Makalele: Alonso needs time for Real

The former midfielder of Madrid's "Real" team, Claude Makalele, shared his thoughts on the initial results achieved under the leadership of the new head coach Xabi Alonso. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the "Real" team reached the semifinals of the World Club Championship and will play against the "PSG" team at this stage. Makalele emphasized that Madrid will always remain Madrid, and this process will develop gradually.

Xabi Alonso needs time to manage the team, and he should be given the opportunity to work for about one or two years. The specialist noted that the team's composition is very strong.

Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach of the team. Ancelotti left to manage the Brazil national team.

In the past two years in Germany, Alonso led "Bayer" Leverkusen to victory in the Bundesliga, the German Cup, and to the final of the Europa League. The match between "Real" and "PSG" will take place on July 9.

The meeting will start at 22:00 Moscow time.
