(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH XABI ALONSO SAYING: “We didn't score goals in Liverpool and in Vallecas. It's not just about Kylian, it's down to the whole team. When we concede less goals, it is not only the defenders, it is the whole team. And when we don't score, we have to look for alternatives. It shouldn't just be the striker, it could be the wingers or the second-line midfielders from set pieces. We also have to look for other alternatives, the goals will come back. I have no doubt about that.” 18. ALONSO DURING PRESS CONFERENCE 19. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH XABI ALONSO SAYING: “We need everyone. All players will be able to play, everyone will have their moment because these are demanding schedules. We have demanding matches and we need to be fresh both physically and mentally, as well as on a day-to-day basis, so that they feel involved and feel that they have to be prepared and important. We believe that.” 20. ALONSO DURING PRESS CONFERENCE 21. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH XABI ALONSO SAYING: “We know where we are and we know the demands of Real Madrid and everything that can happen. Therefore, we take it very normally, with the demands we impose on ourselves after every match, both when it goes well and when it goes badly. And we mustn't give it more weight than necessary.” 22. ALONSO DURING PRESS CONFERENCE 23. ALONSO LEAVING STORY: Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso was confident on Saturday (November 22) about his squad’s capacity to score more goals after two matches goalless. Real Madrid were held to goalless draws away at Rayo Vallecano and Liverpool before the international break. The result moved Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid to 31 points from 12 games, five points clear of second-placed Villarreal. Top rival Barcelona closed the gap on their rivals, moving up to 28 points and pulling two clear of third-placed Villarreal. LaLiga top scorer Kylian Mbappe, who has netted 13 league goals, has been under the spotlight. “It's not just about Kylian, it's down to the whole team,” Alonso told reporters defending his French forward.
