Jorge Valdano addressed the reaction of the Bernabeu crowd following the Levante game to Movistar+. The Argentine admitted he was surprised by the nature of the booing and how clearly it was directed.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery surprised. The crowd didn\u2019t share the decision about Xabi,\u201d Valdano said, referring to the dismissal of Xabi Alonso. Rather than a general protest, he highlighted how targeted the reaction was. \u201cIt was a very precise jeer against certain players.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Valdano, the response reflected a fanbase that understands the moment and distinguishes between accountability and rejection. \u201cThe crowd has its opinion and we have to take people into account and respect them,\u201d he said. He pushed back against the idea that the whistles signaled a rupture between the team and supporters and warned Arbeloa about dividing supporters. \u201cIt\u2019s a wise fanbase. We have to be very careful about diving Madridismo between good and bad. This is very dangerous. You can disagree with Florentino Perez and still be a Real Madrid fan, or disagree on everything and still vote for him\u201d.<\/p>\n
Valdano framed the booing as a warning rather than a verdict. \u201cIt\u2019s a yellow card, not a red one,\u201d he concluded, suggesting the message was corrective, not terminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jorge Valdano addressed the reaction of the Bernabeu crowd following the Levante game to Movistar+.
