No need for a lot of talk. Xabi Alonso was never going to come in, and the team starts banging in three weeks. Maresca had the same struggle in pre-season. It's normal for coaches like that.
I personally don't expect us to play like Alonso wants us to until around late September, early October. It will take a couple of months in my opinion.
These things aren't plug and play, and on top of that, we are missing a lot of starting players. We will have a good season. I'm very sure.
Just relax. Ancelotti lost all his season 1 pre-season games at Chelsea and still won the league that season.

The Bible was written on three continents:
- Europe
- Asia
- Africa
In three languages:
- Hebrew
- Aramaic
- Greek
By over 40 different men:
- Kings
- Prophets
- Fishermen
- A doctor
Yet it tells one unified story:
- Creation
- Fall
- Redemption
- Christ
God is incredible.
