Yes Xabi Alonso Player was an consummated master of the pass, the Xabi Alonso Coach is dribbling. A press conference was enough in Valdebebas, the first, so that fans of the Real Madrid They will verify it. And, also, the media that cover (cover) white news. Donostiarra was a bone that raffled all thorny questions. He answered them all, but none of them gave an answer, an apparent paradox with which he eluded to be released by stepping on a puddle. There will be time, a priori at least three seasonsto do it.

Actually, the question had many possible different answers, because more than a year ago that Xabi Alonso knew that Real Madrid propelled him. And that, as Florentino Pérez said, his arrival in the future was little less than evident since in 2018 he directed the Infant Blanco. At first he dodged the issue with an obvious: “This is something that has to work in two directions: that Madrid loves you and then, that you want. Normally, the second usually happens”. Then, to the direct question, he grabbed indisimulantly and laughs at formality: “What day I find out? Surely yesterday, when The statement already came out… that's when I fall as a speton, right? “
Xabi Alonso gave his opinion to the club about Modric in recent weeks: he preferred to continue one more year. The club's decision, however, was already taken. “Seeing the other day the farewell, so exciting and felt, makes you proud of what the club is, as of what has been Modric. I have been with him for a while and I will be lucky enough to train him in the Club World Cup. I will try to enjoy it, it will be a privilege,”he just answered about Croatian.
Perhaps it was the most understandable omission of all, because you may want to wait to work with the workforce to outline your drawing. Be that as it may, Xabi Alonso did not want to wet about whether he will repeat the scheme of three centrals and two lanes with which he touched the glory in Leverkusen or bet on a line of four defenders. “Football, today, asks you to be flexible and dynamic. Knowing how to move pieces before and during the game. Of course I have an idea of how we want to play, but to the fixed photo of the system can sometimes change towards something more dynamic”. More of the same when asked if he opted for two or three strikers: “Football is dynamic. Two can be three, three can be two …”.
There were media that, in recent weeks, reported that the signing of Dean Huijsen was 'Club', for Florentino Pérez's desire to Spanishize the workforce, while Xabi Alonso was more in favor of other profiles to reinforce the defense. So the technician was asked about whether the hiring was agreed or not. And he did not make it clear, protected that he was only a coach since this Sunday: “Since I am, yesterday, we have talked about things. And obviously things are agreed, spoken. There are things that touch me and others that do not”.

Any possible answer was going to have morbidity. Do not choose Carlo Ancelotti, whom he praised, had it. Opply by José Mourinho, even more. Pep Guardiola's option was directly an earthquake. “Everyone has helped me a lot. I was lucky to have very good coaches and tried to have that curiosity and proximity to them. With everyone I have a good relationship and maintain contact”he said at the beginning, until in the middle of the answer he found the only name that was not going to generate repercussions: “My father was a coach and, probably, my greatest influence”.
It is no longer a secret that Rodrygo thinks about leaving Real Madrid this summer, absent in the last four league games without a medical part that justifies it. Alonso said about him that “We will need”an answer with trap, because it has been able to refer exclusively to the Club World Cup. He did not limit the need. “He is a spectacular player, I will not discover that, and it is Real Madrid. I will talk to all the players, because they deserve that conversation, because we need it and because we have to know ourselves”he added.

Alonso came to say something obvious and that nobody argues, the need to make signings, but eluded referring to what his demands or positions that he believed should be improved. “Since I am Real Madrid coach, yesterday, I want to have this communication with the club to agree how we can improve. The template is very good, I want to start with them, right now I do not arrive with demands,”. Xabi Alonso is already in Madrid. Your answers have not yet arrived.
