Carlo Ancelotti addressed the media ahead of tomorrow’s clash against Elche (9:00 pm) at the Bernabéu. A match where Rodrygo will play Vinicius and where Kroos or Courtois won’t be there.
How is the team after the Club World Cup?
“We’re fine, with good feelings. Looking forward to enjoying the title with the fans”
FIFPro list without Vinicius
“I don’t know the list, but if Vini is not there it’s weird. It’s a mistake, I think. That list didn’t go well”
Courtois
“Courtois is gone tomorrow, I hope he will be there on Saturday against Osasuna. Militao is back, Lucas is back… We have Kroos out, there is a problem”:
Camavinga will continue as a winger
“I’m thinking about it. I think he played well, but you have to take into account that he is a very strong midfielder. Emergency, but now Alaba is back, Nacho is also able to play… In emergency, Camavinga can play there If not, he will play as a pivot.”
Guardiola said we are not the same after many wins
“I don’t think it’s a problem for Real Madrid. The idea I have is that winning helps you win. When you win you feel things you want to repeat. Repeating is motivation for us. We have a disadvantage in LaLiga, but we I will fight.”
Nacho
“It’s true that he has more competition as a centre-back. When he plays he always contributes. Nacho’s situation is quite clear”.
Substitute Vinicius against Elche
“Rodrygo will play in his position”
How do you see Barcelona?
“He’s doing very well. He’s solid, with a great way of playing, that’s been his key to success. I don’t compare him to anyone, he’s different.”
Hazard
“On Thursday, he returned to training with the team after swelling his knee. I treat everyone the same way. There is no special treatment for anyone.”
Arguments to the fans to believe despite being 11 behind Barça
“I don’t need to give arguments. Our fans know the professionalism of this team, of these players. They know that we will fight every game. I don’t think that anyone thinks that we are in ‘critical ‘ We are in a situation.
A nine for next year
“Well, that Madrid needs a nine is an opinion. We have Karim, who is not young, but he will be with us next year. This is not the time to think about next year, Now we are in LaLiga, the Champions The league is back …”
Performance by Tchouaméni
“Until the World Cup, he was very good, surprisingly. But the World Cup affected him, that he was still not in the best situation, physically, before the World Cup. Going from a double pivot to playing solo. .. little by little he is coming back”.
Kroos knows his future
“I know what will happen, but I can’t say. I’m not Kroos. He didn’t tell me, but the feeling is that he will renew, but we’ll see”
improve the defense
“In attack, we are very good and in defense we have to improve. We had three clean sheets, but then we had three trivial errors and that is where we have to improve. You have to have organization, defensive commitment …”
Benzema renewed
“I don’t know. But I repeat: the legends of Real Madrid must retire from Real Madrid”.
The Brazilian players from Madrid asked him about the choice
“They’re joking! They’re making fun of the subject! But they’re joking, nothing else. The truth is, I have a contract until 2024”.
