CCarlo Ancelotti began the press conference remembering Levante, the first team to be relegated in the League. He then praised the intensity of his team throughout the match, which in his opinion is the best way to prepare for the final.
Support for Levante
“I want to send a message of support to Levante, to their coach… It’s a great club and I’m sure they’ll return to the First Division soon”
Vini and Benzema
“It is the merit of the work of a team and then time has helped the two to understand each other. They have combined very well and have played very well”.
The system against Liverpool
“It will be a 4-3-3 that can sometimes go on to a 4-4-2. There is no defined system, because sometimes to put pressure on the pivot you change. Against City we started 4-3-3 and then went on to a 4-4-1-1 to put Modric over Rodrigo. It depends on the match.”
Courtois y Lunin
“Lunin is going to play against Cádiz and Courtois against Betis”
How does Madrid reach the final?
“We arrived in good shape because our self-esteem has grown a lot. We have the challenge of the final, we are happy for Laliga. There is still time left for the final and we have to maintain the intensity. The team has worked very well on the pitch and has given a good signal” .
The best coach in Europe?
“It is difficult to answer this. I do not like to give myself votes, others give them to me. I am living a happy moment and I hope this lasts a long time.”
Fede Valverde
“Valverde has an incredible shot and he has to do this, you have to take advantage of it. The physical aspect and the verticality is rare today in midfielders and Fede has all this”
The plan against Cádiz
“Those who haven’t played against Levante will play, like Kroos, Casemiro, Militao… And also Hazard”
