MADRID — New Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said in his first press conference on May 26 that he had an "idea of how we want to play" as he faces the poser of how to mould his array of attacking stars into a cohesive team.

The Spaniard signed a three-year contract until June 2028, returning to the Santiago Bernabeu, where he spent six seasons as a player and won several trophies.

Despite his scoring exploits since his arrival last summer, Kylian Mbappe seems to have thrown off balance the Los Blancos team already boasting the attacking prowess of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, as well as youngsters Endrick and Arda Guler.
