Within the framework of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid passed through one of the important stages in its history. The team’s new head coach, Xabi Alonso, achieved a valuable victory over Mexico’s Pachuca club in the second match of the championship. The match, which ended 3:1, saw the Madrid side forced to play almost the entire game with one man less, but they managed to finish it with willpower and intelligence.
Real Madrid did not have easy conditions in this match. From the first minutes, Real acted actively, aiming to take control of the opponent’s goal. However, after one of the team’s players received a red card and left the field, the tactical situation completely changed. This forced coach Xabi Alonso to make quick decisions and redirect the team’s actions.
— “A very important victory. We value this result because it was achieved in difficult conditions. We played almost the whole game with ten men — it’s not easy. But the team played very smart, I am pleased with this,” — expressed his feelings Xabi Alonso.
According to the coach, the red card should be a good lesson for the players. “Such situations should serve as a lesson. It’s better to concede first than to play the whole match with ten men,” — said the specialist.
He also said he would have a talk with the team’s players. In particular, he noted he would speak separately with Raul Asensio.
At the same time, even in the minority, Real Madrid players acted intelligently and with discipline; the unity and persistence in the team ensured the result. This victory increased Real Madrid’s confidence entering the playoff stage.
Undoubtedly, such determined and intelligent victories at the Club World Cup show how prepared the team is for the new season. Under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid players are aiming for even greater achievements. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
