Establish your authority! BBC: Alonso wants to establish a new order, Vinicius expected a more personal relationship

After the controversy over Vinicius' substitution, the BBC wrote an article today, talking about the relationship between Vinicius and coach Alonso.

Since Alonso took office, Vinicius no longer feels that he is "irreplaceable". Under Carlo Ancelotti, he was given the freedom to express himself, to improvise, to lead instinctively and to become the heart of a team that often revolved around him.

Under the coaching of Alonso, the team's atmosphere is more rigorous, or in the words of some players, more "rigid". Alonso aims to establish a system and create a team with strict discipline and tacit understanding, a team with a clear tactical system and a sense of shared responsibility.

Many people in the locker room are still adapting. For them, Alonso's coaching method is unfamiliar and harsh. But for Alonso, after a disappointing season, the system is non-negotiable. This is the style he believes in and what attracted him to Real Madrid in the first place.

There has always been tension between Vinicius and Alonso. Before the Club World Cup match against Paris, Vinicius was informed that he would serve as a substitute. He reacted strongly and Alonso stood firm, determined to show that no player, no matter how talented, was above the dictates.

Alonso insists that Vinicius will not play every game, he needs more rest, and Rodrygo will compete with him on the left. Alonso's stance stems from authority and planning. Vinicius, who was used to being pampered, found it difficult to adapt.

This coach's coaching style is in line with his playing days: methodical, in control of the overall situation, and he has a personality that is not afraid of confrontation. He wants every member of the team to understand who is setting the tone. For him, coaching Real Madrid means establishing order rather than surrendering to stardom.

At the same time, Vinicius felt like he was being treated like an ordinary player, when he had expected a closer, more personal relationship. The warmth he shared with Ancelotti was gone, replaced by a professional distance.
