Western media: After the 0-0 draw, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso "played Tai Chi" throughout the interview, and the interview was watertight

Alonso "played Tai Chi" throughout the game: the post-match interview was spotless.

According to the "Daily Sports" report, after Real Madrid drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano in an away game, Alonso attended the press conference. Faced with repeated questions from reporters, he always avoided the important points, answered questions that were not asked, and almost did not respond directly to any substantive questions. It can be called a "textbook-style" vague response.

After this campaign, Real Madrid has failed to score in two consecutive games - they lost 0-1 to Liverpool at Anfield in the last round of the Champions League, and were held to a tenacious draw at Vallecas this round. Although they had the upper hand in the number of shots in the game, the Whites failed to score against the in-form Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper Battaglia. What is even more worrying is that the opponent also created many scoring opportunities, and the overall game showed a stalemate. For Real Madrid, who are aiming to compete for the championship, this "even match" is the worst news - after all, they already regard themselves as a higher level existence. "No penalty, no party", the reality is so cruel.

However, when reporters tried to guide Alonso to analyze the team's problems in depth, he always took a detour.

Q: Is Real Madrid playing too dull?

Answer: "We have prepared for a difficult game. Whether it is this year or in the past, it has never been easy to come to Vallecas (implying that other coaches have also suffered here). The pace of the game here has always been fast, and today is no exception."

Q: After the defeat at Anfield, we failed to win again. Perhaps the previous victory over Barcelona gave everyone a false impression?

Answer: "After Anfield, today we wanted to bring the game into the rhythm we wanted, but it is not easy. In the second half, any result can happen."

His only clear statement was: "I don't think this is a matter of emotional ups and downs. What we are pursuing is stability. The league is played game by game, and we just couldn't win today."

Question: Are you more concerned about the result or the process of the game?

Answer: "What I care about is how to continue to improve and conduct constructive self-reflection. We know our position and goals. It is only November and the season is still very long. We must maintain self-requirements and be calm and restrained at the same time."

He summed up the audience with an ambiguous sentence: "We did not win all the confrontations, but we did not lose them all. The game was very close."

He also briefly commented on his opponent: "Vallecano is good at switching offenses, but our defense withstood the pressure in the second half. Unfortunately, we failed to break the balance on the offensive end."

In addition, words such as "Both sides made a lot of transitions" and "We must maintain balance in good times and bad. The season is long, and we must prepare at the highest standards and adapt to it." and other words frequently appeared. When asked why Endrick and Gonzalo didn't even warm up, he responded lightly: "There were already other forwards on the court at that time."

"Daily Sports" said that the rest will not be described in detail - because there is really nothing worth recording.
