Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts with journalists after a convincing 4-1 away victory against Levante in the 6th round of La Liga. According to him, the team is currently in the stage of restructuring and improving not only the results, but also the style of play.
- We thought only about victory until the end of this game. Now let's turn our attention to the derby. Now the team is in the process of development. If we calculate accurately, it's only 51 days since we started working, and there's still a long road ahead. We will continue to create a solid foundation for competing against strong opponents in the Champions League, La Liga, and the national cup," said Alonso.
The coach emphasized that many players in the team have started to feel like an integral part of an important process, and this is of great importance. At the same time, there are still aspects that need improvement.
- The most important thing is that we are on the right track now. Both in the results and in the style of play. This is only the beginning. "There's a lot of work ahead," he added.
Alonso also spoke about the versatility of the players in his team:
- When you have high-quality players, the work becomes much easier. With a little practice, they will understand the idea and be able to move in different positions. This is a great convenience for the coach," said the Madrid coach.
He also emphasized the need to give some players a break:
"We should have given Militao and Carvajal a break today." The players who entered the field fully utilized their capabilities and showed excellent play. But it's too early to be overjoyed. We have a derby ahead of us, and all our thoughts are focused on this game," concluded Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid's victory secured crucial points for the team and encouraged them to take a more confident step towards the championship. Now, all attention is focused on how well the team is preparing for El Clásico.
