Before one of the most anticipated clashes in the Champions League Round of 16, Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa shared his thoughts on Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. According to the Madrid expert, the biggest "risk" associated with Guardiola is his unexpected decisions and his ability to find new solutions each time.
In a comment to the UEFA press service, Arbeloa described the opponent's coach as someone who always prepares a "surprise." He emphasized that while preparing his team for the game, Guardiola calculates all the scenarios on the field in advance, so Real Madrid must not overlook various options.
"There will always be some unexpected solution. He always prepares something, so it is necessary to consider different scenarios. "During the preparation process, he thinks through everything very carefully," Arbeloa commented.
At the same time, the Madrid coach specifically addressed the team's mood. According to him, Real Madrid players look forward to such big matches with the same enthusiasm as they do now: to make their mark on the field, delight the fans, and take an important step towards the next stage.
The Real Madrid vs. Manchester City match will take place today, March 11th. The match kicks off at 01:00 Tashkent time.
In short, the main rule for Arbeloa in the game against "City" is: to be prepared both mentally and tactically for any "trick" prepared by Guardiola. And tonight, the field will show who is better prepared.
