The Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, has answered various questions, including how it plans to use star strikers Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior. The new coach expressed his enthusiasm for the available attack options.
“It is a privilege to have that caliber players,” Alonso said. “Not only Kylian or Vinicius, but many others. They are key players, make a difference, and we have to get the most out. I have ideas. There is still time before meeting with them. But for me, it is very important to have a clear communication about what we want. They are first level players, and that is the task that they have entrusted to me.”
When asked about his attack philosophy, Alonso emphasized the importance of tactical flexibility: «Soccer is dynamic. I want us to read the game and that players play where they feel more comfortable, where they can better show their physical, tactical and mental attributes … the good thing is to have great players. Then it is my problem, ”he joked.
The 43 -year -old also addressed the march of Luka Modric and the arrival of the young Central Dean Huijsen: “These issues are discussed and remembered. Some are mine and others not, but it will be so. Now I am officially working to make decisions and assume responsibility.”
When asked if he had talked to Rodrygo Goes, Alonso praised effusively to the Brazilian striker. «Rodrygo is a Real Madrid player, and I will talk to all those who belong to Real Madrid. They deserve it, and we need it. Rodrygo is a spectacular player; We will need it ».
