“Xabi Alonso,” the coach of Real Madrid, answered a sensitive question regarding the tense relationship between “Vinicius Junior,” the team’s star, and some of the royal club’s fans.
Following the team’s big 5-1 victory over Real Betis in the Spanish League, “Alonso” was asked about the possibility of asking the fans to stop booing “Vinicius.”
In a press conference after the match, “Alonso” stated: “We understand such moments, and we must deal with them maturely, we are mature, and Vinicius is also mature, and he must focus on responding on the field.”
The Spanish coach added: “I am confident that the fans will applaud him again at the Bernabeu, and will continue to support and assist him, and on our part we are trying to reach the best version of him, because he is an important and essential pillar.”
Alonso also praised the level of the Brazilian winger in the Betis match, saying: “I liked his performance, and he offered a lot, he caused a card against Betis’ right-back, and he ended up being substituted.”
At the end of his speech, the Real Madrid coach confirmed that “Vinicius will be essential in the match against Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup.”
It is noteworthy that Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid next Thursday, while Barcelona will meet Atletico Madrid on the day before in the first matches of the semi-final round.
The Spanish Super Cup is being held in Jeddah.
