Álvaro Arbeloa makes it clear: a Real Madrid player is sentenced

Real Madrid beat Levante 2-0 and added three points again at a delicate moment. The result eased tensions and allowed the team to recover a certain calm, but the match left impressions that go beyond the scoreline. It was not a victory to celebrate in a big way, but one to analyze under a magnifying glass.

The team needed to respond after difficult days. The atmosphere had changed quickly and the margin for error had shrunk for everyone. In that context, the match against Levante became a test of character, but also a mirror of the decisions that are being made inside the locker room.

Arbeloa and a new bar of demands

The previous week had been hectic. Álvaro Arbeloa had made his debut as a coach with a painful Copa del Rey elimination against Albacete. Losing to a Second Division opponent set off the alarm and increased the pressure on the new project.

Far from hiding, Arbeloa chose to mark his territory. His message is clear: the name doesn't weigh more than performance. The team against Levante showed organization and a sober approach, but it also made it clear that the coach is evaluating every performance under a magnifying glass and with no room for complacency.

Camavinga, under the spotlight of doubts

One of the names that generates the most debate is Eduardo Camavinga. The midfielder is not delivering the level that is expected of him. His recent performances convey inconsistency, a lack of continuity, and problems keeping up with the pace that the team's new approach demands.

That impression became evident again against Levante. Beyond specific decisions, the message is clear: Camavinga is not delivering the desired performance. His influence on the game has decreased and his impact no longer makes the difference, something that the coaching staff can't ignore.

A serious warning for the locker room

Real Madrid is entering a stage of maximum internal competition. Arbeloa wants a reliable, intense team that is committed in every minute. To achieve that, he doesn't hesitate to point out that collective performance is above any individual expectation.

Camavinga now faces a demanding scenario, he will have to rediscover his best version if he wants to be an undisputed starter again. The coach has made it clear that trust is not infinite and that every match is an exam. In this new Real Madrid, whoever doesn't respond is singled out, and the message has already been received by everyone.
