“The team is playing nothing”
However, as the weeks progress, the Spanish vice-champion is showing more and more difficulties, especially recently, raising concerns around the management of Xabi Alonso.
This situation does not fail to attract the attention of observers. Javi Herraez, journalist for the Cadena Serhas also drawn up a comparison between the Basque and Rafael Benitez, author of an express stint on the Merengue bench between 2015 and 2016.
“Xabi Alonso is going through a delicate moment, I don’t see a good connection with the players. We saw it at Anfield, Vallecas and Elche, I have the feeling that the team is playing nothing. Even he doesn’t believe in what he’s doing. Xabi Alonso is starting to look like Rafa Benitez »he declared on Spanish radio.
