November 10th: In this round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano, failing to win and score in two consecutive games. After the game, Real Madrid coach Alonso attended the press conference.

Regarding Real Madrid’s dull performance, how far is it from playing a wonderful game?

"We prepared for this demanding game. It has been difficult to play here in the previous seasons, and it is the same this time. Rayo Vallecano's competitive level is very high, and we failed to break the balance. The scene has always been intense, and it was the same today."

Is the loss at Anfield confusing to the team?

"The game at Anfield, that's in the past. After that, we wanted a game that went our way. Anything could happen in the second half. I don't blame it on mood swings, it's game after game in the league and today it just didn't work out."

On two games in a row without a win and without a goal.

"What I care about is to continue to grow and engage in constructive self-criticism. This is Real Madrid, it is still November, we must be demanding of ourselves and at the same time maintain a sense of proportion."

Is this a lack of intensity in the game?

"We didn't win all the duels, but we didn't lose all the duels either. The game was very competitive. We failed to break the balance in transition between offense and defense, but we held on well on the defensive end. This is not a lack of intensity."

Regarding whether we need to stay calm after two consecutive unfavorable results, is this a crisis?

"We know our situation, we must know balance in good times and bad times, and we have always coexisted with this highest requirement."

About two games without scoring, and Enderrick and Gonzalo Garcia did not even warm up

"We have other players who can also create opportunities."

About letting Valverde, who is still somewhat unwell, risk playing, is it because Arnold cannot start yet?

"Valverde feels good before the game. Arnold still needs a little more time. He can prepare well during the international match."
