Regarding the VAR\u2019s silence, the Spanish manager stated: \u201cI don\u2019t understand why VAR didn\u2019t intervene. It steps in when it wants to, and when it doesn\u2019t, it doesn\u2019t. You know my view, and the facts keep proving it. It\u2019s a clear case\u2026 A foul was called on Mbapp\u00e9 for far less than this tackle. More of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the criticism of the attacking duo, Vinicius Junior and Mbapp\u00e9, Arbeloa reiterated his full confidence in their ability. \u201cI\u2019m not worried about players with such statistics; what can I say about two of the best players in the world? We need to improve collectively, especially against teams that sit back defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n
