Many media reports stated that Real Madrid requested the International Football Federation "FIFA" to cancel the press conference for coach Xabi Alonso before the match against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

The Spanish network "COPE" reported that Real Madrid's plane is still flying in the skies over the American capital Washington, waiting for permission to land due to bad weather conditions.

As a result of this delay, the club management decided to cancel the press conference for coach Xabi Alonso, in addition to canceling the mixed zone that was designated for statements from Real Madrid's trio (Valverde, Courtois, and Jakobo).

Real Madrid's delegation had flown a few hours earlier from Palm Beach in Florida to New York to play the anticipated match today, Wednesday, against Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
