Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa appeared in press statements following the 2-0 victory over Levante in the twentieth round of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

The coach began his talk about the boos directed at the team: "You know I am a person who respects the Bernabeu. I myself have been booed many times, and that played a role in helping me. We knew which week we were coming into, and the fans demand that we be at the level of Real Madrid.

He added about the boos aimed at Vinicius: "The only thing I will do is bring out the best version of Vinicius. I will make his teammates look for him on the field. He represents Real Madrid in the best way, dribbling, daring, and making a difference. I am proud to be his coach. He will give us many titles, as he already has."

He continued: "What happened at halftime to improve performance in the second half? We knew the difficulty of the match. We do not have the same confidence when we are not winning, so we needed players to take on great responsibility. We have to do things much better than we did in the first half, we were not coming off a good week, and the crowd has the right to show their anger. Now I have to win as a coach, and the boos are directed at me first because I am the coach."

Regarding the widespread image of a sad Vinicius in the tunnel leading to the locker room before the match: "I didn’t have time to watch TV. He is fine, like everyone else. We are happy with the win. We all know we will improve and fight for everything."

He stressed: "The players understand the boos, all the players want the ball, and it is not easy to play under such conditions. We know the magnitude of the responsibility on us, and I am very proud to coach these players. Playing for Real Madrid requires a special mentality, and they have it."

About Arda Guler’s brilliance: "Arda is a very talented player. He has the final touch, and despite his young age, he has good experience. He worked a lot against Albacete and will be an important player."

Regarding Bellingham: "I saw him well throughout the week. Despite his young age, he has great experience and maturity. He has everything needed to play for Real Madrid. It’s unfortunate he didn’t score, but he is a leader, like Kylian, Fede, Vini... these are the players to rely on when things are not going well because they have the necessary quality."

He continued about Dean Hasson: "I always tell academy players that the center-back position is the hardest. You have to do many things correctly, and Dean returned after a long period of stoppage. Returning from injury is very difficult. We will continue working, and we often forget the ages of these players and the club’s demands, but I believe he will give us a lot."

About Kylian Mbappe and his participation: "We know his knee is not okay. Any other player could have asked to be substituted, but he didn’t. The first thing he did when he welcomed me was to dribble me! Coaching Kylian is something I will keep in my memory for life."

He concluded about the boos against Florentino Perez: "I know where these whistles and campaigns come from. They come from people who do not want good for Real Madrid. For me, it is fortunate to have a president who is the most important in the history of this club alongside Santiago Bernabeu. He has won everything, and I know very well the source of those whistles."
