💨 Abstract

Thierry Henry has defended Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, who is under pressure after a poor run of form. Alonso, who had a successful stint at Bayer Leverkusen, has won only two of his last eight matches with Madrid. Despite the criticism, Henry believes it's premature to judge Alonso after just half a season. Madrid's recent defeat to Manchester City and their position in La Liga and the Champions League have intensified the scrutiny on Alonso.
