Alvaro Arbeloa believes critics of Rafa Benitez's rotation policy will be silenced by the end of the season.  
The full-back cannot understand the controversy surrounding rotation in England when in Spain it's regarded as essential to succeed.
  
He said: "At Real Madrid everyone accepts that the manager knows what is best.
  
"Players know they cannot play in every match at a super-high level. It is impossible.
  
"The boss knows what he is doing with his players more than anyone else and we will see at the end of the season that he was right to do it his way."
  
Meanwhile, Arbeloa also lifted the lid on life at Melwood by revealing Jermaine Pennant had taken over from Robbie Fowler as the club joker.
  
"He keeps everyone happy," said the Spaniard. "He is always making jokes, singing or dancing and just being crazy.
  
"Every day he walks into the changing room and the noise level goes up a lot. It can be quite quiet depending on who is in, but as soon as Mr Pennant arrives it feels like there are a thousand people in there with you."
