The season is not going as expected for Real Madrid. Despite head coach Alvaro Arbeloa taking the helm in January and starting under difficult circumstances, the results have not yet reached the expected level. The "Royal Club" failed to achieve the desired success in the Champions League, was eliminated from the Copa del Rey in an early round, and has fallen significantly behind its main rival, Barcelona, in La Liga.
In such a complex situation, the atmosphere within the team and the mental state of the players are of great importance. At a press conference, journalists asked Arbeloa whether his attitude toward the players had changed in light of these unsuccessful results.
The Spanish specialist gave a clear and firm answer to this question. He emphasized that he has never been disappointed in his players and considers supporting them his primary duty at all times.
“Of course not. I defend the players in public. My results and my fate depend on the performance they show every day. This is the duty of every coach. I have a very close relationship with most of the players on the team. All problems should be solved within the team. I will always remain their primary defender,” said Arbeloa.
These words demonstrate an intention to maintain trust and unity within the team, as the coach's position and belief in the players are of decisive importance during a difficult season.
As a reminder, Real Madrid will host Espanyol in the next round. This match is important for the team not only for the three points but also from a psychological perspective.
Now the question is — can Arbeloa lead the team out of this crisis? Or will the season end in an unexpected way for Real? The upcoming matches will provide the answer.
