Do not waste the advantage obtained. Ancelotti’s challenge is to maintain the lead with that margin of points that gives some peace of mind in a team that he never has her around and what should earn it with the dregs of experience. Real Madrid defends its condition against Athletic, a deceptive duel after achieving three victories, since trust is the worst enemy.
ABC asked him about the fuss that Sevilla generated for Alaba’s alleged penalty on Ocampos. The technician analyzed the situation harshly: «Sevilla got a bit angry, but the referee said at the beginning of the season that penalties were not whistled. And they did not whistle the play of Praise on Ocampos or Diego Carlos on Vinicius. They were penalties and I agree that they are not whistled.
The referees only want to whistle penalties, which are very clear and I agree ».
The Italian valued the Ballon d’Or awarded to Messi and if he would have voted for him: «Messi is a great player, but I would have voted for the Real Madrid players. But I have not seen Karim and Courtois cry today for not having won it. They are individual awards. He would have chosen Benzema first, Vinicius second, Courtois third, Casemiro fourth, Kroos fifth, Camavinga sixth … Messi … if he is the best it is a personal opinion. I have said Karim ».
He reflected on his leadership: “I don’t know if we are clear or not, we are going to compete to win it. We are doing well. We are playing with continuity. The team has always competed, he has tried to do his best. The points we have in the table are deserved ».
Speak Hazard state, who has missed three straight games: «Hazard is fine, he has suffered a gastroenteritis and has nothing else. He has coach with the group and will be called up today. It is a physical problem, he has to improve his condition because he has had problems of various kinds. Taking minutes will improve your condition. We have a lot of games, it’s fine and I think it will have minutes.
He praised Alaba and Militao: “They combine their qualities very well. Militao has more physical quality, Alaba tactically is more used to the line of four. I highlight Nacho, who also he has a good combination between the two because he can play right to left. I know he likes to play central. We are fine in this regard. We have to improve because sometimes the four of us do not work well together, one is ahead or behind. That is the day-to-day work so that the four of them think in the same way.
Vinicius and the youth revolution is always a reference when talking about Real Madrid. Ancelotti was clear: «Vinicius knows his position in this template. He is humble and knows that he is not a star and that is what I stand out the most ».
