Real Madrid coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, is optimistic about the team’s return to LaLiga this Sunday. After a defeat that relegated them outside the top eight in the Champions League, the coach expects the support of the fans. Madrid suffered a 4-2 defeat against Benfica on Wednesday, a result that led them to ninth place in the Champions League table. This means they will face a playoff against the same rival in February to reach the round of 16. Previously, the Bernabéu fans had shown their discontent after the dismissal of the previous coach, Xabi Alonso, and the elimination from the Copa del Rey. However, the team had shown an improvement in their performance before this latest setback.
No, I hope the Bernabéu is with the team. We know we need the fans. I always ask for their support, because together we are stronger. Our goal is to win on Sunday and keep fighting for the league.

During the match against Levante, Vinícius Júnior and Bellingham were whistled at by the fans. However, Arbeloa has repeatedly backed his key players.We are working to find the consistency we need. It’s not a time for disillusionment or euphoria. It’s time to work, that’s all… Regret is a dead end. When things don’t go well, you have to improve. That’s my path as a coach. I’m sure I’ll make many mistakes.

Despite the challenges, Real Madrid starts the day just one point behind Barcelona in the LaLiga table.I understand all the football debates, but I always want to have the best players on the field. The more minutes they can have, the better… They are players capable of opening up a match at any moment.
