MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – A defeat which increases the discontent and makes everything more difficult for a coach, like Alvaro Arbeloa, who is taking charge of a first team for the first time, and not a easy first team, but Real Madrid. The former defender, however, knows that, after the elimination in the Copa del Rey against Albacete (Spanish Serie B), he cannot fail in his league debut against Levante. “For us, it’s a crucial match that we’ll approach with great energy, with great desire, we’ll play a great match. From day one, I’ve said that there’s a lot of work to do, and that I’ll give my all to win with this team.” He knows that tomorrow, the Bernabeu will have to be conquered from the very first minutes. “I greatly respect the fans’ opinions and I fully understand that at this moment there is disappointment and disappointment among the Madrid fans, but I am turning to our supporters and asking for their help. In our 123-year history, Real Madrid has won when it has had the support of its fans, and that’s what I ask.”
A former teammate and friend of Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa is careful to choose his words and defends his predecessor. “You will never find any criticism of Xabi Alonso in my words. The responsibility for what happened with Albacete, in terms of the game, ideas, and athleticism, is my own responsibility”.
