Xabi Alonso praised the new signings of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen for Real Madrid, noting their "instant impact" in a press conference. The team is set to debut against Al Hilal in the Club World Cup, following a disappointing prior season. Alonso expressed satisfaction with the transfers and highlighted their readiness to contribute right away. He also mentioned future signing Franco Mastantuono, emphasizing his maturity. Alonso hinted at needed improvements in team positioning and compactness to enhance performance as the tournament progresses.
I'm really happy with how we've worked in terms of transfers. Dean and Trent are top, top players. They have an instant impact.
He's a boy with a fantastic present and an incredible future. The maturity he has on the field, he brings off the field too.
It's about the distances [between players], with and without the ball. We have to be better positioned to have the ball, and to win it back.
