The loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final (3-2) has not changed the strategy of Real Madrid's leaders at all.

Despite the disappointment over the result, the Madrid club continues to believe in both coach Xabi Alonso and the current squad.


On Sunday evening, Los Blancos played a dignified match and made the most of their chances until the end, but they were unable to avoid defeat against a Barcelona that demonstrated efficiency in front of goal and greater depth on the bench.

Precisely for this reason, because the team was at the minimum required level, the club's leaders remain steadfast in their decision not to intervene in the winter transfer market.

According to the daily AS, numerous offers from various agents and clubs are expected in the coming days, but everything will be postponed until the summer.

"Everyone knows that the team needs reinforcements, but January has never been Florentino Perez's favorite period for Real Madrid," the source points out.

No transfers and no change of coach

In the high offices of the "Santiago Bernabeu" it is estimated that, despite the numerous absences due to injuries, there is no need for new approaches during the month of January.

In fact, apart from Gonzalo who has already been integrated, no other player from the academy is expected to make the step towards the first team in the coming months.

Unlike what often happens after losses in the final, the Super Cup was not the coach's "grave".

On the contrary, Xabi Alonso has emerged somewhat strengthened, having managed to present a committed and energetic team.

However, for the near term, he and his staff will be asked to find solutions to improve the physical condition of the team, which in recent weeks has shown worrying signs of fatigue.

"In Valdebebas they believe there is still time to have a good season, but this necessarily depends on improving the team's physical preparation," he concludes. AS. /Telegraph/
