Neville: Alonso is a little immature compared to Enrique

In the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid 4-0 and advanced to the finals. After the game, former England international Gary Neville analyzed the game in the show "The Overlap", and he believes that the key to Paris' victory lies in the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper and defense.

The Paris defense is better than the minor general, although both sides are facing a serious shortage of defense personnel, Paris Saint-Germain has performed significantly better than Real Madrid on the defensive end.

Paris lacks main center back William Pacho and versatile Lucas Hernandez, who was suspended due to the quarterfinals red. Head coach Luis Enrique quickly made adjustments: teenager Lucas Berardo replaced Pacho and continued to rely on Ashraf Hakimi, Marginhos and Nuno Mendes to form the three-center-back system.

This arrangement has allowed Paris to maintain a solid defensive structure. Marginhos is determined as the core of the defense line, while Mendes successfully restricts Real Madrid's key attack on the left.

In contrast, Real Madrid, in the absence of central defender Dean Heisen and main right-back Arnold, coach Xavi Alonso tried to fill the vacancy with Asensio and Federico Valverde. However, this adjustment did not work.

"Real Madrid's already turbulent defense has exposed problems many times this season, and is even more vulnerable when facing Paris' strong offensive firepower." Neville commented.

The former Manchester United star also pointed out: "Alonso's arrangement in this game seemed too immature, and he lacked experience and coping ability compared to Enrique."

This game was played at MetLife Stadium in New York. Real Madrid was originally regarded as a favorite to advance, but was completely passive on both offense and defense, and eventually suffered a crushing defeat.

From the perspective of the competition, Paris not only has an advantage in personal ability and overall coordination, but more importantly, they are more mature and sophisticated in personnel adjustment and tactical arrangement. Real Madrid exposed problems such as unstable defense and insufficient midfield control
