The remarks from Real Madrid’s head coach following the damaging draw have upset numerous Royal fans.
Real Madrid continues to disappoint in La Liga as they only managed to secure 1 point at Girona’s stadium, and head coach Xabi Alonso has become the focus of criticism from fans.
The match in Catalunya ended in a 1-1 draw, marking Los Blancos’ third consecutive draw. This result widened the gap with chasing rivals, with Barcelona seizing the chance to take the top spot after the weekend fixtures.
After the match, Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts with the media about the team’s performance. The Spanish strategist said: “We played better in the second half. We lacked precision. But the season is still long. The standings will change many times. We still have a chance to get 3 points in the next game.”
However, these comments quickly sparked strong reactions from the Real Madrid fan community. Many believe Alonso is being too passive, lacking assertiveness in managing the team and in media interactions. They worry that this “calm” approach to disappointing results could negatively affect the players’ morale.
In fact, Real Madrid’s recent form has been a serious concern. Three consecutive draws in La Liga highlight instability, especially in finishing situations and game control. Experts suggest that if this continues, Los Blancos will struggle to stay in the title race this season.
Although Alonso emphasized the season is long and opportunities remain, fans still call on the Spanish coach to show more fighting spirit and determination. Facing pressure from results and huge fan expectations, Xabi Alonso must find ways to boost the team’s morale to avoid further negative outcomes.
The draw against Girona serves once again as a warning for Real Madrid: inconsistent form and Alonso’s match management raise serious questions about the future of the Royal Club in this La Liga season.
