Real Madrid legend Michel has criticized the club for their unfair treatment of Xabi Alonso.
Recall that the Spanish tactician was sacked and replaced by Álvaro Arbeloa following a 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.
However, Michel, in a chat with Radio Marca, suggested that Alonso was made a scapegoat and questioned if there was much difference between Alonso’s work and his replacement, Álvaro Arbeloa.
“Xabi Alonso’s departure was perhaps more understandable from the beginning of the season. It was clear something was going to happen based on what they were writing and saying..

“Do you really think there’s much difference between what Xabi does and what Arbeloa does?
“It’s easiest to make decisions against the coaches ; it’s almost always the coach who leaves. Xabi Alonso hadn’t lost that many games either.
“When you hire coaches, you can’t change them overnight; there’s a timeframe.
“I remember when I was young and (Radi) Antic was sacked while we were top of the league, and we ended up losing the title in Tenerife. Was that the coaches’ fault? The players and the squad you have are always the main focus.”
