Vallejo Shocked by Xabi Alonso's Sudden Departure from Madrid

Former Real Madrid defender Jesus Vallejo was left speechless when he found out that Xabi Alonso was fired on January 12 after a nail-biting 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana. Despite a promising start and five wins, the pressure was too much. With 24 wins in 34 games, Alonso is still a Madrid legend, but now Alvaro Arbeloa takes the helm as interim boss.
