Unhappy Vinicius was replaced? Alonso: Maybe it was because I changed him earlier

Hupu reported on September 21 that after defeating Espanyol 2-0 at home in the league, Real Madrid head coach Xavi Alonso attended the post-match press conference. The Spaniard also talked about multiple topics and situations about the club.

Evaluation of this game

"This is a clean and neat victory. The whole team played very seriously, performed stably and calmly. Maybe we lacked some inspiration in the offensive third zone and failed to create enough opportunities... But we played very calmly throughout the game and did not give our opponents too many opportunities to score. This victory is very important for the accumulation of confidence and continued growth of the team. Now we must turn our attention to next Tuesday's game."

"Maybe this game may be It's not that great, but we showed good control. We didn't let the opponent create a tense scene, and we also achieved a zero-stop. I like this victory. After a 2-0 lead, we had a good control of the rhythm in the second half and even had a chance to score the third goal. This is a victory that will help the team continue to accumulate confidence. Next, we will have to prepare for the game against Levante on Tuesday. "

Is the long-range shot score of Militon and Mbappe part of the tactical arrangement?

"Far from the face of intensive defense, long-range shots are one of the offensive methods that must be tried. When the opponent compresses space, we must decisively forward and kick. Militon's goal is very exciting, Mbappe's goal comes from a quick counterattack, when Vinicius attracted several defensive players, Mbappe made a smart choice. We are gradually improving, and every detail is getting better."

Bellingham's role on the court

"He appeared in the position that suits him best: an attacking midfielder who can connect the striker and the midfield. The more smooth the team can hand the ball to his feet, the more threatening our offense will be. The team has changed a lot compared to the Club World Cup. "

Do you think Vinicius's recent situation has affected his performance? He looked unhappy when he was replaced

"He was just one goal short of today. I thought it would be more helpful to replace a new player on the wing. He and Mastantono were in good shape, but what the team needed more was control at that time. Maybe I replaced him when I was in good shape...it was a little too early."

"Mastantono was not happy when he left the court, which was normal, and every player was eager for the game. I was very satisfied with Vinicius and Mastantono's performance, we needed every player - the season was long, and the team needed new strength."

Talking about Asensio's performance

"It's great that he can play at such a high level. What happened in the Club World Cup - both for him and the team - has passed because the situation is completely different from that time. Raul (Asensio) is like David (Alaba) and Franco. The chances of the game were limited before, but they all got their own time, and sometimes they just need more patience. He played very seriously and reliably today, and this state is good news for the team and himself."

Can Bellingham and Guillail coexist?

"They do have similarities in positions, but they can play at the same time, just like we tried in the Club World Cup - I have always taken this matter to heart. I don't think they can't cooperate, but in fact I think their partner's effect is quite good. Letting them play at the same time is a feasible option. As the wounded return one after another, our tactical possibilities are becoming more abundant."

Two long shots and two long shots

" Players should try long shots more, especially when facing teams with low post defense. Long shots are important to break the deadlock. Means. Espanyol shrinks the backcourt and waits for a counterattack. We made arrangements for this point, and our passing pace in the first half was faster. "

About this season, you have arranged 5 different starting lineups

"It is good to have multiple choices. It is my responsibility to make a decision. The more accurate my decisions are, the better the team will perform. The season has just begun - the fifth round of the league, and the sixth round of the Champions League, we need to maintain the flexibility and depth of the lineup. "

How much time does Mastantono need to adapt?

"I think he is the type of player we need in this position. We have stronger breakthrough ability on the left, and as long as he continues to maintain good form, he will get a chance. I think he is in good shape and is very eager to score the first goal of Real Madrid's career."

How can Mbappe be so invested on the defensive end?

"He played a slightly different role today - more like a second striker. We talked about his duties before the game, and he needed to be closer to Urco (Espanyol midfielder). This numerical advantage was particularly critical when the opponent made a long pass. Killian had a very thorough understanding of football, and today he performed well in this role."
