His ending at Real Madrid appears set to come through the back door after weeks marked by internal tension and an irreversible distancing from the coach , who has not relied on him again. A complete breakdown The conflict between Ceballos and Arbeloa exploded at the end of April after a confrontation between player and coach that ended up permanently breaking their relationship.
As reported previously , Ceballos himself told the dressing room a very significant phrase regarding his situation with Arbeloa: “I asked the coach not to have any relationship with me. ” Ceballos had a major falling out with Arbeloa.
