On the eve of the match against Espanyol for LaLiga, the coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, emphasized the importance of maintaining emotional balance during the game and gave strong praise to the Brazilian forwards Vini Jr. and Rodrygo.

According to the Real Madrid coach, the impact of both is noticeable whether they start as starters or come in during the game. “It's a position where we are very well served,” he added.

Regarding Vini Jr., Alonso also commented on the player's emotional state after starting on the bench in the game against Olympique de Marseille, for the Champions League.

“Yesterday (Thursday) I realized it wasn't the right time to talk to him, but today he already had a better and more positive smile. I talked to him and did individualized work during training,” he revealed.
