Madrid's Real believes that former head coach Xabi Alonso left the team in poor condition in terms of its physical preparation.
The club believes that the Spanish specialist "suffocated" the team in this regard, as reported by Mundo Deportivo citing Cadena Ser.
It is emphasized that Álvaro Arbeloa, who replaced Alonso, pays more attention to the players' physical condition, their motivation, and strengthening team spirit. At the same time, the new coach of Real does not attach as much importance to tactics.
Alonso was appointed head coach of the "whites" last summer. On January 12, the "royal club" announced the termination of cooperation with the Spanish specialist.
