Carlo Ancelotti responded at a press conference to the harsh statements of Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, in which he assured that Real Madrid “adulterates the competition. “They create an unbearable climate for the referees.”. In words reported by Diario Marca, Gil Marín insists that Madrid's complaints through its official television “directly affect the development of the competition.”
Asked by journalists, the Italian coach declared that the red and white manager “makes a big mistake”. But “no one is perfect,” he added.. The controversy is enormous after the Madrid derby last Sunday. In the Metropolitano press room Ancelotti did not mention arbitration. “I don't pay attention to this. “Everyone does and says what they want,” said the transalpine player after the duel against Las Palmas.
Carletto hopes to have Rüdiger in Girona and confirmed Alaba's problems, who will miss, at least, this Saturday's match due to adductor problems in his right leg.. They were the two highlights of a happy afternoon for the whites, who celebrated the returns of Vinicius and Ceballos. As the coach has announced, the Brazilian will start in Girona. “He entered with great desire and enthusiasm. “Now he has to prepare well and be ready for Saturday, when he will start.”
“I am very happy after a month. It seems like a short time, but they have been hard days, working day, afternoon and night to reach. I must continue to improve and pick up the rhythm of the game,” acknowledged Vinicius, who explained a little about his recovery process: “All the doctors and physios are looking out for us so we can return as soon as possible.. It's a bit sad, it's very hard work, a lot of gym, physio, water work…. Everything to return to our best version and as quickly as possible.”.
Rodrygo's “anxiety”
The star of the day was Brahim, who made his first start and goal after a start to the season in which he counted little for the coach.. In the mixed zone, the Andalusian admitted that he hopes to put some “pressure” on Ancelotti after the goal scored against the Canarian team.
“The coach asks me to be vertical, to create superiority by coming into space and short, he asks me to be the wild card man and go behind the back so that the team opens up more,” the Andalusian admitted to the media, where he acknowledged that in The previous plays had lacked some “calm”. “The calm that I had not had before I had later. I looked, I saw that I was alone and I had the patience to score a goal. “It's a pride, you can't describe the feeling, it's something unique.”
In the press room, Ancelotti seemed somewhat concerned about the lack of success, assuming that his team had exceeded 20 shots on Valles' goal and had only scored two. “The direct pass is sometimes the best option. “I'm not a super fan of possession, I'm a super fan of goals,” he joked..
Insisting on the scoring issue, he focused on Rodrygo, who he acknowledged is having some “anxiety”. “For strikers they are moments that pass, when you don't score anxiety and worry come. I think that's what he's going through.. We have to continue giving him confidence,” he warned, and praised him for the 2-0 pass to Joselu. “He didn't score, but he gave a fantastic assist, for me he contributed enough. Obviously for him the goal is very important, but the goal will come when he doesn't think so much about scoring.”
