Much has been linked to the name of Zubimendi<\/strong> al Real Madrid<\/strong>. Some believe that he would be the key player that would give balance to the midfield<\/strong> of the white team. However, he doesn’t see it that way<\/strong> and considers that Arbeloa has great footballers in the squad<\/strong> to play that role. On whether he thinks they need him in the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u<\/strong>your answer is clear. “I don’t think so, Real Madrid has plenty of players to do well<\/strong>so no, what goes, what goes…”, he responded last night in ‘The Stringer’<\/strong> from Cadena Ser after qualifying for the Carabao final with Arsenal after knocking down the Chelsea (1-0)<\/strong> with a goal from Havertz in added time<\/p>\n

Merino seems to be fine, but when everyone gets home… I understand that it is harder than you seem.<\/p>\n

Zubimendi also referred to another issue that worries Spanish fans, the Mikel Merino injury<\/strong>his partner in Arsenal<\/strong>problems that could affect him even in the face of next summer’s World Cup. How are you feeling? “He is in pain, he is a person who is very professional, who takes care of himself<\/strong> and who always thinks about what is best for the club. I know that the one who hurts the most is him, but “The damage that his injury has done to the club is great.”<\/strong>assured Zubimendi. “Let’s see, he seems fine, but when everyone gets home… I understand that it is harder than you seem<\/strong>. I know he is going to do everything possible to get there (with the national team), and if he doesn’t get there it will be a bitch. Let’s see what happens,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Spanish teams should never be ruled out, Barcelona reached the semi-finals last year, Real Madrid is Real Madrid and Atl\u00e9tico has plenty of players<\/p>\n

The difficulty of the Champions<\/h2>\n

About the options of Arsenal, which was first in the League Phase,<\/strong> to conquer the Champions League<\/strong> It was prudent. “This is about winning it, the classification is very good<\/strong>but let’s see who wins it. It is true that the adaptation to the league has been good, but I have noticed that the matches are very demanding, that everyone puts pressure on you<\/strong> and that the level is very high. Spanish teams should never be ruled out, Barcelona reached the semi-finals last year, Real Madrid is Real Madrid and Atl\u00e9tico has plenty of players. “I don’t know, the Champions League is different and anything can happen.”<\/strong>Zubimendi finished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
