The head coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, shared his impressions after the victory in the match of the 2nd round of the Spanish Championship against Mallorca (2:1).
Álvaro Carreras, Getty Images“We started the game poorly, but reacted well. We weren’t as tight in pressing in the opponent’s half as we were before, and we need to analyze and correct this. We must continue our pressing, but the confidence of the team and the players is growing, and that is important to me. Starting with 9 points out of 9 possible is good, and we are satisfied.
Álvaro Carreras? I have been following him and was very happy that he joined us. He already knows the club a bit, and I expected him to adapt well, but he has been remarkable. He almost does everything right, is very focused throughout the match, and is a very good addition for both the present and the future,” Alonso quoted AS.
