“I didn’t make a mistake with Alonso,” Florentino responded harshly to the critics. Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, reacted strongly to the growing skepticism surrounding the appointment of Habil Alonso as coach. He said that he had no doubts about the correctness of his decision. In his opinion, all the current problems were due to a lack of proper pre-season training. “It was a matter of circumstances, not a mistake. We simply didn’t conduct proper training sessions, and this naturally affected our opening matches,” said Perez. With a tight schedule, the players didn’t have time to adapt to the new tactical requirements and gain the necessary fitness levels. Despite the imperfect start to the season, the club’s management continues to support the Spanish coach fully. Perez believes that once the team gets through this adaptation period and enters a working rhythm, Alonso’s philosophy will begin to yield stable results. The management is betting on a long-term project, with a deep understanding of the club’s values by the coach.
