Marca: Only 4 players did not play in two rounds, Alonso told Real Madrid players not to relax in the competition for starting

In the second round of La Liga match against Oviedo, Xavi Alonso made four adjustments to the starting lineup, with Carvajal and Rudiger replacing Arnold and Militon on the defense line, and Rodrigo and Mastantono replaced Vinicius and Dias on the front line.

The Marca published an article saying that Alonso sent a clear message to the players through this game: be vigilant, the competition in the starting position is fierce, and no one can relax. Therefore, there are also doubts about the start of Real Madrid's next game. In the first two games, Courtois, Heisen, the midfield trio (Joan Améni Valverde Guerre) and Mbappe started regularly, and Vinicius was technically responsible for the second substitute. There were only four people who did not appear in either game: Lunin, Alaba, Raul Asensio and Fran Garcia.

Like everyone else, Alonso also noticed Vinicius's downturn, so he chose to give him a warning to give Rodrigo a starting opportunity, and to see if the player has enough determination and courage to stay in Real Madrid for the start, and even challenge Vinicius' status. Now, Rodrigo has known that Alonso not only supported him verbally, but also expressed trust in actual actions.
