“The Sheriff thing has affected us …”

“Out of respect, I would not coach Barcelona”

And look at his phrase about Mbappé , a wink that will give a lot to talk about …

The Italian, in a good mood, has answered questions about Hazard, Casemiro , which system you prefer, rotations … and a confession. “I would never coach Barça”.

This is where Carletto’s reflections have come!

Praise after the first games, the last two raise doubts in Madrid. “You have to have more balance. Me too. These two games have happened to us that we have had the difficulty of scoring, which we did not have before. This is football. Ten days ago I said that the difficult moments would come. I am not saying that it is now, but it must be solved with balance and energy “.

The Sheriff left him touched or not. “The assessment of the game was clear and the team agreed with me. We needed to be finer in attack. Physically it affects me, because I don’t sleep thinking about what happened, but not mentally.”

The rotation policy, for example Casemiro. “Those who have had fewer minutes against Sheriff are fresher. Everyone sees Casemiro tired and I don’t. I see him well. When I give him rest I don’t it means he doesn’t deserve to play, it’s to preserve him. I did it with Modric. He played well against Villarreal and then rested against the Sheriff. “

Has gone from 4-3-3 to using a good number of different systems in this new stage. “Without the ball the most effective system is a 4-4-2 or at least two lines of four. With the ball, it is very different, it is different from understanding what kind of system. We never play with four behind, sometimes there are even two. In some games we have defended with a line of five, it complicates the pressure up a little more … “.

Hazard slowly enters. The most valuable thing in him? “At this moment he lacks continuity. Some things he does as before, one on one, he shot against the Sheriff … He needs more prominence in the game “.

Kroos. Headline? “We are happy that he has returned. He took his time, he recovered well. Tomorrow the game will start.”

Guti said he would not mind training Barça. You? “With all due respect, I cannot go against my story. My story says that I trained here and I train here.”

Benzema says that Mbappé will play for Madrid. “Enjoy Mbappé because Madrid is the biggest club in the world.”

What a dangerous rival, Barça or Atlético. “We have to fight with both of them until the end. It may be that Atlético is better now. I will see it like all games. If we do our thing, we will fight until the end against both. “

Team hurt their pride. “The game against the Sheriff affected our pride, it’s true. We are going to react. We will do whatever it takes to win.”

Ancelotti will appear in a few minutes from the Valdebebas press room. In short, all the reflections of the Italian technician, here.
