Real Madrid return to the field after a week of intrigue and conversations. Arbeloa took the opportunity to address both in his pre-match press conference against Real Sociedad, clarifying Mbappe’s condition and sending a message to Flick’s Barcelona.
Match against Real Sociedad
“With the new manager, they are unbeaten and have played against Barça and Atleti. We know we have to perform at the highest level.”
mbappe
“He has been training well with the group and is available.”
Agreement between Real Madrid and UEFA
“The club said in a statement: “It’s very good for football.”
“Untouchable”
“The 11 players in the I-field are the best for the game, and there are 15 more players. As a friend of mine says, the worst player here is as good as you are. We all know the opportunity will come and they will perform very well. I’m very lucky. I want everyone to feel important.”
game ideas for your team
“I’m imagining tomorrow’s game. If you ask me in five years, I’ll say the same thing. There’s room for improvement and I’m happy with this week’s training.”
carvajal
“I look at him the same way as all of my teammates. I like to talk to him, I set up opportunities to talk to everyone. I want to know what they’re feeling, what they’re thinking. And I like to know what I’m thinking. He’s getting better and better. If a player doesn’t play the way he wants, then I’m satisfied. It’s normal to not be able to do it. Everyone wants to feel important. If he came to Madrid, it was because they were important, and that’s the key. I encourage everyone to work and if you’re not happy, come to the gray world. But I prioritize the collective over the individual. ”
review
“It’s my first time in this chair, but not at Real Madrid. Very few things surprise me.”
Conversation with players
“I’ve been through a lot of that. That’s what I like. That’s how I work and how I understand my position. When I was a player, I liked having that relationship with the coaches. Now that I’m sitting in this chair, I try to talk to everyone about everything, especially football. There’s always someone at the door. They know where I am. Sometimes they come to me, sometimes I call them. That’s what’s really important to me, the closer I am, the better.”
team dinner
“I like to see them together. It’s one of the things I’ve insisted on the most. They’re very happy. They have time to have fun. We had a great training session on Tuesday. I’m glad they’ve been able to have dinner together since then. I miss them when I was a player. Cristiano used to come.”
Barcelona vs Atlético match
“I have nothing to say. Just ask Barça at Flick.”
Asensio and Huisen
“Last Sunday, we fielded a younger defense than the three Primera RFEF teams. We have players with great potential, players who should be in the Primera RFEF, players who are playing in international football. They have a present and a future. It is not easy to be a defender at Real Madrid. I see them preparing more and recognizing the importance of it.”
balance and comfort
“I’m not here to reflect. I’m eating a lot just in case. I have energy. I’m very lucky to be here and I’m going to enjoy it until my last day.”
