At Real Madrid, doubts have intensified: the players don't have complete confidence in Arbeloa...
Real Madrid suffered an unexpected 0-1 defeat at home to Getafe in the 26th round of La Liga, putting themselves in a very uncomfortable position in the championship race. The only goal of the match was scored by Martin Satriano in the 39th minute. Following this result, Real Madrid remain in second place with 60 points, while league leaders Barcelona hold a 4-point lead with 64 points.
This defeat wasn't just a point drop, but further fueled discussions about the team's morale. According to reports related to Cadena SER's El Larguero program, Real Madrid's clothing store has questions regarding some of Alvaro Arbeloa's decisions and approaches. That is, the rumors that confidence in the coach is not absolute in the team are not useless, but arise against the backdrop of pre-forming internal tension.
Reports indicate that some players were shocked by the technical and tactical decisions, which began to affect confidence and stability within the team. Of course, this is not an official statement from the club, but such signals from a reliable Spanish source show that the current situation is bigger than a simple defeat. Because in a club like Real Madrid, when the result deteriorates, the eyes always turn to the coach first.
Now a very difficult calendar awaits the Madrid team. On March 6th, Real Madrid will play away against Celta Vigo in La Liga. After that, on March 11, he will play his first match in the Champions League round of 16 against "Manchester City." So, there's almost no time for Arbeloa - he needs to restore both the game and the team's morale very quickly.
In short, the defeat against Getafe was twice as difficult for Real Madrid: on the one hand, a shot from the championship race, and on the other, a matter of confidence in the locker room. Now, the next two matches are not just a simple challenge for the team - they will become a real test for Arbeloa.
