The Real Madrid defender has heaped praise upon the professionalism exhibited by his team’s captain, after he was controversially dropped by manager Jose Mourinho
Real Madrid’s right back, Alvaro Arbeloa has stated his amazement at the exhibition of true professionalism by Los Blancos skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and Real Madrid captain was controversially dropped by his manager Jose Mourinho for their latest La Liga game against Malaga CF. 2nd choice goalkeeper Antonio Adan was given the nod ahead of the legendary skipper for
the game and he did not avail his chance well as he suspect of a bad performance in the game.
Real and Malaga both were hungry for the three points that were at stake and it was 4th placed Malaga who showed a greater desire as they ran out 3-2 winners in the show.
Star midfielder Isco opened the scoring for the home side as he scored from the edge of the area and Adan was seen as to be at fault for his positioning in the attack.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roque-Santa-Cruz-c31778 punished the defending champions with a beautifully
taken brace.
Adan was beaten twice and again his positioning and awareness was brought to question, as Real sorely missed their benched captain.
With the scores at 3-1 to the home side, Benzema again gave them a life-line by reducing the deficit to 3-2, but it was a little too late for the men in white as Malaga hung on to their lead and saw the game out.
Mourinho’s decision was criticised heavily afterwards, including strict comments from Real legends and people associated to the famous club.
Casillas however accepted the decision with grace and stated that he will accept his manager’s call.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282 has now stated that he is hugely impressed by the attitude of Iker and it demands a great deal of professionalism for acting in a manner that Casillas adopted.
"Casillas has had exemplary behaviour," he told reporters.
"He supports Adan in training more than ever, showing what a great professional he is. We've all been through some time on the bench. This has been given too much importance."
"In the dressing room, we are not talking about Iker being dropped, because each week we should speak about the next starting XI."
Arbeloa is currently contracted to Real Madrid after completing a deal from English side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, some years back.
