Since the defeat in Lisbon in January, Arbeloa has made some changes, including tweaking Real’s formation.<\/p>\n

That match was the last time he played with a 4-3-3 formation, where Franco Mastantuono, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr started as the front three.<\/p>\n

In Real’s subsequent three games, Arbeloa has changed to a 4-4-2 set-up, where Mastantuono drops back into midfield to leave Gonzalo Garcia, Vinicius and Mbappe as rotating striker options. <\/p>\n

“Defensively, it’s a structure that closes down the midfield corridor, where there are more players, and allows us to be more compact,” Arbeloa said.<\/p>\n

“With the type of players we have, if we want to counter-attack, it also allows us to do so. We have a lot of room for improvement. I’m very happy because, beyond the systems, the key is effort, mentality, and teamwork, and we’re achieving that.”<\/p>\n

Asked if his team is stronger with four midfielders, Arbeloa explained that “the goal is always to be solid”.<\/p>\n

“It’s very difficult these days to play good football if you’re not solid, compact, and don’t know how to press high up the pitch,” he added.<\/p>\n

“To do all that, you need a lot of concentration, a lot of work and training. [Federico] Valverde, [Eduardo] Camavinga, [Aurelien] Tchouameni, and [Arda] Guler are doing a fantastic job [in midfield], and I don’t need to tell them anything new.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
