Decisive test for Arbeloa against Benfica

The coaching situation around Madrid's "Real" club has once again become pressing, sparking extensive discussions. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

In particular, the 1:2 defeat against "Osasuna" has drawn even more attention to this issue. It is said that this result has somewhat diminished the trust in coach Alvaro Arbeloa within the club.

Now all focus is on the return match against "Benfica" in the UEFA Champions League playoff stage. This match is seen not just as an ordinary game but as a decisive confrontation that could determine Arbeloa's future.

The match, scheduled for February 25, will be an important test for the coach. According to the Spanish media, including the Sport.es publication, the mood within the club is not good.

While the players are losing confidence in the ongoing processes around the team, the management is facing difficulties in understanding Arbeloa's tactical decisions. Some decisions seem to be made just to please the players.

Especially the substitutions made during the game raise many questions, as they do not always appear logical. The "Real" club is always a place where results are demanded.

Here, the principle of "participation is the goal" does not apply. Therefore, if the match against "Benfica" ends in failure, there is a possibility of terminating the contract with the 43-year-old coach.

However, the management has also emphasized that they want to avoid such a decision. Because so far, no suitable and prepared candidate has been found for the head coach position.

Moreover, appointing a new coach mid-season could negatively affect the team's stability. In conclusion, February 25 is not an ordinary date for Arbeloa.

In this game, the team’s confidence will either be restored or new problems will begin to emerge on the field itself. Source: Sport.es.
