Successor? Spanish media: Sebalos is the "New Cross and Magic Flute" found by Alonso in Real Madrid

October 6th reported that after Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 3-1 at home, Spanish media grada3 praised Sebaslos' outstanding performance, saying that the players were "new Cross and Modric" found by Alonso in Real Madrid.

Real Madrid performed steadily, focused and full of fighting spirit throughout the game, although Villarreal also caused them some trouble. However, it all became easier thanks to a Sebalos who has gradually become a key player.

Cebalus controls the pace of the game and provides Real Madrid with balance, stability and coherence in collective tactics, which Alonso has been looking for recently. This is his second consecutive start, and he also started in the Champions League match against Almaty Keilat.

Cebalus not only performs well in possession, but also in the absence of the ball. He is in excellent physical condition, puts great pressure on his opponents, and is also very dedicated to his defensive tasks. His high concentration made Alonso trust him more until Bellingham returned to his own level.

In fact, Sebaslos is the closest player in the current lineup to Kroos and Modric. These two midfielders have become legends in world football and Real Madrid. Their departure has left a huge vacancy for the team, especially Cross, who announced his retirement after winning the Champions League in 2024.

With Ceballos, Alonso believes the team has gained more balance because of the contribution he brings on the court and his characteristics. When facing opponents who like to control the ball or can control the game from the midfield, Alonso always relies on the ace of Ceballos.
