Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi Alonso's clapback to Edu Aguirre after being asked about Lamine: 'I don't have...'
The surprising response Edu Aguirre received from Xabi Alonso when asked about Lamine Yamal
In preparation for the match against Osasuna at Santiago Bernabéu, Xabi Alonso attended the traditional press conference. Answering all the questions, Xabi was asked by Edu Aguirre about Lamine Yamal. When asked whether too much pressure is being put on the player, Xabi replied: "I don't have a pressure gauge."
A forceful response with which Xabi Alonso made it clear that he has no concern regarding the matter. Even so, the coach hinted at his desire to face the young Spaniard soon. Although he knows the pressure that is exerted in this sport on all footballers, Xabi has preferred to focus solely on Real Madrid.
According to Defensa Central, the coach has made important changes to the team. While the preseason showed some of them, the club's real potential remains unknown. Xabi, after shining as a Real Madrid footballer, is aware of the pressure that Madridism puts on all members of the team.
Xabi's only concern
Since last season, one of the most recurring topics among Barça fans is Lamine Yamal. Surrounded by praise, the footballer, who is only 18 years old, has been talked about a lot even during the holidays. Faced with the media pressure on the player, Edu Aguirre wanted to know Xabi's opinion on the matter.
However, the response from Real Madrid's coach was more than clear. Although Xabi always remained respectful, his concern is his footballers, not Lamine Yamal. Such forcefulness is typical of a coach who has always been known for his strong character.
Just a few hours before the match against Osasuna, Xabi is focused on getting the 3 points. After Barcelona's victory, Real Madrid must now do the same to start LaLiga on the right foot. The issue of Lamine Yamal is not a concern for Xabi.
The moment of the clash
This coming October 26 is the date of the first Clásico of this season. A match of great importance that Xabi eagerly awaits in order to face Barcelona. A match where the coach trusts he will take the victory and show that Barcelona has always been in Real Madrid's shadow.
