Zinedine Zidane has spoken to the squad, and president Florentino Perez has echoed the sentiment, about Real Madrid leaving it late to win games, and the excessive suffering it causes isn't a good omen for the club in the long term.
According to the club's hierarchy then, the Club World Cup, in this sense, is the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to leave these collapses in concentration and dips in intensity behind.
The single-match nature of the tournament means there is no room for error in the semi-final, and perhaps, the final, so a different approach is needed.
Sergio Ramos will not always be able to bail the side out, and Perez has been surprised at how focused the squad is ahead of Thursday's match against Club America, something he picked up on after his chat with the players.
Visiting the team at the hotel and watching Zidane's training sessions with a closer eye than usual, no details have escaped the Real president's attention, and his prioritisation of this tournament has been met with an equally strong response from the rest of the club, training staff, and players.
