Arbeloa: "I'm very proud, this team has both talent and self-sacrifice." | OneFootball

Álvaro Arbeloa analysed the win against Almería that saw the Under-19s win the Copa del Rey title on Realmadrid TV. The Madrid coach said: "It was a game in which we suffered more than we should have. I'm very happy because I think we played a great game. We suffered, but you also have to know how to suffer. The first objective of the season has been achieved.

"I'm very proud, I don't know if I'll ever have a team like this one because of the way they are as people and as professionals and the determination they show every day. They are hungry to improve. In four days we have another very important game to get us into the Final Four of the Youth League, so in five minutes we'll be thinking about that game."

Talent and hard work "These are kids who know what they want. A lot of people talk about the talent of this team. If there's one thing they have, it's effort, dedication and sacrifice. When they take the field they feel they are the best in the world, but they know that anyone can beat them. If you add to that the talent they have, for me they are an unbeatable team." Pol: "We are very happy." "It's a very important day for me and I'd like to dedicate the title to my family. Now, it's time to enjoy it and then keep working. We are very happy, we know the importance of this title. Now we have to rest and go all out for the Youth League match. The team's secret is to work hard every day and play as a team."

Gonzalo: "It's a well-deserved victory." "We are very happy, we suffered a little at the end but we battled it out and the win is well-deserved. The secret is work and daily sacrifice. We're in a good dynamic as a team."
