Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa emphasized that his team will continue to rely on winger Vinicius Junior even though the Brazilian player was the target of jeers from his own supporters in the match against Levante, Saturday (17/1), at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.Arbeloa confirmed that nothing would prevent Vinicius from missing the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League match against AS Monaco at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday (21/1) early morning WIB, other than injury or being unfit.
"Vini (Vinicius) will stay on the pitch as long as he's available and in top condition. He's an extraordinary, fantastic player, and I want the ball at his feet as often as possible because he's so unpredictable," Arbeloa said, as quoted on Real Madrid's official website on Tuesday.
Arbeloa himself defended Vinicius against all criticism and expressed his hope that Real Madrid fans would support every player.
