Arbeloa on Carvajal, Trent, Mbappe, Militao, Vinicius ...

Real Madrid C.F.

Betis

"It is a team that achieved a very important victory last Tuesday and is recovering players of great importance. There is no need to explain the kind of opponent Betis is, the players they have, and the coach, for whom I have the utmost respect and affection. It will be a match of the highest demand for us."

White demand

"Our goal has to be to win all six matches, regardless of what Barcelona does. We need to have a great performance, continue growing and improving many things in La Liga. We are only concerned with winning tomorrow and then we will focus on the rest of the games."

Motivation

"My main goal should not be the motivation of the Real Madrid players. They have to have a very high level of self-demand. I have to prepare them for what they will face on the pitch, to have a very clear game plan. That is what I dedicate the most time to."

Carvajal (the first)

1.970.000€-310.000€ 3

"My response was serious and curt. I found the question out of place. You can ask anyone how I speak about Dani Carvajal. What you are trying to do is not justified. Carvajal is doing very well. He is important on and off the field. More than once I have said that he is the most important youth academy product at the club. I have always had a great relationship with him. I have always treated him with respect. For anyone to think that I make lineups for personal reasons... it is hard for me to think that a coach makes lineups for anything other than football reasons."

Only 22% of the minutes for Carvajal (the second)

"The reason Dani doesnt play is that only 11 can play. Thats why I say that I am and have to be unfair with the players. I see them train and many do a great job. There is no more. That does not mean I am not happy with the players work."

Carvajal renewal

"Regarding his continuity I can only say that whatever makes the club and the player happy will be good."

Does he like Trent more than Carvajal?

"He is showing a good level, he deserves to play, a performance beyond all doubt. Every game means everything to me; when I put a player in it is because I believe he deserves it and because I think it is to win, I dont give anyone a minute as a gift."

Is he taking a risk?

"My objective is that Real Madrid wins every time it plays. Not my job. The six remaining matches are vital for us. We have to make a very big effort, and I have told the players to only think about Madrid."
