Charles Ancelotti He has a plan for tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to tell it: “I have something in mind, but it doesn’t seem right to explain it today. Tomorrow you will tell me if I was wrong or not,” he said when questioned about the system and the eleven against Barça.
The first classic of the season arrives and it does so, to the surprise of many, with the Barça team as the leader and playing very good football. Who would have said it just two months ago, when the season began: «They have a very clear idea of their game. It’s a brave team. Play in a different way, much more direct than with Xavi and we respect him a lot. Fortunately, at the moment, no one keeps me up at night,” reflects the Italian.
Ancelotti has no problem recognizing the good play of Flick’s Barça team, but that does not mean that his team is going to go out to the classic with any complexes: “The team is motivated. It will be a disputed classic, and I hope that the second half against Borussia He has told us many things. Usually, in these types of games you don’t have to talk much. The strategy is clear and simple. When I played I worried a lot and Van Basten told me. ‘Look, the strategy is clear, give me the ball and you run to celebrate the goals.’
Goals they are scoring this year Vinicius and Mbappé for Madrid, but not Bellingham. Ancelotti is not worried: «His work is very important to us and he knows the importance he has on our team. Last year, his goals were decisive because we had lost Benzema, but this year we again have a 35-40 goal player. What we need is your work.”
That 35-40 goal player is Mbappe that, at the moment, he is not finding his best version, although his scoring tally is in good numbers. For Ancelotti it is enough: «We are in no hurry with Mbappé. We are already satisfied with what he does. Obviously he is going to do better because he has the quality for it. He is very confident in its quality. “He always contributes.”
