Leverkusen chief criticises Real Madrid over Xabi Alonso's situation

The former Real Madrid midfielder began his managerial tenure with significant momentum, yet a sharp dip in form has sparked serious questions regarding his position. While certain players publicly backed Alonso following a defeat to Manchester City, speculation suggests he lacks full squad support.

Fernando Carro, who oversaw Alonso’s success at Leverkusen, contrasted the German environment with Madrid’s. Carro stated that while Alonso is immensely talented, the contexts differ vastly. He implied that if a president views a coach as a "necessary evil" and leaves him politically isolated to bear criticism, it creates a difficult situation, unlike Leverkusen’s unified approach.

Carro also highlighted their enduring bond, noting that he spent time in Madrid recently and that Alonso’s family has visited him. Describing their relationship as "like a family," Carro confirmed they maintain constant contact and mutual appreciation, closely following each other's matches despite the challenging professional circumstances Alonso currently faces.
