The Real Madrid midfielder has stated that coach Jose Mourinho is made for games like these, before the eagerly anticipated clash against Manchester United.
In perhaps, the most eagerly awaited tie of the UEFA champions League round of 16, Manchester United are playing away to Spanish champions Real Madrid.
For a person who is not even linked to the world of football, these two names of the Madrid based club and the old Trafford based outfit, are the first to come to the tongue, which has seldom spoken or talked about the beautiful game.
A real spectacle is in the waiting when the league leaders of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 travel to Madrid to take on the men in white.
Behind the men in white, is the masterful thinking of Portuguese Jose Mourinho, one of the most feared managers in the history of the game.
If los Blancos are in for a hunt, then the lads from Manchester are probably hungrier this term, as they eye a capture of all the three prestigious trophies that a single season can offer.
Behind the bearers of the prestigious red shirt, is the remarkable experience and charisma of the wily tactician from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756, who has led United to unprecedented success over the course of time period which is almost equal to a quarter of a century itself.
While people can debate on which side’s manager has more to his name, that will ultimately ensure progression to the next round of the Champions League, Real Madrid midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 certainly believes that these types of matches are made up for Mourinho
to bring his tactical awareness in action and attain a performance from his comrades.
"Mourinho is made for games like this one against United," http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 told The Times. "The way he prepares the game, the way he analyses the opponents, the way he approaches us in terms of giving us a psychological edge and extra motivation, he loves these occasions.”
"Everyone is looking forward to it because we are desperate to be in a better mood, a better spirit, after the tie."
The highly anticipated clash is due to take place on Wednesday night at Real Madrid’s home ground, Santiago Bernabeu.
