Alonso: Mbappe won t start in some games Our plan is to let Valverde play midfielder
How do you think of tomorrow's game
- Espanyol is in good shape, but we also have plenty of energy to continue the current momentum. It will be a challenge because they are in good shape, but we are playing at home and we need to show good performances.
Mbappe is the only regular starter?
- We have a lot of games, some of which he certainly won't start, you need to accept that naturally. He can't play...well, not impossible, he can play all the games, but I don't think that will happen. Mbappe is important, but there are some games he won't start.
How do you think about maintaining the punishment decision on Heysen?
—For one thing, I was not surprised. Although I hope the results are different...it seems impossible to achieve. If you admit your mistake, you should bear the corresponding consequences, but this is not the case. Let's stop here.
Has Vinicius's condition declined?
- I think he is in good shape. After the incident a few days ago, yesterday was obviously not a good time to talk to him, but today he has become more active. I chatted with him for a while and did some training together.
Regarding Valverde's statement that you have discussed with him that he will not be allowed to play as a full-back again. Can you give such a guarantee?
- I don't know what a guarantee is, because anything can happen, but our plan is to make him play a role in the midfield position. He performed very well on the court a few days ago and made a huge contribution to the team. He is very important to us and has helped the team a lot.
Will Bellingham and Kamavenga start tomorrow?
- They may be on the court, although they have only participated in a few training sessions recently, we will take a look at the specific situation.
How to define "full game"?
—The recent games have been affected by some factors, mainly due to the red and yellow card issue. But I hope that for a longer period of time, we can control the game. I hope the team can create opportunities and keep the game stable, which will lead to emotional stability. Avoid over-excitation, as over-excitation can sometimes lead to wrong decisions. The longer these matches are, the more beneficial it is to us.
What things can Rodrigo bring on the wing that Vinicius does not have?
- His skills, breakthrough ability and coordination ability are excellent, but Vinicius also has these characteristics. Whether it was a starter or a substitute, he performed very well. Have the insulting remarks on the court been out of control?
—Ideally, we should not experience these situations. Although I am rarely affected by this, some of my companions often encounter this situation. Unfortunately, we must learn to deal with these insults, otherwise they will affect our game performance and mood, and the insulting remarks on the court have been out of control for a long time.
About facing Mourinho
- I had fought with his Rome before when I was in Leverkusen. For him, this game will be very special. He spent three tense and important years at Real Madrid and had a deep affection for the club.
How to help Vinicius restore state?
—When I met him yesterday, I felt it was not the right time to talk. You need to have this intuition, and we have a little talk today. But the league has only been in five rounds and there is still a lot of time left. This is a marathon that lasts until May and we need to go step by step.
Which position do you think Kamavenga is suitable for?
- I think he is a midfielder. Of course, he is very comprehensive and competes in multiple positions, just like Valverde. But I prefer to have him play No. 6 or No. 8 in the midfield. He has a lot of attributes. Now we need to incorporate him into the overall tactics of the team, whether it is with or without the ball.
How do you describe your role as a "team manager"?
—I don't like self-description. I'm just a coach, it's up to you to decide whether it's good or bad.
Did Vinicius's state fluctuations affect the team?
- In my opinion, there are many important players on the team. Vinicius is one of them, whether in terms of level, experience, development trajectory or the contribution they can bring to the team. There are also Bellingham, Valverde, Joan Ammeni, Heysen, Guerre, etc. I don't want to label anyone, I attach great importance to every player and hope that the entire team can feel their importance and we need everyone to work in the same direction.
