On the eve of the match against Elche in La Liga, Xabi Alonso stopped at a press conference to answer all questions, including the Mbappé dependence which is actively developing within Real Madrid this season. With 18 goals in all competitions, the French striker carries the majority of Madrid’s finishing on his shoulders this year. And when he doesn’t score, all of Real Madrid suffers in finding emergency solutions.
“We analyzed the situation and we didn’t manage to score. It’s not just Kylian’s problem, it’s a team problem. We must find other solutions. We also need to work on set pieces… The goals will come back, that’s for sure. All away matches are demanding. After working with them for two and a half hours, explaining who we are and what we want, and also understanding what we will need, both football-wise and mentally, tomorrow will be the time to prove it.”. No Mbappé, no party? It’s up to the Merengues to deny this impression.
