RWith the Merengues’ victory over Monaco in Round 7 of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid’s sporting crisis appears to be coming to an end. After being eliminated in the Copa del Rey, the Spanish team celebrated once again and managed to pick up all three points under Arbeloa’s direction. However, the Spanish coach continues to be criticized, but more for his attitude than his team’s performance.
Alvaro Arbeloa has only been in charge of Real Madrid for three games, but he has already managed to capture the attention of the media and fans, for better or for worse. The former Castilla manager has displayed a direct and somewhat arrogant personality, which has led to criticism from outsiders.
Arbeloa receives criticism from Barcelona
The main criticism of Arbeloa was for his response and demeanor at press conferences. For example, a video of the manager arriving at the Santiago Bernabéu and staring at Madrid’s Champions League trophy in a display case was widely commented on on social networks, with the video being described as arrogant and an “act”.
After these acts, it was Cadena SER journalist Chique Rodríguez who came out to criticize Arbeloa, who expressed harsh words about the former Real Madrid defender and current manager.
He arrived at 7 in the morning and cameras were waiting to film him, but today another camera caught him badmouthing Vinicius because he left a little late for training…
Arbeloa win the Champions League for the first time
They defeated Monaco 6-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
At this point, the fan whistles turned into applause.
This latest win helped to calm things down a bit, as Real Madrid had just defeated Levante in La Liga in a duel that showed the fans’ dissatisfaction with Florentino and the players.
Arbeloa knows he’s in the spotlight and far from changing his attitude, he’ll now try to earn a place until the end of the season, but if he achieves his goals he could potentially stay longer.
