Arbeloa Outlines the New Real Madrid
The Spanish newspaper 'AS' revealed the main features of the tactical system that Álvaro Arbeloa will rely on during the upcoming phase with Real Madrid, as the project is based on a modern style of play that depends on speed, discipline, and high pressing.
Real Madrid's system under Arbeloa's leadership will primarily be a 4-3-3 formation, relying on a central defensive midfielder capable of developing play and building attacks from the back, where physical build or size is not a decisive factor in his selection, but rather technical quality and tactical awareness are more important.
The young coach's new approach also focuses on a fast-paced attack based on continuous movement and direct play, alongside imposing high pressing as a fundamental requirement on all players without exception, whether when losing the ball or in the opponent's areas.
This approach clearly reflects Arbeloa's desire to present organized attacking football based on control, physical intensity, and rapid transitions, in line with the demands of competing at the highest levels.
Real Madrid announced yesterday the mutual departure of Xabi Alonso as the team's coach, appointing Arbeloa, the Castilla coach, as his replacement at least until the end of the current season.
