He also stressed the importance of not being distracted from the club’s ultimate goals.
The Merengues have not only failed to win in their last three matches, but have also struggled to convince in each of them. The media in the Spanish capital are inflamed, citing disagreements between several of their players and Alonso, with some describing the situation as “untenable”.
Alonso faced a barrage of questions over his dressing room management during his pre-match press conference, before Real Madrid look to secure their first victory in Greece against Olympiakos on Wednesday night. He insisted that we must not lose sight of the objective to be achieved.
“There are things that I didn’t like in the last three games”
“There are things that I didn’t like in the last three games,” he said.
After the defeat against Liverpool, Real Madrid failed to break through Rayo Vallecano’s defense in Vallecas, with the match ending in a 0-0 draw. Against Elche, the Merengues created several chances, but showed recurring defensive weaknesses.
“It’s a process; any change takes time. Nothing happens instantly. If we look at the last three games, there are things that I didn’t like, but if we go back a little further, there are also positives. We lacked consistency, and that’s why we had a series of bad matches. »
Real conceded a disappointing draw against Elche.
Certain phrases uttered by star players during matches were also relayed by the media. Against Rayo, Vinicius reportedly said: “ It seems like we don’t want to win », while Mbappé complained to his teammates: “ We have to press higher.” Alonso was asked if his players did not fully understand his intentions.
” No not at all. We analyzed and discussed it. What we talked about is clear, but hey, it’s football, and sometimes things work out better. These reactions reflect the emotions of the moment; I understand, because I also felt them when I was a player. »
