With the Spanish champions only managing to get a single point out of the available six, Alonso believes there are a few things which need to be corrected.
Real Madrid started their Spanish La Liga title defence on 19th of August, as they faced Valencia in their very first La Liga game.
The 1-1 draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 was not at all a bad result, as they are a tough opposition to face in La Liga.
However, Madrid faced Getafe in their second La Liga fixture and all the Madrid fans were expecting their team to win.
However, Los Blancos lost the game 2-1 away from home, and all the fans were left in a shock as Madrid are currently 15th in the Spanish La Liga table.
On the other hand, Barcelona have won both their La Liga fixtures, as they are trying to snatch back the Spanish La Liga title which Real Madrid snatched away from them last season.
Moreover, Real Madrid also faced Barcelona in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana.
Madrid were expected to give La Blaugrana a hard time in the game; however, the Catalan giants were on their toes throughout the fixture and managed to win the game 3-2 at the Nou Camp.
Now, the second leg is expected to take place on 29th of August, and since it is going to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu, a lot of anticipation is attached to the fixture.
While speaking about Madrid’s performance, midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 said that such things happen in football, but he is expecting his side to bounce back.
While speaking about Real Madrid and their recent performances, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 stated:
“We have failed to close out the game. Following up on having equalised, they went on a counter to score the second goal.”
“It’s a very unexpected step back, but you have to change the dynamic as soon as possible. The feelings and the dynamic of the results and the play must be replaced, but little by little.”
“Things are missing, this can happen in football, but it is clear that things need to be corrected.”
Real Madrid will now be facing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the second leg of the Supercopa de Espana on 29th of August.
