Carlo Ancelotti has appeared at the press conference prior to the match that Real Madrid will play this Tuesday at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium against Naples (9:00 p.m.). The Italian has analyzed the current situation of the team and the match, second in the Champions League group in this 2022-23 edition, which he arrives at after beating Unión Berlin.
“The Real Madrid shirt is heavy”
The Italian made clear the path to follow to win this match: “There are many options in the eleven, but what I want is to maintain the attitude. “We must defend well because if the goal is kept clean there is a greater chance of winning than losing.” Carletto is clear that “It will be the most difficult match of this group stage, but the team’s shirt Real Madrid pesa. Regarding my past here, going back doesn’t make much sense and I think that when there is no adequate feeling it is better to stop, as we did then, and it is the most correct decision. And after two years I was also able to return to the best team in the world.”
The coach spoke again about Bellingham, of whom he stated that “he has adapted very well, he is showing all the qualities he has and it is not important if someone considers him the best in the world. For me the important thing is that we are the best team in the world. world”.
Another of the topics on which he had to answer several questions was Modric’s substitution, about which he stated: “It is quite surprising that Modric does not have the same role as in the past. He played in the first Champions League game and also in the derby. The competition in the middle is very high and it could happen that he stays on the bench. We have no problems with him nor he with us. I have great respect for him as a player and as a person, but sometimes you have to make that decision which is difficult to make. It is a technical decision and it can change tomorrow or in the next games. Every game there is someone who stays on the bench because there are seven players and only four play. And when I put five you also hit me.”
Valverde: “My dream is to be captain”
Along with Ancelotti, the Uruguayan Federico Valverde also appeared at a press conference, who had words of praise for a Modric who is not starting: “He is a reference in the locker room even though he is not having the minutes he would like. He has never put on a bad face and Luka is a football warrior who continues to make history. “He is an example for us young people who feed off him.”
Furthermore, the Uruguayan has recognized that “Being captain of Real Madrid is one of my dreams since I came to this team. I work for it and it’s a sensation I want to feel.”
