Marca: Alonso s return is considered to be version 2.0 of Mourinho s era, and needs to revitalize his fighting spirit to deal with Barcelona s challenges

new coach Alonso coaches Real Madrid's first team, and "Marca" wrote an article about the coaching situation of Real Madrid's teams at all levels and analysis of the team.

Spanish media mentioned that Albiol may replace Raul as the head coach of Real Madrid's reserve team. The return of these two former Real Madrid players is called the "Mourinho Era" version 2.0 by the outside world. The candidate for Real Madrid women's football coach is still under discussion, but this change has sparked heated discussion and is considered to be a return to some kind of Mourinho era. There is no absolute good or bad change in itself, and ultimately depends on the coaching performance of the two.

Real Madrid President Florentino has always admired Mourinho. Facing the strong Barcelona led by Guardiola, Mourinho coached Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, won the La Liga championship the next year, and signed players such as Coentrand, Varane and Shahin. Although the Champions League ended in the semi-finals, his influence was far-reaching.

Now, Alonso's success in Leverkusen is expected, and he needs to revive Real Madrid's fighting spirit and deal with Barcelona's challenges. Ronaldo replaced Raul as the core of the team back then, similar to Mbappe now; Raul's influence is comparable to Modric. Former coach Pellegrini's style also has similarities with Ancelotti.

Barcelona chairman Laporta once said Mourinho's arrival was to deal with Guardiola. Now, Alonso faces similar challenges, and he will lead Real Madrid in a new direction. How to deal with difficulties and narrow the gap with Barcelona will be the focus of future attention.
