MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “I am very grateful to the players for what we experienced. I tried to do my best for Real Madrid. There were some disagreements with the players, but that’s normal, and we resolved them with respect. I leave without regrets, with many friends and with gratitude towards the club. I hope to be able to return one day.” Álvaro Arbeloa confirmed on the eve of the match that tomorrow’s match against Athletic Bilbao will be his last match as Real Madrid coach. “I hope it’s a goodbye, I’ve always considered Madrid my home,” the Spanish coach emphasized. “I’ve been part of Real Madrid for 20 years, it’s my home. It will be my last match this season, I don’t know if it will be the last of my life as Real Madrid coach, you never know. I’ll try to enjoy it and focus on winning.”

There had been talk of the possibility of Arbeloa remaining as Mourinho’s assistant, but the person in question cut it short: “Mou has a fantastic technical staff . If he comes here, he’ll come with his group, as is right. There’s no chance I’ll be part of his staff. I’ve spent these four months thinking about Real Madrid, from now I’ll think about myself. I feel ready for new challenges.” Then a joke about Laporta, who called Perez’s press conference on the Negreira case “grotesque”: “We continue to wait for a resolution on a serious case that has stained Spanish football. Many referees from that era are still here, and we have the same feeling. It’s not normal.”
