Carlo Ancelotti addressed the media to discuss the match that Real Madrid will play tomorrow, Saturday, at the Bernabéu against Getafe (9:00 pm). Although he mentioned Getafe, City were present in his appearance.
how is the team
“We are quite good. Some players took a hit on Tuesday, Benzema, Alaba and Rodrygo. Mendy returns and Ceballos returns. They can play tomorrow. We will evaluate it tomorrow. The team is fine”
First half hour of the match against City
“Tuesday’s game is not the topic on our mind right now, but every game has many phases. I think we did a good job offensively in the second half. Talking about Tuesday changes the focus”
Ancelotti and Guardiola are the best current coaches
“No, there are many more”
What does the shield of Real Madrid have to do what it does
“It’s hard to explain, but there is. The fight until the end is like a second last name. We are happy with what basketball has done”
Militao or Rüdiger or both against the City
“I think that the more doubts I have, the better. That’s a good sign. I will have doubts until the last minute on Wednesday.”
Rounds against Getafe. If Vinicius and Lunin play
“Courtois will play tomorrow and so will Vinicius. I don’t know if from the beginning. It’s going to be a very competitive team. I’m not going to risk it, because we have fresh players. It’s a rival that is fighting for not relegated. It will be a tough game. The team will be fresh and energetic!
I understand relegation teams are upset about the rounds
No, I don’t understand. There are many teams that pick matches… this is not the case with us. I want to preserve the tired players, but the good ones will come out on the pitch. The team will be very competitive tomorrow. I can’t give eleven now because I don’t want to give my friend Bordalás an advantage”
Rodrygo earned being a starter
“The statistics say that he played almost all or all the important games. The team handles the presence of three forwards very well. Kroos’ position as a pivot has also been excellent. Rodrygo has done well and contributed greatly to the games already played”
Courtois
“Courtois has enormous quality and is lucky to have a goalkeeping coach who works well with goalkeepers. His work with the team is almost daily, because we train him to get the ball out, the goalkeeper is important… and I always thought a porter had to use his hands better than his feet, but he was capable of both
Conversation with Florentino after defeat in San Sebastián
“The last time I spoke to the president was yesterday. We are all excited because this is an important moment of the season. The club is happy and motivated with us.”
What lesson can you take from tomorrow’s game for City
“Games have a requirement to play the best we can… and win them. A good game tomorrow keeps you in good dynamics”
Vinicius
“He is very talented. It is important to think individually that each player has his own demands. He is happy, excited. His contribution is great. He is in a spectacular moment.
Bordalas
“I have talked to him and we had a good time. I like the way he understands life and I wish him the best”
Ceballos and Asensio and their future
“It’s a decision the players have to make and I think they’ll get to it soon”
Eleven tomorrow will influence the City
“The players who have doubts in tomorrow’s game will not play and the mission is to recover them for that game. The physical issue does not exist”
Vinicius, the most important player in the world
“For now Vinicius, if he is not the best, we are there. He contributes a lot. He is very decisive. He gives goals, assists”
