Alonso Talks to Florentino: Focused on Reversing Results at Real Madrid

Xabi Alonso Faces Pressure at Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has revealed conversations with president Florentino Pérez and his players, amid growing pressure over the team’s results. The coach’s situation has become tense after a period of inconsistent results, including only one victory in the last five matches across all competitions. The 1-1 draw against Girona last Sunday has intensified the situation. On Wednesday, Real Madrid faces a crucial challenge against Athletic Club. This match comes after the title rivals, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, faced each other on Tuesday, which adds even more importance to the match.

I’ve spoken with Florentino, the conversations and the tone are positive. We want to change the results, and that’s what we’ve talked about.

Alonso has also held meetings with the squad to discuss how to improve the team’s performance, which has recorded three consecutive draws in LaLiga. The coach emphasized the need for unity and consistency in the team’s game. “What worries us, both players and coaching staff, is how we can end this streak in the league. Tomorrow we have a good opportunity,” he added.

Alonso downplayed speculation about his future and potential signings, stating that his focus is on the team’s current performance. “We are where we are in the table, in LaLiga and the Champions League. We live with the demands and criticisms, in Real Madrid and in any football club, but we know where we are. We are focused on winning matches, to be where we want to be in April or May, competing for trophies,” he concluded.
