Real Madrid manager, Alvaro Arbeloa has explained why his team was defeated against Osasuna in the LaLiga on Saturday.

Arbeloa watched as the Los Blancos lost 2-1 at Osasuna as Vinicius Junior’s goal was not enough to earn a point for the visitors.

Speaking at his post-match interview after the game, the Spaniard admitted that his players lack a lot of speed in their game against the hosts.

“The first half was one where we had quite a bit of control at times, but we lack a lot of speed in our play against any low block.

“Either you move the ball much faster, or they will defend you very easily. It is something we need to keep improving and working on.

“We must be able to break through on both sides, that is right and left flanks.”

The outcome of the match means Real Madrid are two points ahead of Barcelona in the LaLiga table, but will drop to second position if the Blaugrana beat Levante on Sunday.
