Real Madrid must learn to face difficulty, insist Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa – La Liga News
Real Madrid players, Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, have both expressed their views on their team’s need to further improve on their current performance. The players have insisted that even with Los Blancos' current position in the Spanish Primera, the
need for improvement remains.

by players and supporters alike.
Alonso and Alvaro have both expressed that Jose Mourinho’s men must prepare to preserver against tough competition, and teams that were likely to offer a considerably greater challenge to them.

"The match was open despite the fact we didn't have too much trouble. We found it somewhat difficult, but we gave a good performance overall. Real Sociedad pressurized more, especially in the second half, and we failed to score a second strike that would
have allowed us to be calmer."
On the other hand, defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282 also added his opinion. According to the 28-year old, a better performance by the Whites was required against Real Sociedad. He went on, stating that Jose Mourinho’s side had needed to ‘suffer’ for in order to manage
a victory.
The club’s website quoted Arbeloa as saying:
“You have to know how to suffer. This is a complicated venue and teams find it very hard to win here .We weren't as effective as in previous matches because Real Sociedad defended fiercely with five defenders, but we did a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. It's important to know
how to win the way we won tonight."
The win takes Real Madrid to the top of the La Liga standings, a point ahead of second place holders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, and two points ahead of former leaders, Levante.
