Xabi Alonso on Working with Star Players

The head coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, addressed questions about working with players during a press conference. - Is it difficult to work with star players?

- They are demanding and professional. Yes, certain situations arise at times, but these very qualities are what elevate them to their level.

As a coach, you need to adapt to them. - Real Madrid is often called a players' club rather than a coaches' club. What are your thoughts on this?

- In any team, the primary focus is on the players. The important thing is their quality, attitude, and preparation. We must do everything we can to support them. - Can players challenge the coach?

- Players should be treated with respect. I don't wish to expand further on this topic. I am well aware of the atmosphere in dressing rooms and how to handle external noise.

Such situations should not distract us. The results in recent games haven't been at the level we desire, but it is essential to stay committed to the chosen path.
