Xabi Alonsonew coach of Real MadridHe did not want to reveal when the first contacts occurred to become a white team technician but explained that he feels “what is the time” since “it fits everywhere”, including a hobby of which he already feels his illusion.
“I feel that it is the time, which is a good time. It fits all the parties. Since yesterday, sorry in the people. It is excited, visualizes, wants to believe … and that gives me a lot of energy. Then you have to prove it in the field. But it is a good time,” he said at a press conference.
“Since yesterday I already consider myself coach of Real Madrid. That energy and enthusiasm I captured it when it was formalized and today more here. The next step is to be with the players,” he said without wanting to reveal the day the agreement closed.
“It is a very exciting day. Of those who are remembered because there will only be once in the life where I can train to Real Madrid and today is the first day. I feel a lot of responsibility and energy. I return to what was my house and I feel it again.
Xabi Alonso also commented that he does not give him “vertigo” replace Carlo Ancelotti, the coach with more titles in the history of the club.
“It does not give me vertigo. He speaks of the previous stage. The demand in Madrid is maximum but it is a very beautiful challenge. We can do things that turn on people, that illustrates Madridism and have that pride of what Real Madrid is. That's what we come to,” he said.
In addition, he assured that his arrival before the Club World Cup was due to circumstances and that he takes the positive side.
“The circumstances have been given so that it happens.
On the other hand, he highlighted the influence of the coaches he has had in his career, such as Rafa Benítez, Vicente del Bosque, José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti.
“Probably the fact of being here in this chair is because of everyone's influence. I was lucky to have very good coaches. I tried to have that curiosity with them, understanding their decisions. My father was a coach, he was the greatest influence. Then you have to have your own style book and improve, be dynamic,” he said.
