Former Teammate and Current Real Oviedo Player Raves About Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso

The two players will certainly share a few minutes before the game to chat about family and life. Recently, Cazorla spoke in an interview on 'El Larguero', and discussed Xabi Alonso and his future as a head coach.

All I ask is for the team to win and for me to be able to participate, so if I can accompany him, all the better. I spoke to him recently because we had a video call when he was still the Leverkusen coach. He's a role model for me and he's going to be a great coach, as he's already showing. Santi Carzola

Cazorla continued, even making a joke about him not revealing any information about his move to Real Madrid from Bayer Leverkusen.

We did talk about Real Madrid during the video call, but the b******d didn't say anything. I couldn't put my cards on the table either, but Xabi always comes out of these things very well. Our duo at Euro 2008 were the ones who came off the bench. For me, he was a role model because he was a proven player. He helped me a lot and playing with him has been a privilege.Santi Cazorla

Cazorla will be hoping to get on the field and play against the Madrid giants, and would love to help win the game. However, Alonso will want to keep his unbeaten start to the season. Whatever the result, both will talk after the game and keep in touch in the future.
