Alonso: No problem with Mourinho
Posted Saturday, October 01, 2011 by ESPN
Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso insists Jose Mourinho does not have any problems in the dressing room.
The Portuguese coach reportedly invoked the anger of his players after blaming Sami Khedira for his side's shock 1-0 defeat to Levante.
But according to Alonso, that's not the case.
"Nothing surprises me in football anymore. There is no point to get annoyed. We take things lightly," he was quoted by AS as saying.
"There is good communication between the squad and Mourinho and the coach's door is always open."
The former Liverpool midfielder also compared the style of play between Madrid and rivals Barcelona.
"One team control the game more and the other play in a more direct way," he added. "But both styles are valid. Not being very mobile is just as bad as not having control.
"We create many chances with our direct playing style, but sometimes we should have more control, if we could balance these things, we would be a better team."
