A Week with Carlo Ancelotti: Preparing for Betis, Goalkeeping Debate, and Injury Updates

It was not a usual week for Carlo Ancelottiwho for the first time in months had a whole week to work with his players. The King’s Cup It doesn’t arrive for Madrid until the Three Kings weekend and that allowed the Italian coach to have a week without games. It seemed strange to the technician, although he appreciates it. To complete the strangeness of the week, even the press conference changed the usual schedule and was in the early afternoon. Madrid plays Betis tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. and that caused a change in the agenda.

Training at game time and evening trip to sleep in Seville. Betis waits.

The green and white team Arouses a lot of respect and admiration from the Real Madrid coach. Ancelotti never hesitates to point out Pellegrini as one of the best coaches in LaLiga and tomorrow he will have as a rival one of the players with whom he had the most feeling in his first stage: Isco Alarcón. Francisco, as Carletto calls him, will always be special for the Italian coach, because with his goal he achieved his first victory as coach of Real Madrid. Against Betis, curiously.

“I have seen him play and he is doing very well. I am very happy, he is a player who contributes to football. Tomorrow he is one of the players we have to control well,” said the Italian coach..

He does not talk about his future and jokes with Arabia

He made it clear last week. He is not going to talk more about her future. Brazil, Madrid, Brazil, Madrid… We will have to see, however, how the departure of the president of the CBF affects his verbal agreement with the canarinha. However, he has never hidden that his desire is to continue at Madrid and as soon as the season is going in the right direction, the feeling is that he will continue leading the white team. Not even Arabia can beat Madrid, although he jokes. “What do I do if they give me 500 million? What team? I’m walking, I don’t need to take flight. It’s a joke, the world is changing. And it will change. I’m not a golf expert, but Jon Rahm seems to me to be the best of all “he said when evaluating the news of the last 24 hours.

Ancelotti on whether he would go to Arabia for 500 million: “On foot”

Although Ancelotti is Madrid, Madrid, and Madrid. “No, they have not called me from Arabia and I live in the present. I have another idea that is not that of Arabia. I have never looked at money, because I grew up in a family where money was not the important thing. And I have money. For me the important thing is to feel well,” she said.

Ancelotti opens the goal debate

It probably won’t last long, but the goalkeeping debate has been reopened by Ancelotti. He wanted to close it two weeks ago by announcing Kepa’s ownership in the middle of the Lunin festival and now, if he does not clarify, he does give some hope to the Ukrainian goalkeeper. “Kepa has returned and the good thing is that we have two reliable goalkeepers. We will see. Lunin has done very well when he has played and it is a decision that I am going to make tomorrow for the following games. I think Lunin deserves that I take him into account “Nothing has changed with Kepa, we have confidence in him. Lunin has shown character and personality. Whether one or the other plays is not going to change. They may rotate a little in goal.”

The truth is that Lunin’s latest performances make the coaching staff doubt. His goals conceded ratio is better than Kepa’s and above all he has shown himself to be more confident and brave than his teammate. Carletto, however, had always been offered more security by the Spanish goalkeeper and hence the statements of him taking his return to goal for granted, statements that he has been forced to reconsider.

The situation of the injured

Finally, Ancelotti distributed the injury report. And the best news is Arda Güler, once again close to the playing fields. “Güler is in the final part of his recovery. Next week he will start with high intensity and will be ready for the last games of the year or the beginning of next year. I speak with all the injured players and I need a lot of time because we have many injured. Tchoauméni “He is also close to returning and for Vinicius and Camavinga we will have to wait until next year.”
