Last night, Wednesday, July 9, Real Madrid lived a nightmarish evening against PSG (0-4) in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. Completely outdated, the Xabi Alonso team never existed against a Paris on fire at Metlife Stadium. But despite this heavy defeat, the Merengue locker room as his opponents continue to support the Basque technician. Arrived only a few weeks ago, Xabi Alonso went through his first difficult period at the head of Real Madrid. Lack of automatisms, defensive errors, and inability to compete in the middle, the gaps were glaring. The first half was one-way.
However, Luis Enrique, still as classy, wanted to recall that the comparison was unfair: “These are two very different projects. Mine has lasted for two seasons. Xabi only run six games. It takes time. He has largely demonstrated his qualities elsewhere. ” A message of elegance, but also of lucidity. And in a football where everything accelerates, time could be the true ally of Alonso. Provided that the locker room and management continue to support him as after this New York slap. Real Madrid has started a new cycle with Xabi Alonso, you will have to be patient, even if at Casa Blanca, you are never too much.
