Pedrerol’s Insights on Real Madrid’s Season

Disappointing Performance

Josep Pedrerol has close ties with Real Madrid and its president, Florentino Pérez, although he acknowledged that the club is experiencing a challenging season.

Praise and Critique of Florentino

Discussing Florentino, Pedrerol stated, “In my opinion, he is the greatest president in the history of Spanish football. However, he is not infallible and does have the potential to make errors.”

Analysis of Xabi Alonso

Pedrerol also examined the actions of former coach Xabi Alonso, noting that he attempted to establish his authority during a particularly sensitive time in the team’s locker room. He remarked, “He aimed to be assertive, but his efforts soon crumbled away like sugar dissolving in water.”

Current Situation with Álvaro Arbeloa

When addressing the current coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, Pedrerol distinctly pointed out the tough circumstances that the team finds itself in. “He is in a particularly challenging position, and at this moment, there is little encouragement coming from Real Madrid,” Pedrerol concluded.
