Rumors confirmed! Éder Militao has already told Xabi Alonso: 'Coach...'

Despite the latest setbacks and rumors, it's clear that Real Madrid is experiencing a period of maximum excitement since Xabi Alonso arrived on the Bernabéu bench. The coach has managed to convey a clear plan, a solid structure, and a competitive dynamic that has elevated the team's collective performance. At this moment, Los Blancos are leading LaLiga and are in the top 8 of the Champions League.

Thanks to Xabi Alonso, several of Real Madrid's heavyweights are showing their best version. The clearest example is Tchouaméni, who has greatly improved his performance since the coaching change. However, we also can't forget Éder Militao, who has become, against all odds, the absolute leader of the white defense.

The importance of Éder Militao for Xabi Alonso

Without a doubt, Éder Militao is one of the biggest stories of the season. After overcoming a period full of physical obstacles, the Brazilian has returned at a spectacular level, dominating the box as he did in his best days. His speed, strength, and anticipation have once again made him one of the most decisive center-backs in the world.

In Valdebebas, they're truly happy with Éder Militao's return to top form. He's the ideal partner for Dean Huijsen because of his physical attributes, which perfectly complement the refined technique of the former Bournemouth player. In addition, considering that Rüdiger and Alaba aren't available, his presence is the lifeline Xabi Alonso is holding on to.

Éder Militao meets with Xabi Alonso to discuss what happened: "Coach..."

Much to the regret of many Madridists, in the last few hours a worrying piece of news has emerged with Éder Militao as the main character.  The Brazilian center-back was injured in the friendly Brazil played against Tunisia. This is a truly unexpected setback for Real Madrid that will force the Spanish coach to turn to Asencio and Huijsen as starters.

In this regard, Éder Militao has met with Xabi Alonso to discuss the extent of his injury. "Coach, I'll be out for two to three weeks", he said. Without a doubt, this is a truly worrying piece of news for Real Madrid's interests in the coming weeks.

Without Éder Militao, it will be Asencio's turn. The academy graduate needs consistency to try to convince Xabi Alonso, so he'll try to show his best version while the Brazilian recovers. However, even though the academy graduate performs well when he plays, for Real Madrid it's vital that Militao recovers 100% as soon as possible: right now, he's the best.
