Marca: Alonso s positioning against Joan Améni is a versatile player, taking into account the position of the central defender and the midfielder

Western media "Marca" wrote an article saying that Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso is positioned as a versatile player against Joan Améni, taking into account both the central defender and the midfielder.

The Club World Cup left some questions, such as the future of Rodrigo, Sebaslos, or the roles of Vinicius and Mbappe, but also some certainty, the most obvious of which is that Joan Améni can play a key role in the Xavi Alonso system, whether it is a four-back or a three-center-back system.

In several games of the Club World Cup, Joan Aménie took on the role of scavenger, taking the ball from the backcourt under cover by Wyson and Rudiger, or playing the midfielder in the 4-3-3 formation he is more accustomed to.

Joan Armeni will be an extension of Xavi Alonso on the court. In several games, it can also be seen that the coach communicated directly with Joan Améney and made adjustments on the court. Alonso values Joan Améni's tactical wisdom, which goes beyond his skill or strength talent.

In the Club World Cup, Xavi Alonso said: "Joan Améni can be a versatile player, playing both central defenders and midfielders. We will not stick to an idea, and the richness of tactics will provide us with the choice to find solutions. He is the cornerstone of the team because of the weight he has and his characteristics. He is always making small decisions to contribute to the team. He is eager to improve and desire to become important."

For Ancelotti, although many people question his trust in Joan Améni, Joan Améni played both as a midfielder and a central defender, and he received the most criticism at the centre-back position. He was not in his best shape at that time.

Under Ancelotti, Joan Armeni ended up being one of the best players of the season. And in the Club World Cup coached by Xavi Alonso, this was confirmed. Before the Club World Cup, when playing with France, especially in the UEFA Nations League third and fourth final victory over Germany, Joan Améni had proved that he was indispensable to Deschamps and could command the national team well. Joan Armeni ended his season with injury at Real Madrid, but he made a timely return to the start of France against Germany.

Joan Améni himself was very accepting of Alonso's ideas. The players have always made it clear that the most comfortable position he feels is in the middle of the midfield, but the first thing is that he wants to play.

Joan Améni said: "To be honest, I am here to help the team. If the coach asks me to play the defender, I can't say no. Whether you have or don't have the ball, you have to be in high intensity, help the team take the ball, and now you have to participate in oppression, touch the ball and create opportunities."
