The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international claimed that Real Madrid are fully aware of the situation at their hands and are ready to
counteract Barcelona's threat in Sunday's Clasico.
Real Madrid travel to the Camp Nou with their full squad, trailing current La Liga leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, by eight points. With the chance of La Blaugrana’s lead increasing to 11 points after just seven match days, Los Blancos find themselves in a precarious
condition.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 took out time to reflect on the situation, claiming that Jose Mourinho’s men are fully knowledgeable about the task at hand and have decided on the details for the much anticipated fixture.
Continuing on the topic, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Real Sociedad player stated that Los Blancos need to take points off their arch-rivals in El Clasico, and believes they have enough fuel in the tank to carry their through. He pointed towards their Spanish
Super Cup meetings to support his statement.
“We know the style and approach we have to implement in these kind of games,” http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 told ESPN.
“The points taken from them in direct contests are very important. We saw what happened in the Super Cup. Sometimes you can do better or worse, but you have to be determined with your ideas.”
Alonso also took out time to talk about his relationship with Jose Mourinho, claiming that he gets along with the Special one. He shared that the Portuguese tactician makes him feel like an important player, whilst adding that they have similar footballing
ideas.
“I have a very good relationship with the Coach, I feel like an important player in the team. I know he sees football and we share many things. I feel motivated to work with him and very comfortable.”
The two-time European champions acknowledged that Real Madrid have had a less than ideal start to 2012/13 La Liga season, admitting the responsibilities for their poor form. However, Alonso added that Galacticos v2.0 will do their best to turn around the
situation in the coming fixtures.
“We are aware of the bad start we have had, and we are responsible for reversing the situation so that we are fighting for the titles we want at the end of the season.”
