DO YOU EVER FANTASIZE ABOUT HUGGING SOMEONE FAMOUS
NO SEX THOUGHTS, NO AUTOGRAPHS OR PHOTOS
JUST A BIG, GENUINE HUG THAT LASTS THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF TIME AND COMPLETES YOUR LIFE
DO YOU
Xabi Alonso: “You realize how big and how important Real Madrid is. Then you get here. All the facilities, the stadium as well, it’s fantastic. So many people going to each game. So many things are written and said during the week. Of course, I had knowledge but from the outside. But once you’re inside, you realize that it’s a very very big club.”
the current campaign: “This season the expectations are as high as possible because we are always trying to fight for each title. But especially in La Liga, it’s been a disappointing season. Of course we are in the Cup semi-final and the Champions League as well. It’s a massive competition for us.”
José Mourinho: “He asks 100% from you, and he gives 100%. Whenever you are not on top of you game, he will tell you. ‘Xabi, you are not on top of your game. You can improve.’ And that’s something that I like. As well the knowledge he has of the game, the knowledge he has of the psychological part of it. That’s where he makes the difference for me.” […] “At some stage in his career, he will return to the Premier League. I think that’s for sure; he’s already [said]. But hopefully… I think next season we will still be with him.”
Clásico UCL final: “It might happen. Why not? They have a great team; we have a very good team. But there are [other] very good teams as well. It’s not going to be easy to win a place in that Champions League final. We don’t know. It’s going to be very interesting — the last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals… looking forward to it.”
