TA: Alaba s team says it will be helpful to Alonso; Rodrigo s failure to go to is a joint decision

Hupu August 21, TheAthleticUK Real Madrid team answered the fans' questions.

[Must Board] TA: Real Madrid believes that Gulaire can serve as a midfielder; if Saudi Arabia offers another offer, is it possible that Enderick will be traded before the end of the summer transfer window? ——lyoder

No, we have been reporting on this.

Although many media say that the No. 9 jersey will be given to Gonzalo, when we revealed that he will put on No. 9 jersey, a close friend of the Brazilian player told me: "Hope this will stop them saying he will be loaned."

But I suggest fans pay attention to his situation this season, as the 2026 World Cup is a key factor. If the 19-year-old doesn't get the playing time he wants, his situation will be reassessed next January.

Is Real Madrid confident that David Alaba will return to his pre-injury level? If not, what are their plans? —ParvaS.

This is a complicated story. Alaba is 33 years old. Injuries or relapses have prevented him from playing regularly in the past two years, so the club is pessimistic about his recovery.

As we have reported, Real Madrid hopes that he will leave, but his contract expires in 2026, and the player himself hopes to be able to fulfill it. Sources around Alaba said he had a good relationship with Alonso and after working with him in Bayern Munich, Alaba helped Alonso adapt to the team in the first few months of his return to the club, so let's wait and see.

What role will Fran Garcia play this season? I think he was underrated, and Ancelotti didn't make the most of him - Pierre B.

Despite Alvaro Carreras joining, Fran Garcia still hopes to stay at Real Madrid. In principle, Carreras is the first choice for left-backs, but Garcia's playing time depends on the formation Alonso chose.

The Basque coach has repeatedly reiterated that he will be "flexible" in the starting lineup, which I think means he can adjust flexibly between four or five defenders, which will give Garcia more opportunities.

He has a great performance in the Club World Cup, which may be important for Alonso because he has a lot of games to play - although he also faces competition from Ferran Mendy.

Is Xavi refused to let Rodrigo on the field because of the board's decision or his own choice because the Brazilian was not suitable for his plan? —Yusoft F.

This is a common vision. I think a very important fact helps us understand how consistent Alonso and the club have reached on this issue.

Rodrigo didn't play in the league's first match against Osasuna - would Alonso leave him on the bench if he thought the striker could help the team?

The score was 0-0 at the time. In order to get a good start, Alonso chose Mastantuno and Gonzalo.
