Arbeloa asks UEFA to “change the format of the Youth League”

Alvaro Arbeloa This Wednesday he publicly questioned senior officials of UEFA to change the format of Youth League. “I want the competition to be similar to the seniors, with round-trip qualifying rounds,” said the coach of Real Madrid Youth A, who qualified this Wednesday for the quarterfinals after defeating (2-0) in a match against RB Leipzig german within Alfredo Di Stefano.

AC Milan will face a merengue team in the quarterfinals in the Italian lands, once again a single match, a circumstance that Arbeloa seems to have disliked, considering that in two matches “Everyone will be more equal and fair. I want UEFA to give a twist to the tournament format,” while recalling that “it was also unfair for Leipzig to have to walk away. We were lucky enough to play in the round of 16 at home and now we have to do it away. We know how complicated it is, but it is what it is,” he declared with a resigned tone on the social networks of the white club.

Arbeloa did not like his team’s game

Despite the victory against Leipzig, Arbeloa was not entirely satisfied with the match his team played. “It’s certainly not the best of our games. We weren’t comfortable or well on the ball. We need to be more accurate in attack and organized in the last line, possibly as a result of the tension. You’ve never seen Juvenil A so dominant on the ball,” he owns Although Arbeloa pointed out that “we faced a physical and strong opponent, who defended well and applied pressure.”

Finally, Arbeloa commented that “when you are at Real Madrid you know the importance of playing in Europe. The excitement is huge, but We know how difficult it is to win the Youth League. “If we want this title we have to provide a higher level than what we offer now.”
