Another person, Manu Carreno, also expressed some concerns about the team's performance. He stated, "It seems like the bad vibes are prevailing. It feels like the players aren't enjoying themselves. You just can't see a good Real Madrid." He also felt that the team's performance has been affected by the situation with Vinicius Junior, and that Alonso's relationship with the dressing room may not be as strong as it could be.

Carreno also suggested that the club may be leaning towards supporting Vinicius Junior over Alonso, stating, "If the club had to take a stance, which it isn't, they would choose Vinicius; I think they prefer the Brazilian." However, he stressed that this is not a reflection on Alonso's authority as a coach.
