The match between Girona and Real Madrid is getting closer. After losing their visit to San Mamés, the Merengue team is looking for a necessary victory to continue fighting for La Liga. In preparation for this imminent clash, Girona player Arnau Martínez has made a more than controversial statement .
“I only admire Carvajal. His mentality, his way of playing,” were the words of the right-back. While his praise for the Real Madrid star is more than evident, so was his disdain for the Real Madrid squad . Having the best players in the world, Arnau’s words have come as a complete surprise.

Some questionable comments
After a great season last season where they qualified for the Champions League, Girona haven't managed to regain that level. With adverse results, the club is hoping to get a win against the reigning champions, Real Madrid. In a desperate attempt to destabilize the team, Arnau made his controversial comments .
His recognition of Carvajal shows what a great example the Spaniard is for future generations. However, Arnau's disdain toward the rest of the Real Madrid squad has been a clear lack of respect . Despite all the achievements that Real Madrid have made in recent years, Arnau hasn't given them their due.
Although everyone is free to have their own opinion, respect is something that must always be maintained . If Arnau really admires Dani Carvajal, he should also learn from the nobility that he has always had.

One more motivation to win
Having lost 5 of their last 11 games, Real Madrid have enough reasons to win . However, Arnau's disdain is an extra reason for the Merengue team to seek a convincing win.
Despite the club's inconsistent season, the squad is focused on ending the year in the best possible way . All the players, moreover, have shown clear respect for Girona, something that Arnau Martínez lacks.
