Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Luis Enrique commented on Xabi Alonso after the 4-0 victory against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup semi-final. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Real team suffered its first defeat under the new head coach and ended its participation in the tournament. Paris Saint-Germain will play against Chelsea in the final.
Enrique said in a press conference: “Xabi Alonso doesn’t need to prove anything. He needs to go through a full preseason with the team.
I have been working at Paris Saint-Germain for two years, while he has recently joined Real, so it would be unfair to compare them.” Xabi Alonso was appointed as the head coach of the Madrid team at the beginning of June, replacing Carlo Ancelotti.
