“I was whistled as a player too” – Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa on Vinicius Junior reaction
“I was whistled as a player too” – Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa on Vinicius Junior reaction Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa was forced to answer multiple questions on his players being whistled by their own fans for a third time this season, following Los Blancos’ 2-1 win over Alaves . Vinicius Junior was the main target for the Santiago Bernabeu again, despite turning out to be the match-winner. Of course the main talking point in the Spanish capital is Arbeloa’s own future, with uncertainty over who will be the next Real Madrid manager.
“It doesn’t matter what’s at stake for me, what matters is what’s at stake for Real Madrid,” he told Diario AS after the game. He was also unconcerned about the end of the season dragging out, with Los Blancos having little to play for if Barcelona wrap up the La Liga title. “I don’t think it will be too long or too short.
We have six games and that’s the goal: to win them. We know that every game counts and that we’re focused on what we need to improve as a group. We have to be able to fight in every game, regardless of the opponent.
” Alvaro Arbeloa on whistles for Vinicius Junior One of the major talking points were the whistles for Vinicius, who scored the eventual winner, and used the opportunity to apologise to the fans. “It’s not the first time this has happened to us, as I always say. He’s always made a great effort in difficult situations.
We can’t deny his desire to do more and to try. He has tremendous courage. He feels a deep connection to the badge and the shirt.
