[Must Board] Alonso: I don't care about the Golden Globes; Vinicius? I would be unhappy if I was replaced that year

22-year-old Kamavenga is about to start his fifth season at Real Madrid. What are your expectations for him?

I have expectations for Eduardo because he has been with us for a long time, but he doesn't play much time. I know him by watching his game, but what I'm more looking forward to is seeing him perform on the court, coaching him and seeing how he goes to read the game.

He has great potential and outstanding abilities. In a group, individual performance is also important, and Eduardo is one of them. He is so young that what he has achieved so far is very important, but he still has a long way to go.

He desires success, is determined, is generous, and is good at teamwork... and he also has very different personalities. As a No. 6 player, with his leadership, he can break through boundaries and become the bottom player. He is not static, but full of vitality... He has very excellent qualities.

What do you think of the La Liga broadcasting game at 9:30 pm on weekdays?

Well...I guess this is neither the first time nor the last time we played at that time. The Champions League match was at 9 pm, so... I have nothing to say.

Last weekend, Real Madrid TV released a data: Real Madrid is the team that requires the most fouls, and the referee will show the opponent a yellow card for every 16 fouls. What does this data indicate? Does it confirm what you said to Gil Manzano: "You make me feel bad"?

How did you get the ball to bounce, well, so it went in (laughs). Data is data (laughs).

Among all the frontcourt players you arranged: Mastantuno, Vinicius, Brahim... Which one do you like the most?

(smile) This question is difficult to answer because I think if I answer you, I might get into trouble. We obviously need everyone, and I'm glad.

Although I think we can do better. In the offensive three zones, whether it is efficiency or organization of the offense... we must keep improving. We have to constantly try different approaches. But the foundation is being built, and this foundation will be very solid for the rest of the season.

Everyone is doing well, really everyone. Some could have scored more goals than they are now, some are still waiting for their first goal…but they are eager to score. And that's exactly what I have to use, that desire and motivation. Then I will make a choice.

What do you think is the key to a successful start of the season?

The past is gone, and we must keep moving forward. We must recognize the stage we are in, we are laying the foundation and building the foundation.

Obviously, the results help us maintain our confidence, believing that the road is well and telling us something. But there is no secret to this. Keep the team united and work together to benefit everyone. This is something we have been emphasizing since day one, and it is something we are repeating. This will be one of the keys of this season.

A few days ago, your possession rate was the highest (72%), but your shots were the least in that game. Are you trying different offensive methods to improve efficiency?

As you said, we had the ball the other day, but it was difficult for us to create more opportunities in the offensive third zone. As I just said. Of course, we have discussed this issue and tried our best to correct it.

We must be prepared to deal with any possible situation. Levante is approaching, but they may also suppress you on the front line. They now have two forwards in good shape (Eta Eyon and Ivan Romero), as well as wide players with high integration and offensiveness…

We must be prepared for every stage of the game, and the more accurate our forward performance…(silence). Data is data, there is no doubt, but the interpretation may be different!
