‘Welcome back, my midfielder’
Real Madrid are stepping up preparations for the Club World Cup under new head coach Xabi Alonso — and he’s leading by example.
During Wednesday’s session, Alonso was fully involved in the drills, even donning a green training bib just like the players.
Naturally, fans had jokes ready.
“Our new signing has finally arrived!”
“Welcome back, my midfielder.”
“Honestly, I’d start Xabi in midfield even now. He’s what, just three years older than Modric?”
