Breaking news from Levante-Real Madrid: Xabi Alonso, caught, is preparing 2 major surprises
The Basque coach is finalizing his team's preparations for tomorrow's important match against Levante
Ciutat de València will be the stage for an exciting match tomorrow. Levante and Real Madrid will face each other in a highly anticipated encounter. The Granotas want to pull off a surprise, while the team from the capital is looking to keep its perfect winning streak.
Real Madrid arrives in spectacular form. It has won all its official matches so far and conveys a sense of solidity that's unusual at this stage of the season. Xabi Alonso has managed to get his players to adapt quickly to his system.

The main difference compared to Ancelotti's Madrid is in the defensive organization. The team looks much more compact and applies constant pressure on its opponents. That intensity is allowing it to win the ball back in the opposition's half and create chances with ease.
Xabi Alonso will have to shake things up against Levante
Levante, despite being newly promoted, has left a good impression at the start of the league. Its squad is showing character and hasn't given up competing on equal terms at any point. Even so, Real Madrid is the clear favorite ahead of the match.
Xabi Alonso is aware that his squad offers him multiple solutions to beat Levante. The coach has a wide range of options to put together the starting eleven. He will have to use them, since he has several absences in defense.
Neither Rüdiger, nor Mendy, nor Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available. All three players are still in their recovery process and haven't been able to make the squad list. Their absence will force Xabi Alonso to adjust some pieces in defense.
2 new faces in Real Madrid to face Levante
However, beyond the defensive approach Xabi Alonso chooses, the big news comes with two key names. Endrick and Jude Bellingham are shaping up to be the coach's big surprises for the match against Levante. Both have trained normally and are ready to play a leading role.
Endrick has been sidelined for several weeks due to physical issues, but now he's back and wants to make up for lost minutes. Xabi Alonso is counting on him and it's possible that he'll let him play against Levante. His youth and boldness could be a game-changer in the second half.
The other big return is Jude Bellingham's. The Englishman came back against Espanyol after several weeks out injured and is set to start at Ciutat de València. His presence in midfield brings authority, attacking threat, and a competitive edge.
Xabi Alonso's idea is to count on both throughout the match. The decision will depend on how the game develops and how the team responds in the opening stages. In any case, Xabi is clear that both are essential pieces.
The match is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:30 p.m. The Levante fans will fill the stadium to cheer on their team in a historic clash. They will face a Real Madrid team arriving in top form, with Endrick and Jude Bellingham ready to make a difference.
