Vinicius Junior Explains Lack of Goodbye to Xabi Alonso

In a press conference prior to Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich, winger Vinicius Junior addressed the absence of a farewell to former manager Xabi Alonso. He emphasized their good relationship and suggested that every coach has their unique approach, which may not always resonate with the players.

Vinicius hinted at the difficulties Alonso faced during his tenure, attributing his dismissal to challenges related to managing the egos within the squad. He also referenced the transition in management, noting that Alonso was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked last year.

Vinicius acknowledged the learning experiences he gained during difficult moments under Alonso's management, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
