Carvajal Drops BOMBS on Alonso & Future Amid Super Cup Clash
Carvajal praises Xabi Alonso’s calm leadership, discusses injury struggles and contract worries ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final.
Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal spoke about the team's recent form, his contract situation, and his recovery from injury, openly discussing both the challenges and optimism before the Super Cup final.
It's true that in the last part of the year the team wasn't at its best level. We were also affected by many absences. The Christmas break was good for all of us. I see Xabi calm, with clear ideas. It's true that when results don't go well, there's always a bit of noise around it. But we are fully behind him.
— Dani Carvajal
I come from a complicated process, a serious injury. What I really want is to train and enjoy playing. The club is still aligned with what I think too. I have to play and see the level I can show on the pitch. If the club and I are on the same wavelength, there won't be a problem with the timing.
— Dani Carvajal
I had six or seven structures in my knee that had to be restored. It wasn't easy. Now it seems we're on the right track. I've talked a lot about the injury problem: another World Cup, matches every three days, more and more tournaments… players don't talk without reason.
— Dani Carvajal
With the Super Cup final looming, Carvajal's words underscore a mix of realism about recent struggles but strong faith in both the coach and himself as they prepare for a crucial test.
