‘Heart And Desire Push More Than The Legs’: Alonso On Madrid’s Request To Postpone Season Opener
FIFA Club World Cup: Real Madrid were hoping for their La Liga season opener to be postponed, citing insufficient time to recover after the prolonged season saw the side participate in the FIFA Club World Cup. New head coach Xabi Alonso said it would have been nice to get the extra rest but his team is ready to compete.
The club had hoped to push back their scheduled game against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu on August 20 (IST), arguing insufficient recovery and preparation time following their participation in the Club World Cup.
"It's now immutable, but our request, especially for the players' health, would have been nice to receive that support. It couldn't be. We've only had two weeks and there are no excuses. The team can compete tomorrow. The heart and desire push, sometimes, more than the legs,” said Alonso in his pre-game conference.
