Xabi Alonso is represented at Real Madrid: Our Age Begins Now

No doubt, for me, this is a very special day. One day I'll mark my calendar for life. I'm so happy to be here, in what I feel like home. The relationship with Real Madrid has never ceased to exist, and since I entered Valdebebas an hour and a half ago, this feeling has been reborn. ”

I have the feeling that this is the beginning of a new era. Florentino, thank you so much for your faith. I feel that fans, fans of Real Madrid, are excited to begin this new era, to grow up and make the history of this club even bigger. And thank my family, who are always my friends.

Before I start talking about the new phase, I don't want to forget about the phase that's just over. Carlo was my coach, a great person and a great influence. Without his skill, I probably wouldn't be here. I take over and continue his heritage with great honor and pride. I hope I can meet the expectations and take the club to all the places we believe we can.

We're entering a new era in which I feel the club and the fans are united. We have a great team, we have great players and great potential. That gives me reason to come here with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. We are convinced that we can achieve important things, worthy of Real Madrid and these European Cups.

We want to make fans proud, convey emotions and joy. Let people go to the stadium for fun. If we can turn this on, we'll have an unstoppable force. We are convinced that we can do beautiful things”, Alonso said. /Periscope/
