Khaberni - Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, commented on the anger of his Brazilian star, Vinicius Junior, when he was substituted during the summit between "El Real" and Barcelona, as part of the tenth round of the Spanish League.
Xabi Alonso said in the post-match press conference in which Real defeated Barcelona 2-1: "The team was very excited, we were talking about the importance of the match, not just for the three points, I am very happy with the players, they needed that feeling of being able to win a big game, and their enthusiasm was great."
Alonso added about Vinicius's anger: "He left a lot of positives in the game, what happened? We will talk about that later on, of course, but we do not want to overlook the most important thing, an important victory, deserved even if it was by a small margin, we had opportunities, and a penalty, we regained that feeling of competitiveness as a team in big matches."
He continued: "Eduardo, God, and Arda are capable of playing in different positions, today we needed to control the midfield and try to overcome Barcelona's pressure, and I think we succeeded in doing that, the midfield quartet performed remarkably, Eduardo had a beautiful match."
And he added: "We saw God with a great level against Juventus and today even in Getafe, we knew before the last international break that he would start, he needed a few minutes to get started, and that is what happened, and it was better than we expected after the international break. He is a player who really takes advantage of situations, and transfers energy, which is why he gave great matches."
Real Madrid coach concluded: "There is no doubt that the matter is not just about the three points, it has an additional importance, we are still in October, and it is very early, and we need to make a great effort, but today we wanted to feel good, and that is what happened?".
