Marca: Arbeloa’s efforts to build Real Madrid’s “youth army” have yielded results, with many statistics better than last year

According to "Marca" report, Real Madrid Castilla head coach Arbeloa's "youth army" is reaping results. The team has recently won two consecutive games, and many statistics this season are better than the same period last year.

So far this season, the average age of Castilla’s starting lineup in 6 of 7 league games is only 19 years old. With this young team, the team achieved 3 wins and 9 points after 7 rounds, ranking 12th in the league. In the same period last year, the team only achieved 1 victory and 6 points, ranking 18th. In addition, the team only needed 7 rounds to complete its two consecutive wins and first away win which took 20 rounds last season.

Arbeloa emphasized the team's progress in the interview. He believed that the team's previous losses were not due to lack of strength, but due to mistakes made by young players. He said: "For now, no team plays like Castilla, but we must learn to compete like others."

He further revealed that keeping a clean sheet and scoring the first goal are the team's key goals. Meanwhile, Arbeloa praised the team's unity and called the away win at Ponferradina "a turning point" that proved talent must be combined with competition and teamwork. He said he was very lucky to coach such an "excellent group."
