Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the preview of the match that will take place this Wednesday (9:00 p.m.) between Real Madrid and Naples on the fifth day of the group stage of the 2023-24 Champions League. The Italian began by cutting off any rumors about his future as a Madrid coach, since his contract ends in June 2024 and he still does not have any renewal offer from the white team. “I go back to what I said at the beginning of the season. “I don’t talk about my future,” she declared categorically, settling the matter.
Asked if he sees himself as Simeone during 15 years at the club, he noted “Simeone is a special case, like Ferguson or Wenger. Congratulations to Cholo for spending fifteen years at Atlético.” Questioned again about his future, he responded to the journalist: “I give you the opportunity to ask another question.” And he was also asked about the relationship he has with the club compared to others he has been through: “Obviously, I have affection for all the teams I have been able to work for. I don’t want to disrespect anyone by choosing one or making one.” a classification, but “I have something special with Milan, for being a player and coach, and something special with Madrid, for being the biggest club in the world.”
Plague of injuries
Regarding the team’s situation, with many injured, he noted: “We shouldn’t talk much about injured players because it disrespects those who are going to play, who are doing very well. We have to think about those we have, who are contributing in ways that were never expected. You didn’t believe it, but I’m telling you it’s a very good squad.” He also made a statement for the quarry: “I have confidence in them and they’re getting on the list. “Those who are in the quarry are ready to play with us.”
Furthermore, he defended Xavi, who is now going through a difficult time due to the game and Barça’s results: “Xavi, like me, knows that there is criticism sometimes and that it is normal. “He has the experience to handle himself in this world, he has all the resources to handle this situation well.” And then he praised Bellingham once again, of whom he said: “He is intelligent, mature, very serious and very professional, as well as a great soccer player who can easily adapt to playing in any country.”
Regarding this Wednesday’s match against Naples, he showed his concern about the quality of the rival: “The match against Naples allows us to finish the group stage first, where until now we have done very well and we want to play the best possible match. Mazzari is a friend and is a great coach. The first leg was a highly contested match, with different phases and alternatives. This one back will be no different. His cons are very dangerous and it is an aspect that we must avoid.” And he concluded by talking about Lunin, of whom he said that “he has earned the possibility of competing with Kepa with his good performances. “There is competition in goal and that is what the team has won.”
Carvajal, against the calendar
The Real Madrid full-back noted that “I am contributing to the team offensively and I feel very confident. We are very focused on finishing first in the group.” Regarding the calendar, he warned that “the calendar is very demanding and with the new Club World Cup there is not a single summer that you do not have competition. There are too many games and it is no coincidence that there are so many injuries. The solution? The players have the power to do something, but it is difficult to get everyone to agree because not everyone plays so many games. “We have never said that we do not lower our salary, we cannot squeeze the player because in the end the game loses quality.” These injuries, for the full-back, “open opportunities for other teammates who are not having as many minutes and must be more prepared. And it may be that this adds another factor and I am convinced that they will help us get closer to our goals.” Regarding the rival, the Spanish international declared that “we are waiting for a world-class rival who will come to seal their qualification to the round of 16 by winning at the Bernabéu.” About Ancelotti’s permanence he positioned himself pointing out that “I hope he continues as long as he and the club want because he is the best coach for Real Madrid. I would renew it tomorrow.”
