Real Madrid: Ancelotti: “In my 30-year career, only two players have told me not to play them because they were tired”

Carlo Ancelotti has given the press conference prior to tomorrow’s game against Getafe and el Coliseum from 9:00 p.m. The coach has explained Benzema’s absence and has also insisted on recovering the defensive security that the team exhibited last season and that led them to win the double. The coach admits that the renewal of Kroos it already depends on the player and does not speak of Haaland.

Cmo est Benzema: “He has played two games in a row after a month and he is a bit loaded. He is not ruled out for tomorrow and if it is good to be in the game. I think he has had this injury that has stopped him a bit, but I see the usual Karim . We are not worried about anything in this regard. He is doing and is going to do what he always does, really.”

defensive problems: “The defensive aspect is very important in this team and it has been the key to success and where we have to be more focused. That is why everyone’s commitment is going to be important. It is true that we have not always been compact and we have lost duels. It is not a relaxation, these are things that happen”.

He fears that the players will put the brakes on for the World Cup: “I don’t think so, for us it is important to evaluate fatigue well. The player is not so sincere in this sense. He will say that he is fine, sometimes not being sincere in this sense costs you injury and I prefer the player who tells me who prefers to stop. But in 30 years only two players have told me: Pepe in a Champions League final and Seedorf in a League match”.

Around the defensive aspect: “It’s a team that fights, very well organized at the back. It’s a complicated game, the psychological aspect is the one that worries me the least, although it’s important because this team has shown that it’s very strong in that. Sometimes we have to defend better. It’s the team thinking. What we have to do is defend better”.

What Madrid are we going to see this season, high or low block: “A Madrid that does not have a single identity, that is what we are going to see. There are games that with a low block can have more advantage. It will be a season with not just one Madrid”.

If the defensive mismatches have to do with the new ones: “I don’t think it’s because of the arrival of the new ones. We have a very strong defense both individually and collectively. It has also been seen that this team is very strong defensively”.

Cmo is Courtois: “You have to think about whether the trip to Warsaw is the best idea, but I think I’ll be there for the Clsico.”

Rdiger’s adaptation: “He knows very well that he is very important to us, he is a world-class central defender like Militao, Alaba and Nacho. Bearing this in mind, Nacho has always delivered, and with these four central defenders we are doing very well. It is true that Nacho has rested more than the others but may later play more than the others.

The future of Kroos, who ends his contract: “He is very well mentally and physically. He is always smiling, he never gets angry, he feels the pressure of the games. He always tells me that he is not nervous when I ask him before the games. If he wants to renew Real Madrid, he will be happy. The renewal is in the works.” his hand”.

Haaland as a replacement for Benzema: “I’m not talking about Haaland.”

What stands out about Rodrygo: “Rodrygo is an intelligent person, very calm, he works seriously, mature, although he is still very young.”
