Regarding Alonso’s tactics, Klinsmann was not sure that the former Bayer Leverkusen coach would be able to make Mbappe and Vinicius more diligent in helping defense.
“Only the team that has Messi can survive with 10 players. Real Madrid try to make Mbappe and Vinicius come down to help defense. Are I sure Alonso will succeed? No,” Klinsmann told Marca.
“They are two personalities that must be managed by Xabi and I am sure the team will be able to compensate for everything to get the best of them. At PSG, in two years with Neymar, Mbapppe, and Messi, it didn’t work.”
“It will be difficult for Xabi to make them survive more often,” he said.
