Who was going to say in August, when the Noria of the 24-25 course began to turn, that Madrid was going to play the season (or a large part of it) on March 12. Normal, if his Champions had been the usual, is that the eighth would have been nothing more than a procedure, but they are not. Nor was the Ring of Repesca. Everything that is not going to rooms can have consequences for the medium term, but Carletto He prefers to take away drama: «It is a party that allows us to continue dreaming of this competition as we have done in previous years. It is true that this year’s eighths are more complicated than other eighths. All matches with Atlético are very even and decide for small details, but we have confidence that it will go well ».
Carletto gave none of the possible eleven. Everything indicates that it will be the same first leg team, with Camavinga Again next to Tchouaméni. If it were not him, it would be Modric, but the Croatian has never played two title games in a row this season: “Do not worry Luka, that I do not look at the statistics to make an alignment,” said the Italian. Surely, more public love than reality of what you are going to do.
The Italian believes that the game will not decide only the eleven headlines: «I have more than eleven players who can play this game. A well done change can make a difference ». If so, who wins the tie, players or coaches? The question of this newspaper caused him an ironic laugh: «Those responsible for victory are the players, you have already had it … the coach. But it is not a problem of Madrid, It is a problem of the figure of the coach. The sole responsible for defeat is the coach. I take it well because I know that I am in a job in which many want to be and I understand that I must have that responsibility ».
The same one that Cholo has, with whom he has a face to face of maximum equality. Surely it is no accident: “We have a very similar idea and the two teams we can play in offensive mode, in defensive mode or counterattack,” reflects a Ancelotti He returned to his theory of running and setting the difference: «If you run a lot you can tie the game. If you mark the difference, you are likely.
Finally, the Italian was asked to argue a possible choice of penalties. Carlo It was very sincere: «In a penalty training you see that there are players who throw better than others. So when we make the list of penalties, we take into account what we have seen in training, but we do not take into account the mental aspect. I have had players who throw very well penalt that did not have the feeling to throw it. The mental aspect than the technician is more important. I have won Champions with defenses that threw penalties in the 2003 final. Like Serginho, Nesta and Kaladze. If the player is honest he can lift his arm and not throw it away. It’s not bad to do that. You just have to take responsibility when you mentally are well ».
