Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid's manager, spoke to the media after their 2-1 loss to Osasuna in La Liga, acknowledging the team's struggles to string together wins. "You always have to match the opponent's intensity. It's true that we haven't yet managed to string together four or five matches," Arbeloa said, emphasizing the need for improvement.
Arbeloa highlighted the team's lack of speed in their play against Osasuna's low block, stating, "In the first half, apart from control, we lacked moving the ball faster and creating more danger." He emphasized the importance of analyzing their performance and working on their weaknesses.
Despite the loss, Arbeloa remains optimistic about the team's chances, saying, "There are many games left, and we have a lot of room for improvement." He praised the players' commitment and unity, stating, "The players' commitment is undeniable. Their effort against a formidable opponent on a challenging pitch is commendable."
Arbeloa also addressed questions about Vinicius Jr's situation, saying, "I believe what Vini says. Of course. I would never doubt Vini's words." He emphasized the team's support for Vinicius, stating, "All I told him was that if he wanted to keep playing, we'd be by his side, whatever decision he made."
In terms of tactics, Arbeloa prioritizes being solid above all else, saying, "The goal is always to be solid. It's very difficult these days to play good football if you're not solid, compact, and don't know how to press high up the pitch." He praised the team's work ethic and commitment, stating, "Since I arrived, I've seen a very positive attitude from all the players, and that's been key."
The team will look to regroup and refocus on their next match, with Arbeloa leading the charge. The season is far from over, and Real Madrid fans will be hoping for a strong finish.
