He coach of Real MadridCarlo Ancelotti, defended this Friday that the League “is not adulterated” and that “everyone” knows what has happened “in the last 20 years” in Spanish football, in reference to the ‘Negreira case‘, for which the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Civil Guard “He is doing research,” so he insisted that now “diverting the focus makes no sense.”
“This week there has been a lot of talk. Here we do not have to divert the focus, because everyone knows what has happened in the last 20 years in Spanish football, that is the problem and not whether the League is adulterated or not, because he is not,” said the Italian in the press conference prior to the LaLiga EA Sports match that will face Real Madrid and Las Palmas this Saturday.
This is how the technician responded to president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, who assured that the domestic competition was “adulterated.” “Now the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Civil Guard are carrying out investigations and we have to give them time to wait,” Ancelotti explained about the ‘Negreira case’ and Barça’s payments to the former vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA).

Ancelotti did not want to value the words of Xavi Hernández, who confessed that there were things that “did not add up” to him about Real Madrid’s refereeing. “I don’t want to explain my personal feelings or thoughts about this here. I don’t want to explain it here,” he said.
Regarding his team’s state of form, the Italian regretted that the team “has not been solid” in defense “in the last few games.” “In the last four games we have scored a lot of goals, but we have conceded, losing a little solidity,” he explained.
A fragility that he did not want to personify in Fede Valverde’s change of position, after the recoveries of Tchouameni and Camavinga. “I think we have to return to the solidity we had before, being a little more concentrated, and being more forceful at the back,” he said.
Regarding his rival this Saturday, Las Palmas, the white coach praised his game. “They play and defend very well, so it’s going to be a demanding game, but we have the motivation to play at our best level again after two games a little like that… I think this week has been good for us, because we arrived more rested,” he explained.
The Italian commented that Brahim Diaz He could be the replacement for Jude Ballingham, absent in Gran Canaria due to suspension, although Joselu “could be another option” in attack. “Many times we have been able to make up for the absence of important players, so I think tomorrow will be the same,” he added, before confirming Lunin’s ownership in goal.
In the section on long-term injuries, the Merengue coach believes that both Militao and Courtois have “options” to return this season. “The medical staff does not want to force, but they are very well. They are training on the field individually, and in the month of February they will be out for six months. These types of injuries last between six, eight and ten months, so I think they’re both going to recover before the end of the course,” he said.
“This week we have had two days of rest and we have done two good training sessions to prepare for the game. The only thought we have is to try to get the three points tomorrow, which are going to be very important for this league as will be the ones on Thursday “I think the month of February is going to be very important,” he concluded.
