May 28th News Recently, Leverkusen player Alex Garcia talked about his future and Ha Alonso's coaching style in an interview with Sel Radio's "ElLarguero".

Where is he disappointed for not being selected for the Spanish national team roster? "There is a little bit, I won't deny it. I'd love to play in the final stage of the UEFA League. Now I can only watch the game at home and cheer for the team. I think I've been drafted every time before, so I feel like I'm part of the team."

If I had known that I would only work with Alonso for one season in Leverkusen, would he change his decision? "Maybe I would still make the same choice, it's a season I really enjoyed. I changed the club years later, and playing with these high-level players was a great experience . "

"He is very special to me as a coach. After all, we play in the same position and there are many similarities in the game. Everyone knows what kind of coach he is, and now he will face a new challenge. This is a deserved opportunity for him, and he is fully capable of dealing with it."

Regarding the tactical system that Alonso may adopt in Real Madrid. "To be honest, I talked to him before the end of the season, and he thinks this is not very certain. In the end, the 523 formation performed well in Leverkusen, but we also need to consider the characteristics of Real Madrid players and see if this system is suitable for them."

Alonso looks in daily life

"He's very approachable to me. Since he has won many championships, there's a special feeling between him and the players. But when it comes to being severe, he also criticizes it harshly."

"He doesn't like to joke, and he thinks it's working time in training. After all, he used to be a player and knows how to manage the locker room. As for punctuality, there were important players in our team who were late and put on the bench."

"But the culture of each club is different, I don't know if Real Madrid has such strict regulations. If Mbappe or Vinicius is late, I don't know what he would do, but certainly There will be corresponding punishment."

If the players do not press according to Alonso's requirements, what will happen?

"If Mbappe was lazy and ran a few less steps, I don't know what he would do, but he will definitely raise it after the game. He hopes that all players will actively participate in the defense. From the conversation with him, I know that he wants offensive players to take on certain defensive responsibilities, at least to meet the minimum requirements so that the defender can regain the ball more easily."

If Alonso invites him to join Real Madrid, then we have to have a good chat. It was him who called me to join Leverkusen, which says it all."
