Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso supported “Barcelona” defender Ronald Araujo.
Earlier it became known that the Uruguayan defender asked the club to give him time to recover from stress. It was reported that his mental state had deteriorated even before he received a red card in the Champions League match against Chelsea (0-3).
– How do you feel about the fact that Araujo is taking a break due to a psychological condition? Don’t you think that certain taboos are being broken in modern football?
– First of all, we must respect the feelings and needs of the players. They are people, not machines. High demands and great responsibility rest on them. And if they make such a decision, if it will benefit them, it seems quite logical to me, – said Alonso.
