Alonso: I won’t say we rely on Mbappe. Guler and Bellingham can swap positions

October 20th After defeating Getafe 1-0, Real Madrid coach Alonso talked about some topics about the team's performance in this game at the press conference. Alonso said that Mbappe did play a decisive role, but he would not say that the team relied on him.

About facing Juventus and Barcelona

- We are still digesting today's game, which is a very fierce battle. This game was not very pleasant to play or watch, and starting tomorrow we will turn our attention to Juventus.

About dependence on Mbappe

- I wouldn't say that. We are very satisfied with Mbappe's performance, he really played a decisive role. But we need everyone's efforts. Scoring goals is important, but there are many other factors behind it.

About Guler's position

-I think Bellingham and Guler can play the No. 6 and No. 10 positions, and they can swap positions. We have different types of players in the midfield and can adjust as needed. When Guler turns around and delivers the final pass, he is very decisive and we need to encourage this combination.

About Getafe's last chance

- After the chance passed, I wasn't too worried, but at that moment... when the opponent only had 9 men left, this shouldn't happen.

Does this game provide confidence against Juventus and Barcelona?

- Playing away at Getafe is never easy, we have to know how to compete. The team performed very well today and everyone knows how to work hard. Even though the game was not pretty, we still enjoyed it and we will be in good shape to face the challenge next week.

About Valverde and Rodrygo playing on the right side at the same time

- this is not news to me, it is just an option for us because they bring us quality performances.

About Courtois and Alaba’s situation

– Courtois should be fine. Alaba is feeling unwell and we don't want to take any chances and we will further assess his situation tomorrow.

About Camavinga

- I really like his performance. We noticed an imbalance in the first half, especially with him on the left. We controlled Getafe very well today and Camavinga was very comprehensive.

About Guler's performance

- Guler made a good impact. We found him playing well between the lines, especially with that pass from Militao. Finding a rhythm is always difficult.

About Courtois’ key save

– Courtois is crucial for us. We shouldn't have given the other team a chance in that situation, but we ended up getting three points.

About Vinicius

- He made a big impact and we discussed this morning that he could be very important at the start of the game or he could change the game in the second half and that proved to be the case. Ultimately, everyone should know they are all important in their respective roles.

Before the press conference, Alonso also accepted an interview with Real Madrid TV:

Regarding the connection between Guler and Mbappé

- I think it is very good. It is obvious that the two of them can cooperate well. We also need to find their connections. It's important to find that synergy within the team.

About Getafe

- They are a team that is very good at executing their tactics and always making the game difficult. We have to keep control of the game and stay focused.

About this game

- This is a very important victory. We need to be patient and hardworking, continue to believe in ourselves, and wait for the opportunity to come. We were a little relaxed at the end of the first half, but the substitutions in the second half had a good effect.
