Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has shared his thoughts on the team's performance this season. Maintaining transparency, the specialist emphasized that points dropped in certain matches remain the team's biggest problem.
— I think journalists should provide the overall assessment. I am ready to talk about my work. Yes, we failed to win a number of matches, especially against opponents where we should not have dropped points. It is precisely those games that cause the most regret, — said Arbeloa.
He noted that the team performs well in matches against strong opponents. However, unnecessary point losses against lower-ranked teams are becoming a serious problem in the title race.
— We are showing our best games against equal and strong opponents. But if we want to fight for the title in La Liga, Real Madrid does not have the right to drop points in some games. That aspect remains a sore point for us, — the coach added.
Arbeloa also admitted that situations difficult to control are recurring frequently within the team. He explained this using recent matches as examples.
— There are some situations that are difficult to fully control, and they are repeating. We saw this in the matches against Betis (1:1) and Girona (1:1) last week. Similar situations have occurred in other games as well. But this shows that we still have opportunities for growth and development, — he said.
The coach's candid statement indicates that Real Madrid still has issues requiring solutions. Now, the main task for the team is to restore consistency and avoid dropping points during the decisive phase of the season.
