“Real” head coach Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts ahead of the upcoming La Liga match against “Valencia.” “There might be some rotation in the squad, but this is not about the Champions League – it’s based on preparing for the game against ‘Valencia’.
In the Champions League, if you drop points, you can make up for them, but in La Liga there is no such opportunity – it’s a real marathon. Right now, we are in good form and we don’t want to lose momentum.
I am thinking about the matches against ‘Valencia’ and ‘Rayo Vallecano’. We want to finish this stage successfully.
Last season, ‘Valencia’ won at the ‘Santiago Bernabeu’. We must not relax and must respect our opponent.
Corberán is a coach who prepares his teams very well. ‘Valencia’ has quality players and this match will require our maximum focus.
It’s very easy to lose momentum after a big win. We want to make sure that does not happen,” Alonso said at the press conference.
The “Real” – “Valencia” match will kick off on November 1 at 23:00 Moscow time.
