Jude Bellingham is determined to become indispensable for Real Madrid in the coming months — and Xabi Alonso seems ready to help him do just that. According to OK Diario, the manager plans to make Bellingham a regular starter immediately after the international break, deploying him as a playmaker to reshape the team’s midfield dynamics.
The tactical plan would see Arda Güler move to the right wing or be given some rest, while Mastantuono could slot into the lineup when rotation is needed. The midfield pivot would be formed by Tchouaméni and Ceballos, with Valverde continuing at right-back until Dani Carvajal returns from injury. Once the captain is available, Mastantuono is expected to be the player sacrificed from the starting eleven.
This adjustment underlines Alonso’s vision of a more aggressive, creative midfield — one where Bellingham’s influence could soon become essential.
