Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was responsible for putting his feet on the ground in the press conference ahead of Mallorca’s match in the 28th round of La Liga tomorrow away from home. The Italian underestimated the trustworthy Rimontada against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, which earned them the ticket to qualify for the quarter-finals of the European competition.
“There is no euphoria in the club or the team,” Ancelotti said at the press conference. We are still in the Champions League and tomorrow we have another competition. This team is used to looking forward, it is part of the history of our club.”
He added, “We won a match, but it was only in the round of 16 in the Champions League,” and the Italian also admitted that “we did not have a good time in January, but we continued to improve and now we can win something this season.”
Continuing this streak, Ancelotti emphasized that the win had more emotional weight than sporting it. He said: “The fans pushed the team, it was very nice and very important. At the Bernabéu we have an atmosphere that helps us in important matches. I am very happy to see the happiness of the madridistas.”
In response to a question about whether this victory over the Parisian team could serve as a claim to make new contracts in the summer transfer market, “Carlito” clearly said: “We left a very good image against Paris Saint-Germain, but Real Madrid does not need this type.” of matches. The history of this club, and its traditions speak of it. Madrid does not need these matches, because it already has that image in the world.”
However, one of the highlights of the press conference was his reflection on Eduardo Camavinga, as he took the opportunity to suggest that the substitutes of the three-midfield trio Casemiro, Kroos and Modric are ready.
Ancelotti said: “Camavinga’s position is very clear. us and him. Camavinga is the club’s present and future as well. The day Modric, Casemiro and Kroos grow up, maybe 10 or 15 years will pass, we have Camavinga, Valverde and Antonio Blanco, who is in Castilla, as replacements for these legends.”
