Tensions at Real Madrid are intensifying as reports of unrest under Xabi Alonso continue to mount.

Following a third consecutive game without a win against Elche, the club hierarchy is reportedly alarmed at the lack of fight and cohesion on the pitch.

Speculation around strained relationships with key players, including Vinicius Junior, has only added to the pressure.

Player-manager disconnect causes concern

Since El Clasico, the disconnect between Alonso and his squad has been apparent.

Sources suggest the manager is struggling to motivate players when facing adversity, and recent performances have reinforced fears that the situation is “starting to become unsustainable.”

While Madrid are willing to give Alonso time, they expect a quick reaction to halt growing unrest.

Calls for change emerging among players

According to journalist Jorge Picon, some Real Madrid players are reportedly in favour of a managerial change.

Frustration with Alonso is more widespread than publicly perceived, and within the boardroom, voices are emerging that a change at the helm may be necessary if results and performances do not improve.

Alonso faces a crucial test in the upcoming Champions League clash against Olympiakos, where both victory and a strong showing will be crucial to stabilizing his position at the club.
