Alonso wants to strike Liverpool in the spaces left behind their high press — using the pace of Vinícius and Mbappé, the vision of Güler, and the stability of Tchouaméni.
It’s a lineup built on youth and energy, founded on the idea of controlling the game through possession.

Alonso on direct free kicks: "We have several players capable of taking them, but the decision is made on the pitch. It depends on the angle and distance — there are different players who can take them."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on matches with fewer goals and more tension: "When we have the chance and see a weakness in the opponent, we need to take advantage of it to score goals. Every goal matters, and our goal is to finish as high as possible because everything can change quickly."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on Ancelotti’s comments regarding what happened with Vinicius: "It was important for me to talk about it on Wednesday, and the matter was settled then. These things can happen, but we don’t want them to be repeated. For me, it’s over."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on training at Valdebebas: "I used to do that at Bayer Leverkusen as well. I believe it’s the best way to prepare for a match, and there’s no conspiracy behind it. At Valdebebas we can control everything better and avoid giving any clues to the opponent."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on Trent: "Honestly, we haven’t talked about this. He needs to feel and experience things in his own way. His story is different — he grew up here. I remember when he first came up from the academy to train with us."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on Wirtz:
"Coming here after so many years in Germany is a big change for him. He needs to adapt, but he’s a very special player… and perhaps one of the reasons I’m here. I hope he doesn’t show that tomorrow, but I’m sure he’ll display his quality soon."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on the emotional side of the match:
"I try not to let emotions get the better of me. I don’t want them to change the way I prepare… whatever happens, happens. It’s important to stay detached emotionally so I can stay focused on what I need to do."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on set pieces:
"We’re working on improving them."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on Arbeloa’s evaluation:
"I don’t give myself a grade — grades come at the end of the season. I’m very happy with everyone, but especially with Álvaro. I’ll return the grade to him, but grades are given in June."

Alonso on Anfield and its atmosphere"Many of our players have experienced it—sometimes against them, sometimes in their favor.our players have great experience and know how to respond in charged atmospheres. The players are the ones who must play; I can’t do much from the bench."

[Madrid ball @Madridball1]

Alonso on his time at Liverpool:
"It was a very important experience. I spent five years there and learned a lot, not only about playing but also about thinking. That experience helped me get to where I am now. When you love football, you love playing for a club like that."
