The coach of Madrid's "Real" team was asked about the recent comments made by Jürgen Klopp and Josep Guardiola regarding the Club World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The former "Liverpool" coach from Germany has harshly criticized the new tournament format, while the Spanish coach indicated that he partially supports "Manchester City's" stance. Alonso said at the press conference: “Klopp and Guardiola criticized the tournament, but that is not my opinion.
Right now, we are not thinking much about medium and long-term prospects. We don't have time for that; all our focus is on the Club World Cup.” Today at 22:00, the match between "Real" and "Juventus" will kick off in the 1/8 finals of the Club World Cup.
This game is highly anticipated, and both teams will take to the field to win. The tournament format and the competition within it are provoking various opinions among football fans.
For this reason, the coaches' opinions are important to study.
