"I am happy with what he is doing and we are starting [the season]. There is a lot left and he is important,"
"The other day they [the players] were all happy... for the victory and the feeling. And that's what we need, to make a team. Everyone understands the role we want for the team."
"I've been a player and when they substituted me it wasn't the best time. He took it with normality, naturalness. I don't make a big deal out of this."
"We'll see... it's not my topic. I'm not part of the jury. I haven't thought much about this, I only think about Levante,"
Alonso stated satisfaction with Vinicius Jr's performances and downplayed suggestions of a rift after the forward showed visible annoyance at being substituted. Vinicius was left out of the Champions League starting XI but returned for the Espanyol match and was replaced in the 77th minute with Madrid leading 2-0. Alonso emphasized that Vinicius remains important despite a relatively disappointing 2024/25 and ongoing struggles for top form.
