Here is the complete pre match press conference of Xabi Alonso today for the La Liga match between Real Madrid and Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“We are excited to be back.”
We have a lot of room for improvement.
The ideas are being implemented slowly, slowly. Starting from Club World Cup and now in pre-season trainings, the ideas are clear, they are the same. We will get where we want to be.
Who will start, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Dani Carvajal? I am very happy to have two unreal right-backs. Both will play and compete. We will rotate. We will need both of them.
More singings? I am focused on the players we have for now. I need them to give their 100%.
I just want my players to enjoy themselves.
Barcelona and Villarreal in Miami? I agree with the club’s statement.
On the question What do you think about the huge pressure Lamine Yamal is under?
Xabi Alonso says I frankly don’t know about the pressure Lamine Yamal is under. All I know is that he is a very important player for Barcelona and Spain.
Rodrygo? During summer there is always rumours. I count on Rodrygo a 100%.
Bad refereeing decisions in favor of Barcelona vs Mallorca? It’s not up to me to speak on all the other games.
Franco Mastantuono has an INCREDIBLE left foot. He can play tomorrow.
I have always had a great relationship with the fans at the Bernabéu. I always felt the love of Madrid fans even when I was away. I am ready and I am really HAPPY to be back home.
Franco Mastantuono said his favorite player is Leo Messi? That’s normal as Franco is from Argentina and left-footed.
