Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the media to analyze the news about Real Madrid and the next Clásico against Barcelona. The Italian coach was optimistic about the state of the team and the chances of winning the LaLiga title.
Ancelotti praised the strength of the team, highlighting the commitment and lack of egos among the players. He also praised Rüdiger's performance in the penalty shootout against Manchester City and Mendy's importance to the team.
MANCHESTER
“I suffered more against Chelsea because we were out of the tie. Against City we were classified for many minutes and very few eliminated, that also explains the low block. More difficulty against City, more suffering against Chelsea.”
RODRYGO GOES
“I see him very well. He has had delicate moments because he did not score and it was difficult to manage the moment, but he has always worked and scored again. For us it is very important. He is plugged in and tomorrow he will rest… until 9 “
RÜDIGER AND THE PENALTY
“On Monday we rehearsed and he scored the three. The technical aspect is secondary, the emotional aspect is more important. You have to be calm and confident, the players have to be honest and sincere. There are times when it is difficult to find five to shoot and the other day There were more than five who wanted to shoot. We chose the ones who were most convinced.
FERLAND MENDY
“He has a contract, he is very important for us. He cares about contributing and he does it fantastically. For us he is the best in the world. Dribbling him is not easy, we see it in every training session.”
THE SEASON
“We are doing well. The cake is ready and we just need the icing on the cake this month. We are doing well, recovering the players and we have to put the icing on the cake this month.”
LUKA MODRIC
“He will never accept being the disruptor. He has the same quality and enthusiasm as 10 years ago, which is why he will never accept being the disruptor.”
PAU CUBARSÍ AND LAMINE YAMAL
“The connection between veterans and young people is very important. Cubarsi and Yamal are a surprise for everyone, they are very young and are going to have a very successful future.”
ABOUT THE CLASSIC
“It will be a very competitive rival, who is doing very well. We are convinced that it will be a classic as always, it will be very hard fought. It is a great opportunity to get closer to LaLiga. Barcelona is a very lively team.”
FEDE VALVERDE
“It is difficult to say what he can improve. His season is the season of continuity. He is a team player and that is decisive. Where I put him, he contributes. He contributes as a winger, as a pivot, he gives assists, goals. He is irreplaceable for my”.
EDER MILITAO
“Tomorrow he could be a starter. He is fine, training, he just needs minutes. He wants to play and could be an option for tomorrow.”
THE PENALTIES VS CITY
“We usually ask the players how they are, it's an important moment and you have to be ready. Everyone helped, Kepa, we had a lot of reports on the pitchers and it went well. Llopis did a great job.”
NACHO AND ITS RENEWAL
“He has to decide his future. He played a spectacular game, as a top-level defender, as he is, has been and continues to be. A great centre-back.”
FAREWELL TO CASEMIRO
“He was a legend and when he leaves it is an exciting moment not only for me but for all Real Madrid fans”
CRITICISM OF THE APPROACH
“It doesn't surprise me, everyone can give their opinion. You have to manage the defensive and offensive aspects. There are games in which you have the ball less than normal and you have to do it well. I haven't seen any Madrid fans sad yet. We are happy. There is a saying in Spain that says: “Talk to me about the sea, sailor.”
THE PHYSICAL MOMENT OF THE TEAM
“The team has been recovering. There are players who need one more day, like Mendy. They will all be in the squad. Mendy was tired and we have given him a day of rest.”
