Original Title: [Fabrizio Romano] Xabi Alonso’s relationship with some players already complicated since the Club World Cup. Some players did not agree with the coach’s ideas. Xabi wanted to bring his own model and ideas, but the players were used to different things.


In the end, Alonso chose to leave because he considered the decision was best for himself and the club. He did not see the team being able to adapt or accept his style, so he decided to leave Real Madrid.
