The Madrid management, aware that both economic and sporting results are fragile, knows that victories will ultimately determine the future of Xabi Alonso. They are also noticing a new unity among the players. Recent setbacks had weakened Alonso’s position, and public and media pressure increased after a series of draws and defeats.
