The Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti he spoke at a press conference before the match in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad. The Italian coach also spoke about Xavi’s decision to remain on the Barcelona bench:
“Ahead of Real Sociedad we have all the energy possible, the objective is very clear. We are 7 points away from winning La Liga and the objective is to get them as soon as possible”, he said in view of the next match.
Is Xavi’s stay also good for Real Madrid?
“He did a great job at Barcelona, he knows the club well, it seems like the correct decision to me.”
How are the injured people?
“Bellingham had a stomach problem, Rodrygo had the flu but they will be there. Mendy won’t, I prefer work in view of the Champions League”.
Laporta asked for the Clasico to be repeated…
“It’s an opinion. And I don’t comment on opinions.”
How is Arda Guler?
“He’s fine, he’s ready, he hasn’t had opportunities because the games have been demanding. He deserved more minutes and now he could play.”
Does Vinicius need to improve his goalscoring numbers?
“His best characteristic is his continuity. He still has a lot of room for growth inside the penalty area and in his movements without the ball. But he has the right humility to grow.”
Would you give the Ballon d’Or to Bellingham or Vinicius?
“To both of them”.
