Arbeloa Shocks Juan Martinez
Alvaro Arbeloa, coach of Real Madrid Castilla, made candid statements about the development of the young player Juan Martinez, pointing out that his great talent requires more commitment and hard work to be able to reach the first team.
Arbeloa said that Martinez has promising potential, but he emphasized that the road ahead is still long, explaining: "He has to train much harder than he does now, with greater focus and intensity. If he wants to be a player at Real Madrid, he must realize that the demands in this position are extremely high."
The coach added that the player's current level is not enough to be part of the first team, saying: "What he is doing now is not enough. He can be a great player in Castilla, but playing in the senior team is a completely different story."
He concluded in his talk: "We are working to make him aware of the necessity to train to the maximum every day. That is where his big leap in improvement lies, because he has the capabilities, but what he is offering now is not sufficient."
These statements come at a time when Martinez is considered one of the most prominent talents in Real Madrid's academy, noting that the player is returning from a cruciate ligament injury, and that last year he was a candidate to join the first team.
