As dem dey prepare, Xabi Alonso still dey dance around pressure wey don gather for am because of bad run with the team. Fans don start to talk say the guy fit soon walk the plank if result no gree shine for their eyes. But last match dem win Deportivo Alaves, that one give am small relief, even though fans still dey doubt wetin e dey do.
Alonso don change tactics small- small try to play the ‘Fantastic Four’ together: Mbappé, Vinícius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo. Dis formation dey sweet fans belle, but the balance still dey tricky. Na so dem win 2-1 against Alaves, but e no mean say dem dey shine for everywhere.
The match against Talavera no suppose be wahala, but we sabi say for cup matches, anything fit happen. Talavera dey for second-to-last position for their division, but dem fit surprise anybody wey no dey ready. E no go too dey funny if Madrid miss this chance to shine.
If Real fit win dis match, dem go get more confidence as dem dey go face Sevilla after dis one. Fans dey hope say no be so dem go carry wahala come back from cup matches, otherwise Alonso fit start receive hot seat treatment.
Real Madrid dey pray no be like last season wey e no dey sweet to see. As dem dey take training serious, make dem cut down misfiring wey don dey follow dem. If dem win, e go sweet pass. We go follow the story of how dis match go turn out, but for now, all eyes dey on the pitch.
