Matchday 12
The Italian coach was skeptical about the situation of Eden Hazard, who is increasingly distant from being an important player at Real Madrid, and did not even deny the possibility of him leaving the club in future markets.
Eden Hazard’s situation at Real Madrid is far from taking off. In the words of his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, he is still far from being an important player for the white team and even an exit in future markets cannot be ruled out. «Of course we have to take into account the thinking of each player. I have never forced a player who wants to leave to stay. If a player asks to leave, you have to let him leave, in my opinion there is no doubt about this, “said the Italian after being asked about his position regarding any transfer, with the complex situation of the Belgian footballer as a background.
If Hazard is the cross, Vinicius is the face. The Brazilian is a pillar for his coach, who for now is not considering giving him rest but to continue betting on his verticality and youth to unbalance the games: «Vinicius is well and is very young, so he recovers better than others. The day he does not maintain his physical form, he will be able to go to the bench but for now he will continue.
Another footballer who seems to have a fixed place in the eleven is Luka Modric, rested after falling off the list against Osasuna and ready again to guide Madrid from the center of the field: «Modric is fine. He’s going to train today, he trained yesterday and he’s going to play tomorrow because he just felt tired.
«I am convinced that VAR is a good invention. He has fixed a lot of things in the objective things, like offside, but in the subjective things like the hands he is slower. So far he has fixed a lot of things. There are some rules that are complicated for me. The offside that has come out in recent times is unfair for me, because when a player is offside they are. It is the difference between what is objected and what is subjective, which in the end is as always an arbitration interpretation, “continued the Italian coach regarding the arbitration controversy, unleashed in recent days after a possible penalty to Vinicius not whistled at Real Madrid -Osasuna, with the loss of time in the hurricane eye, and also the controversial penalty by Lodi’s hand in Levante-Osasuna. “It is a football problem and we have to fix it, because there are many stoppages and it is not good for the show,” he added in relation to the loss of time during matches.
“I don’t think you can say that the referees are better or worse depending on each league, but rather different. I can say that today Spanish football is more global than in my first stage, in the sense that it is more physical and better defensively. More direct and vertical and less focused on possession. I liked what Iraola said the other day about the long pass because it is a good weapon. There is no better or worse football that makes you win or lose, but the coach must adapt to the characteristics of his players, “Ancelotti analyzed.
The aim
Already in the purely tactical and management aspect of his team, the Madrid coach acknowledged that they also need to work on attacking aspects, although he attributed some bad results to the lack of aim: “We also need to work on the offensive aspect. You work to create opportunities and we have had them in the game against the Sheriff and Osasuna and we have not got them. Taking advantage of opportunities means positioning yourself better, moving better without the ball and that can also be improved and we have to work on it ».
«The 4-3-3 is not non-negotiable, it can be changed but I am convinced that it is the system with which the players are most comfortable. He has satisfied me in the last games and I think we can continue like this », he concluded regarding the tactical drawing that convinces him the most.
