Xabi Alonso spoke to the media after Real Madrid\u2019s 3-0 win over Real Oviedo on Sunday. Kylian Mbappe scored twice in a great performance, and Alonso talked about his physicality. He said: \u201cHe\u2019s gained four kilos back. He had lost four at the World Championships. He looks good; I love watching him do those laps. When we manage to maintain those distances, everyone closer to each other, we find each other. He did very well today, and the other day too. We\u2019re still looking at what to correct, but the feeling is good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI analyze the victory from the perspective of the game. Oviedo was closed. In the second half, we fell off a bit because Oviedo stepped up. We made some steals from our defense, we ran things through. But it was a very serious, complete game. With and without the ball. We played as a team. And Vini came in very well for those two goals that calmed us down. There will be games for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Carva would like to return. It\u2019s the manager\u2019s decision. I\u2019m happy he\u2019s feeling better, and he needs more time. He\u2019s played Carva-style, making sense of everything, very stable. I hope he goes, and if not, he\u2019ll return.\u201c<\/p>\n
Alonso on Vinicius Jr coming off the bench<\/p>\n
\u201cThe substitutions from game to game depend on what we need in terms of workload and opponent. I haven\u2019t made any decisions for next month. It\u2019s important for people to feel important, ready, and ready for the next game. It\u2019s important to maintain a stable performance as a team. It was a game to see that we continue to grow. After Tuesday against Osasuna, we\u2019ve grown today, and we want to continue like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone is different, and you have to demand respect, and the relationship is a little different. In football, decisions are made with the team in mind; you have to understand things, and that was the case today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have 20-something players on the roster, and I\u2019ll try to get the best out of them to have the best team possible. Vinicius was important today, and my intention is for everyone to contribute. That will be the theme for the entire year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe played a good game. They link up well on that side. He had a few shots, and it was difficult to find openings with Oviedo so deep. I liked it. We need everyone, and Rodrygo is just another one.\u201c<\/p>\n
Alonso on Franco Mastantuono<\/p>\n
\u201cFranco had a great game. In a short time, he\u2019s connected with the group and seems very integrated. He\u2019ll give us a lot. He has great energy and a great left foot. He\u2019ll only continue to improve within the group dynamic. Santi\u2019s jersey is very much in demand.\u201c<\/p>\n
Alonso on Antonio Rudiger<\/p>\n
\u201cOf all the players I have, I have to get the most out of them. And R\u00fcdiger is very stable. It\u2019s great to have players like that. Militao played 90 minutes after a long injury, and we have to take care of him. R\u00fcdiger is very reliable.\u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a bit of a stretch, but I was a little moved. I know what he\u2019s going through. The atmosphere was spectacular, and when the players were about to go out onto the field, they were saying it was beautiful, that they were going to get into it.\u201c<\/p>\n
