Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso told the media that his side lost the game against Liverpool, where the Reds took better care of the details. Los Blancos were in great danger at Anfield, with Thibaut Courteois his man of the match, making the eighth goal.
Los Blancos were heavily criticized for their performance after the match in Spain, with icon Jorge Valdano taking the silver lining that ‘it could have been worse’. Alonso seemed to read the game differently than most people, however, explaining that he felt he was on the losing side of the small details.
“It was a game even with the game, at times, especially in the second half, those 15 minutes, where we conceded the place, where it appeared a little, these details, it came a little, the goal of the unnecessary details caused us to lose this way,” said the unnecessary goal.

Alonso has been fighting against the narrative of his real madrid against big sides, and it was announced that this defeat was different from their loss by losing to Atletico Madrid.
“But the game was there, with some key differences. There was a moment where they were really there … and there are many ways to lose all things like this.”
What went wrong with Real Madrid?
Over the course of 90 minutes, Real Madrid had just two shots on target, both coming in the first half. Despite half an hour to turn things around, Real Madrid could not put Liverpool under pressure.
“It was difficult for us to enter the final third. They were pulling deep, and in the box, it was difficult to create danger, but it was a game that requires hard work, and it came down to the details. In the end, it worked.”
“We couldn’t break up with their last line of defense to create clear chances in the box. Fede was in charge of knocking, and today we tried to combine several.”
Alonso refutes the idea that the counteois kept the real madrid in it
The idea that Liverpool is more prominent than Alonso that he was admitted was put in the manager of the real MADRID, with one question asking if it was not the intervention of the Coredoois that prevented the suffering that Los Blancos suffered excessively.
“For me, the most important thing is that we have to learn. In those moments when they are pressing, we have to hold on and not go wrong.”
Choosing the head of Xabi Alonso
Alonso was chosen to repeat the line he used in the clasico victory with Barcelona, but he would not announce that it is his best XI.
“These are the decisions we make, and the players are in good shape. It’s November. We will have the desired section. They were working well today.”
Eduardo Camavinga started on the right side of the Midfield, alternating with Arda Guler, but the Frenchman struggled to have the same impact as he did against Barcelona.
🗣️ “I hope the fans can forgive him [@TrentAA] In time, he can finally come back and he will honor him with all the paintings he won. “

“Fourth player. We thought Arda could cut inside, stretch out. Then we changed our minds, because Arda had a good touch inside the game.”
“We have players who can play in different positions: camavinga, guler, valverde … it depends, the form of the player; these are the options we have in the team.”
