"I've been whistled a lot too, and what makes us great is the high standards of this club... [Fans] know we can give much more, to be at Real Madrid's level."
"We haven't had a good week, and the fans have every right to whistle. Now I have to earn their affection as coach. They were whistles for me as well."
"I know where the noise comes from, these campaigns. They're not from people who don't like Florentino. They're from people who don't like Real Madrid. They're not going to fool me... We Madrid fans are aware of what Florentino has done for this club."
Real Madrid endured a difficult week, losing the Supercopa final to Barcelona, sacking Xabi Alonso, and exiting the Copa del Rey to second-tier Albacete. Bernabéu fans whistled the team throughout the La Liga win over Levante, focusing on Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, although second-half goals from Kylian Mbappé and Raúl Asencio produced a 2-0 victory that left Madrid one point behind Barcelona. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa acknowledged the poor week, accepted fans' right to whistle, pledged to earn their affection, and rejected chants demanding president Florentino Pérez's resignation as driven by campaigns against the club.
