Alonso revealed to be confident of Real Madrid fringe forward

Another year has passed, and Brahim Diaz once again finds himself in a familiar situation: despite performing every time he is called on to play, the Moroccan forward still faces difficulties in getting consistent playing time. So far this season, the former Manchester City star has played less than 250 minutes in all competitions. On the right, he has been surpassed by rookie Mastantuono.

According to "AS", Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso still has full confidence in Diaz despite not being given much playing time, and played a crucial role in finalizing the details of the Moroccan's long-term contract.

It is reported that Diaz's current contract will last until 2027, and the new contract is expected to keep him at the Bernabeu Stadium until 2030. Alonso believes that the Moroccan forward's high-intensity, hard-working and concise style of play is very consistent with his tactical style.

As far as Diaz is concerned, although he does not have much playing time, he is also very patient in dealing with his current situation and the problem of not having much playing time in Real Madrid. Through hard work, daily struggle and positive attitude, he has won the recognition of Ancelotti and Alonso.

The 26-year-old versatile frontcourt player scored a goal as a substitute in the Champions League match against Kairat Almaty. In the La Liga game against Villarreal, he assisted Mbappe to seal the victory in just 15 minutes.

So far this season, Diaz has scored one goal and assisted two times in only 239 minutes of playing time. He is directly involved in a goal every 80 minutes on average. His efficiency is amazing.
