Arbeloa breaks silence, Mourinho and Benfica in the eye of the storm | OneFootball

Álvaro Arbeloa broke his silence this Saturday, after reports coming out of Spain of an alleged disagreement with Dani Ceballos, assuring that he will not fuel any controversy in public. "What happens in the Real Madrid dressing room stays in the Real Madrid dressing room. I do not engage in public debates about the situations I have with my players. The first thing I learned when I arrived, 20 years ago, was precisely that," he said.

But it was not only the internal controversy that shaped the press conference. The name of José Mourinho, currently in charge of Benfica, also came up in journalists’ questions, amid rumors linking him as a possible successor on the Real Madrid bench.

Arbeloa’s response was clear and repeated. "I am concerned about tomorrow’s game. It is the only thing I am focused on. For me, the future is tomorrow. I understand these questions, but my answer will always be the same: what matters is tomorrow’s game against Espanyol," he said.

And he insisted, without leaving any room for speculation. "I understand all the questions, but my only answer will always be the same: the future is tomorrow. At Real Madrid, every game is life, because that is how I understand it and live it", he stressed.
