Real Madrid: Thierry Henry shares his view on Xabi Alonso | OneFootball

Xabi Alonso

Thierry Henry spoke out about Real Madrid, focusing mainly on the case of Xabi Alonso after Los Blancos’ defeat to Manchester City.

With Real Madrid having lost to Manchester City (1-2) this Wednesday in the Champions League, Xabi Alonso is under pressure. CBS Sports pundit Thierry Henry says he can’t make sense of the Spanish coach’s precarious situation at the helm of the Merengues.

"I don’t know what the club’s management wants to do. I already find it ridiculous that a coach is on the hot seat after only six months. Personally, I don’t agree with it. But you also know that at a club like Real Madrid or Barcelona, you can wake up and suddenly find yourself at risk because things can change so quickly. I don’t think the club should be questioning him. When you have a coach in place, you try to see what he can bring. (...) In Madrid, it’s more about management than coaching. I don’t think things should work this way, but that’s how it is at Madrid," analyzed the former Arsenal striker.
