If there is something that bothers me even more than Real Madrid’s terrible sporting streak, it is that feeling that there is an evil and mysterious force that appears from behind the curtain to prevent Xabi Alonso from carrying out his ideas. The … Bad sports results will be left behind and the times of wine and roses will return, it has been happening like this since 1902, but for a coach to slip the idea that something is preventing him from freely exercising his job and that is why the results are not coming seems quite petty to me. Although I have to admit that, after insisting so much, the idea has finally caught on: all you had to do was see the player from Tolosa leaving the Bernabéu like a hero, cheered on by the fans, after losing to City: “We are with you!”… And who are you not with? With the players? With the president?
It was Alonso himself who fed, I don’t know if consciously or not, this diffuse conspiracy theory when, asked about the urological comparison of his good friend Guardiola (“let him pee with his own”), he responded the following: “He knows well what he’s saying.” And I wonder: What evanescent ghostly apparition is putting a damper on the complex football network designed by this man? Sleepy Hollow? Freddy Krueger? Bitelchus? Or are they all three at the same time? I believe that Xabi is no longer thinking so much about the games against Alavés, Talavera and Sevilla but rather about how to protect his image as an impermeable coach in the face of future hires: “If I didn’t work there it was because someone prevented me from doing so.” Someone. Or someone.
Along with Julio Iglesias and Amancio Ortega, Real Madrid is structuring Spain and it is one of the few things that works. Everything could go wrong for us but we will always have the burning nails of the author of ‘Hey’, the owner of Zara and the fifteen-time European champion to be able to hold on to. For this reason, and in addition to the childish excuse of the untraceable little ghost, I find the current state of alienation of a part of the merengue fans so depressing. Although it may seem incredible, with the team being real foxes and breaking negative records, Xabier Alonso is at his highest popularity rating, and that worries me much more than losing 1-2 to City. Julio forgot to live so much because he wanted to be first in everything, but when Real Madrid gets used to losing he will have started to die a little.
