Real Madrid Urges Supporters to Encourage, Not Jeer, Players in Upcoming Match Against Levante: Report

Real Madrid has reportedly appealed to its fanbase to refrain from booing the team during their upcoming La Liga match against Levante at the Santiago Bernabéu. This plea comes after a tumultuous week for the club, marked by significant disappointments.

The series of setbacks began with a defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. The situation worsened with the departure of Xabi Alonso as manager after only seven months in charge. To compound matters, the team suffered a 3-2 defeat against second-division side Albacete in the Copa del Rey, resulting in their elimination from the competition.

According to reports, the Grada Fans, the organized and vocal supporters' section at the Bernabéu, were planning a protest, including booing and whistling, during the Levante game. However, club officials have contacted the fan group, urging them to reconsider their plans and support the team. The club's message emphasizes the importance of the fans' backing during this difficult period. They believe that historically, Real Madrid has achieved success when the Bernabéu faithful have rallied behind the players.

Álvaro Arbeloa, the new manager, echoed this sentiment, acknowledging the fans' frustration but appealing for their support. He stressed the significance of the match against Levante and the motivation of playing at the Bernabéu. Arbeloa is seeking his first win with Real Madrid on his Bernabeu debut. He will field the strongest possible team.

Despite the recent setbacks, Levante's coach, Luis Castro, has downplayed the notion of a Real Madrid crisis. He acknowledged Real Madrid's quality and determination to win, regardless of their recent struggles. Castro stated that there is never a good time to face Real Madrid, crisis or not.

The match against Levante is crucial for Real Madrid as they aim to stay competitive in La Liga, where they trail Barcelona by four points. The team is determined to focus on La Liga and the Champions League.

Real Madrid's senior management has reportedly placed the primary blame for the team's recent struggles on the players. The club is planning significant changes for the next season. The team has been told that the situation is critical and that every player must give their all. The club still has confidence in Arbeloa and hopes he can turn things around.

The match atmosphere will likely be heavily influenced by recent defeats and poor attitudes during matches.
