Report – The reason why Real Madrid midfielder had a falling out with Arbeloa
Report – The reason why Real Madrid midfielder had a falling out with Arbeloa It is clear that Alvaro Arbeloa does not have the backing of the dressing room, and if the recent leaks are not enough to back up that theory, the team’s performance on the field and complete lack of regard for the manager’s methods confirm the same. A large part of the divide between the players and Arbeloa is owing to the manager’s relative inexperience. Some part, however, also has to do with his decision to bench veterans.
One player whose feud with Arbeloa falls into the latter category is Dani Ceballos, who has now been omitted from the team’s last two matchday squads including against Barcelona last night. Where the disagreement began As reported by Mundo Deportivo , Ceballos’ anger towards Arbeloa is not only limited to the lack of minutes he has had under the manager but also how the coach seemingly jeopardised the player’s future. Indeed, the report furthers that the disagreement between the two parties began when Ceballos heard of Arbeloa speaking poorly of him to one of the teams that he is looking to join in June.

Instead of backing his player and providing a positive opinion, however, the coach seems to have bad-mouthed Ceballos which did not go down well with the player.
After all, it could have a direct impact on his transfer and future. The midfielder is thus disappointed and furious with Arbeloa for how he has handled the entire situation, and the fact that he has placed Thiago Pitarch over him in the pecking order has only added fuel to the fire. Having now been omitted from the last two matchday squads, Ceballos is unlikely to feature anymore for Real Madrid in the remaining matches.
Given how he is pushing for a subsequent departure, he may well have played his last game in white.
