Kazakh journalist gifts Alonso toy fish

[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, after Real Madrid’s 5-0 victory over FC Kairat Almaty, a Kazakh journalist gifted Xabi Alonso a toy fish that shouts “Hala Madrid” (Go Madrid). The report stated that Xabi Alonso was all smiles at the post-match press conference, not just because of the team’s victory. In a surreal scene, a Kazakh journalist presented the Spanish coach with a strange gift – a fish. This was no ordinary fish; it was a rubber fish, which Xabi Alonso accepted with a beaming smile. Subsequently, a Real Madrid press officer quickly hid the gift because the fish began loudly chanting the “Hala Madrid” slogan in the press conference room. The fish repeatedly chanted “1, 2, 3, Hala Madrid,” mimicking the rhythm of the background music from Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation at the Bernabeu years ago. The scene caused laughter among everyone present, especially Xabi Alonso, who couldn’t help but smile each time the fish “performed.” It is reported that the fish was later taken onto the Real Madrid team bus.
