midfield and frontcourt, the last main spot will be between the two players.

Turkish star Guler, who has contributed 4 goals and 6 assists this season, and Argentinian attacker Mastan Tuono, who is worth more than 63 million euros. Before the upcoming El Clasico, Real Madrid will also face Getafe and Juventus. These two games will be a key testing ground for Alonso to find the best answer.
