The mystery of the name of Alvaro Arbeloa’s successor on the Real Madrid bench for next season is something that everyone has been talking about in recent days. Former players of the white team such as Alvaro Benito, singer of the musical group Pignoise, who expressed his opinion from his position as a commentator on Carrusel Deportivo de la Cadena SER.

“When I started training, I researched a lot about his model and I heard him once saying that his first year in teams is not usually good. He raises the level of demand in training so much for his style of play that many players get injured, others fall by the wayside and he already interprets which players are valid for his model for the following season, which is when they start to get going,” he explained. This reality would clash with the demands of Real Madrid, who have gone two seasons without major titles.
Klopp’s model also does not seem to be compatible with the management model at Real Madrid, where the figure of the coach is usually the weakest link: “He is not going to come here. The thing is that Xabi Alonso came here and although the team was better than it ended up being, it was far from resembling what he wanted football-wise.
