The head coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, spoke at the press conference held in the Real Madrid sports city, before his team's match against Real Mallorca in the third round of La Liga, tomorrow Saturday.

He began his talk: "Tomorrow we want to conclude this first phase of three matches, which is almost the final phase of preparation, by improving our performance. We took a step forward against Oviedo, and we want to take another step against Mallorca at home. We want the fans to love the team and to finish the season positively before the international break."

Regarding the incidents of racism against Oviedo: "We hope that the atmosphere will be competitive wherever we play and that we know how to respond to various circumstances. There are always some unwanted situations in certain stadiums, and when they are related to racism, the relevant authorities should intervene. We must focus on what happens on the pitch, that is what is most important."

On the Champions League draw: "It is tough, but it is also motivating because of the strength of the opponents we will face. Traveling to Kazakhstan is a special circumstance, and we will see how we can balance it with the tournament schedule. It is exceptional, and we must manage the logistics in the best possible way."

He continued about Ceballos's future: "I spoke with him, and nothing is changing. He stayed here, and he is part of the team, and I am happy to have him. It is better for him to talk about the details, but it seems that his decision is final. The role he was going to play will remain the same, and my view of him has not changed."

The coach praised Fede Valverde, saying: "I see him as a key player for us in our daily life within the team. He shows his leadership on the pitch and inspires those around him. He can adapt to any style of play."

He added: "I am very happy with Vinicius. Against Oviedo, he showed his ability to make a significant impact from the bench. We are still at the beginning... and he will be crucial. In the locker room, the secret lies in everyone's willingness to contribute, whether on the pitch or off it. True belief in this is essential. And everyone here believes in it. Vinicius is important here, and Valverde, and Courtois... they are all extremely important."

Regarding Camavinga: "I am excited for his return; he is with us but not permanently, and that is what I want. He will contribute a lot due to his many qualities as a modern football player; he fits what we want, and he will maintain his place. Besides being a very beloved player among his teammates, he adds great cohesion among the players. And this is also important."
