Carte blanche from Arbeloa! Real Madrid’s new coach is full of praise for Vinicius

After a whirlwind of rumors about a locker room rift at Real Madrid between former coach Xabi Alonso and the team’s winger Vinicius Junior, the new coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, is kicking off his tenure with nothing but positivity for the Brazilian star.

Details: At his introductory press conference, Real Madrid’s new coach Álvaro Arbeloa outlined his plans and shared his thoughts on the play of the Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior.

Arbeloa values the player’s past contributions and is counting on more of the same moving forward:

Vini has given us several Champions League titles, I hope no one forgets that.

Now we're going to work hard to find him, give him plenty of balls, so he can keep creating chances, enjoy himself, and get back to the form we all know

Recall, Arbeloa took charge of the team after a defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final (2-3) and has already overseen two matches: a Copa del Rey loss to Albacete (2-3) and a La Liga win over Levante (2-0).
