Ancelotti responds to Guardiola: “I am in the best club in the world”
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the preparatory press conference to face Villarreal tomorrow in the 16th round of LaLiga.
Tired schedule
We used to play every three days. We handle these things well. The team has just come back very well after the World Cup and it’s the opposite of what we expected. We had small issues but that’s okay.
Villarreal
I think Villarreal’s style of play changed with Setien. They play football very clearly and play very well. I think it will be an interesting game, because we also want to play a good game and we want to win it. To win, they have to perform at their best.
We want to win all the titles we won in 2022 and we want to do better than last season. This is our goal this season.
Is anyone leaving this winter?
So far no player has asked me to leave or given advice on the future. They are focused on the season and everyone is focused on achieving good results after the end of this season.
If someone asks me for advice, I will give it to them, and this is for all the players here. So far, no one has entered my office to discuss whether to leave or not to renew the contract. We have a lot of matches and the whole squad will be used. At the moment no one is complaining that he is not playing.
Guardiola said last night that you are a ‘genius coach’, what do you think of that?
I consider myself a person who does a good job and is sometimes successful and sometimes not and lucky to be with the best team in the world. Guardiola is a great coach and I definitely respect his opinion because he is also a great football coach.
Rodrigo
Without a doubt, he is a key player for me and I see that he has developed a lot, as have many others. He is very important with the team and always makes the difference in matches with the small and important details.
Bellingham and Real Madrid
There are many great youngsters in football, such as Enzo Fernandes, Pedri, Javi and many other midfielders shining. Bellingham is one of them, of course, but I prefer the midfielders we have because they are very good, especially the youngsters.
