Real Madrid secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica, in what many consider one of the team’s best performances of the season. The players shone brightly under the guidance of new manager Álvaro Arbeloa.
This squad displayed remarkable cohesion, bolstering the club’s chances of competing for the La Liga title. Among the standout players was 20-year-old Dean Hoesen, who received direct praise from Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez for his impressive performance, with the president emphasizing the club’s need for Hoesen’s consistent form.
Hoesen, in whom Real Madrid invested nearly €60 million last summer, is proving his promising future. His performance in this recent match convinced everyone, including Pérez, of his worthiness for a place in the starting lineup.
With Rüdiger and Militão still sidelined, Real Madrid’s central defensive pairing consisted of Dean Hoesen and Raúl Asensio. The duo delivered a complete performance, instilling confidence and defensive solidity in the team,a marked improvement from their previous form.
Real Madrid now appears to be on a clear upward trajectory, with both defensive and tactical improvements under Arbeloa’s guidance. Fans are beginning to see a glimmer of hope at the end of a promising season. With Hoesen and Asensio shining, the team seems to have the tools to achieve its ambitions this season.
