Former Real Madrid players speak out. Luis Figo, Toni Kroos and Iker Casillas were questioned about the club’s crisis. Concerning the goalkeeper, who appeared during an event organized by Movistar+ before the Clasico, he was brief regarding the altercation between Aurélien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde. “Everything has a solution, we can fix this. It has already happened in our time, but the difference is that we are on the eve of a Clásico. This is a problem that must be resolved internally, even if things can quickly get out of hand at a club like Real Madrid. What is infuriating and frustrating is that a team like Real Madrid has not won any titles.

On the other hand, his opinion on the next Madrid coach got people talking. “I would sign Xabi Alonso again for Real Madrid”he declared before criticizing Florentino Pérez for having dismissed a coach who “led Leverkusen to success, thanks to his youth, and who is capable of coaching Real Madrid.” Casillas added: “I don’t care if anyone asks me about Mourinho. The ideal coach was Xabi Alonso; he was perfect, constant and sure of himself. In football, you never know. Zidane replaced Benítez and it ended up working well. » The message got through.
