Arbeloa also praised the performance of Vinícius Júnior, who was once again decisive. “It’s a great Vinícius, and we need to make the most of him. We have to always look for him in one-on-one situations,” said the Spanish coach.

The Merengue coach emphasized that the team still has room for improvement, despite the solidity shown. “It was a very serious and consistent version, but we still have a lot to improve. This team can deliver more,” he assessed.
Regarding the style of play, Arbeloa explained that he intends to exploit the squad’s speed. “I can’t go against the nature of the players. We have fast athletes, strong in open space, and the counterattack will be a weapon throughout the season,” he added.
