Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso exchanged views with journalists on the eve of the crucial Champions League match against Liverpool. He emphasized that the team shouldn't just sit defensively in this match; on the contrary, they should be able to control the game and speak their mind.
"We simply can't step back and wait. We must immediately take the initiative, show courage and character. The Champions League is a testing ground, where every minute is important. We need to take concrete steps to advance to the next stage," Alonso said at a press conference.
The coach also commented on the opponent: "Someone says Liverpool isn't playing well right now." However, it's important to remember that similar opinions existed about PSG last season, but they later made their mark on the European stage. Big teams never give up quickly."
According to Alonso, Real Madrid players need to be prepared not only technically but also mentally. Liverpool's atmosphere at Anfield is well-known throughout Europe, where every team feels the pressure. "We need to demonstrate our game even in such conditions," he said.
For information, the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid kicks off at 1:00 AM Tashkent time on the night of November 4th to 5th at Anfield Stadium. Fans are expecting this evening as one of the most exciting matches in Europe.
