Spanish coach Álvaro Arbeloa, at the head of Fulham, has decided not to respond to rumors circulating about a possible dismissal after the lack of victories in the Premier League. In a press conference after the goalless draw with Hull City, the coach emphasized that his priority is the team and not his own continuity. “It's not about me, it's about the club, the players, the fans,” he declared, stressing that his focus is on the next match against Coventry City and improving collective performance.
Arbeloa, who has the club in a position of two points after six days without a win, denied having requested clarifications from the board about his future. According to the coach, his week has been “normal”, dedicated to work and preparation for demanding matches. "It has been a normal week in which we have been working hard. We are preparing for a difficult game against a difficult team. Another week for me," he added, making it clear that his commitment to the club remains intact.
The former Real Madrid player also defended his football vision against the criticism that arose after the change in tactics against Ipswich. Arbeloa insisted that his players must trust the style of play that he has imposed and that he is constantly analyzing how to improve in each match. “I try to analyze what can improve in each game,” he explained, showing his dedication to the team's evolution.
Regarding the relationship with the fans, the coach highlighted its importance for the club. “They are the most important thing about this club,” he said, reminding fans that their support is essential for the team's motivation. Despite the pressure, Arbeloa remains calm and focuses on immediate objectives, hoping that Fulham's performance will translate into positive results in the next matches.
With the Premier League underway, Fulham faces the matches against Hull City and Coventry City as opportunities to change their winless streak. Arbeloa has made it clear that his future is not the main issue at this time; What matters is the team's performance and the satisfaction of the fans. The club will continue to evaluate its performance in the table, but for now the coach remains firm in his commitment to the club and the search for the first victory of the season.
