A few weeks ago many Real Madrid fans criticised Arbeloa because of the few losses the club experienced. He got the hardest attack when Real failed to secure one of the eight UCL second round automatic qualification spots when they lost to Jose Mourinho's Benfica. There were also calls for him to be replaced. It's not surprising to hear people say that Arbeloa has a positive impact on the club and he should be considered for a permanent deal. I hope people will not call for his sack again after one or two losses. If you ask me, Jurgen Klopp is a perfect coach for Real.
That is how things will be sometimes if a team is losing alot and again is real madrid a big club if they are losing they will always blame the coach and that is why when Arbeloa started losing game many people are thinking he can't cope with madrid and they started thinking they will sack him if he lose against Manchester City but now that he as show is performance and achieve victory in the first leg I think many people have trusted the coach already and the players are cooperating with coach and that is what a good manager always need.
What make me like Arbeloa as madrid manager he give the young players to play to show there talent in the pitch and even bringing academic players to perform against Elche and they really do well. I don't think madrid will like to think about new managers for now because the current one is doing a good job already.
Nobody wants to address the part where Mbappe wasn't even playing. Knee thing. Sat out. So that whole impressive win, the big three nil, it happened without him. At the same time it is weirder and more impressive. And I don't know what to do with the feeling.
Valverde just decided it was his night and that was that. This is what Madrid does. One guy goes absolutely mental in the Champions League and then we all forget the problems existed.
And I do think Arbeloa's done something real with the younger players, really I do think like you said. Guler actually playing where he can see the goal and Mastantuono getting proper time. That wasn't happening before. Those kids were kind of furniture before.
The return tomorrow is different. City's ground, City's crowd. If that's going to change, then all this we're talking about now is not going to matter. That's just Madrid. It always comes down to one game making the difference.
