In a key match of the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid visited the Estadio de la Cerámica and successfully defeated Villarreal, who are currently ranked third in the league, 2-0.

After the match, Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa not only highly praised the team's performance in the difficult away game at the press conference, but also commended the team's unbreakable locker room unity.

Facing a Villarreal team with an excellent coach and home advantage, Arbeloa frankly stated that this was one of the toughest away games in La Liga. He defined the victory as a collective triumph and highly praised the players' execution.

“This team has shown incredible seriousness and solidity,” Arbeloa analyzed. Although the recent tight schedule has squeezed time for tactical drills, he believes the team has successfully controlled the game thanks to the players’ natural instincts, especially their ability to counter-attack using space and speed.

Compared to the analysis of tactics and techniques, Arbeloa spent more time emphasizing the team's spirit. He revealed that in the ten days since he took over the team, what has pleased him most is not the three-point shooting, but a group of young men who truly appreciate each other and compete healthily.

Arbeloa stated, "This is the first fundamental principle of team sports: unity and sacrifice. Even those players who didn't play gave their all in training. It may seem like only 11 people won the game, but in reality, it was everyone's achievement."

This victory not only solidified Real Madrid's position in the standings but also sent a signal to the outside world: under Arbeloa's guidance, the team is rediscovering its most valuable asset – team cohesion.
