European Real Madrid week has not been good. On the trip last Tuesday on the lawn of Arsenal, the partners of Kylian Mbappé underwent a rout for their quarter -first leg of the Champions League. A result which was not necessarily welcomed in Madrid but also on the side of Leverkusen.
And for good reason since for long months, it is the name of Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer, who returns with insistence when it comes to guess who will be the successor of Carlo Ancelotti. In comments relayed on Saturday by MarcaFernando Carro spoke of his coach. The Spanish president of the German club said: “I would have preferred a wide victory for Real Madrid and a resolution of the coach problem. »»
The manager explained why: “In football, it is normal that when a club like Real Madrid loses 3-0 against Arsenal in the quarter-finals, rumors circulate. It is understandable, and frankly, I would have preferred to avoid all these speculations and attend a dominant performance of Real Madrid. »»
Bayer observes Real closely
Last summer, the possibility of seeing Xabi Alonso landing at Real had been mentioned on numerous occasions but the Spanish coach had chosen to stay with Bayer to live a Champions League campaign with his team, victorious of the first Bundesliga in his history last season.
But the current season of Real Madrid has revived speculation. Even if Carlo Ancelotti is under contract until 2026, an end of the seasonless season in C1 or in Liga could have consequences. In Bayer, we observe all this with a certain fear.
