Khaberni - Alvaro Arbeloa, coach of Real Madrid, settled the debate about the readiness of French star Kylian Mbappé for the upcoming match against Levante in "La Liga".
In a clear and direct answer during the press conference that followed the last training sessions, Arbeloa stated: "Mbappé is in better condition and will be present on the list", thus ending the speculation about the player's absence due to knee pain.
Arbeloa chose to ignore the controversy around Mbappé and reports that he was the reason behind Xabi Alonso's departure, focusing entirely on rearranging the "leadership hierarchy" inside the locker rooms.
Arbeloa focused on boosting the spirits of Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, describing the English star as "the key player" and the leader who will make a difference in building attacks, while defending Vinicius, asserting that he is "the leader awaited" on the field, in a clear indication that future reliance will be on those who show "commitment and spirit" on the field.
Observers considered Arbeloa's exaggerated praise for the duo (Vinny and Bellingham) as a move to restore discipline after a period that witnessed "pampering" of Mbappé excessively, which led to administrative decisions that shook the stability of the "royal" club; starting from sacrificing the talent Endrick and loaning him to Lyon, all the way to firing Xabi Alonso following the "honor guard" incident at the Super Cup, in addition to the technical pressures that affected Vinicius and Rodrigo to make room for the French star.
