Edu Aguirre drops the bomb from Valdebebas: 'Álvaro Arbeloa already knew it'

The journalist from El Chiringuito has given the latest update on the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa as the new Whites coach

Amid all the commotion caused by the unexpected dismissal of Xabi Alonso and the surprising choice of Álvaro Arbeloa,the information shared by Edu Aguirre could change everything. The journalist from El Chiringuito has traveled this morning to Valdebebas, where the white team will hold its first training session with the new coach, to report on what has happened. Specifically, Josep Pedrerol's right-hand man has shared information that was reserved for very few people and that explains, to a large extent, what has happened in the last few hours.

We must remember that Xabi Alonso arrived at the Spanish Super Cup on the brink after a truly discreet start to the season. The results were positive and Mbappé was carrying the team with his goals, but overall,the feeling was that this was a fragile project, without the necessary foundations for its proper functioning. Xabi asked for Zubimendi in the summer, but Florentino told him that he already had Tchouaméni, Valverde, and Camavinga for that position, and the consequences did not take long to appear.

Thus, on top of the team's discreet play, situations of maximum tension began to arise between some of the locker room's stars and the coaching staff. Xabi Alonso has tried to redirect the situation with multiple measures, but in the end,the last straw for Florentino Pérez was what everyone saw in the Spanish Super Cup. The image shown in the final against Barça, but above all in the semifinal against Atleti, was the sentence for the project that had so excited Madridists.

Now Álvaro Arbeloa will be the one in charge of taking the reins of the first team in order to try to improve the dynamic. The news has been an absolute surprise for almost everyone, since very few people could imagine that Florentino was going to back the reserve team coach, but that is what has happened. However, according to what Edu Aguirre explained this morning live from Valdebebas,Arbeloa had already been informed in advance of what was going to happen.

Edu Aguirre drops the bomb from Valdebebas: "Álvaro Arbeloa already knew it"

Edu Aguirre has traveled this morning to Valdebebas to follow in person Álvaro Arbeloa's debut at the helm of Real Madrid. The team is already preparing tomorrow's match against Albacete in the Copa del Rey, and the new coach has made an important decision that hides a big secret. Yes, because just as they have explained on El Chiringuito,"Arbeloa canceled today's Castilla training session after the Super Cup final".

At first, Edu Aguirre's sentence went unnoticed, but the truth is that it hides much more. According to what it seems,Álvaro Arbeloa was informed before the final of the more than likely dismissal of Xabi Alonso. The information shared by the journalist from El Chiringuito shows that Florentino's decision was not hasty or taken in the heat of the moment, but had already been in the air for some time.

Now it remains to be seen how Álvaro Arbeloa will do in this new adventure. He doesn't have experience, but his Madridist feeling and his strong personality could be exactly what the team needs. We will see.
