Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the pre-match press conference for the second leg of the Champions League 1 8 final, which will host Leipzig, and said he was reluctant to talk about the refereeing controversy.
This is an important opportunity to continue in the Champions League, which is a competition that has a special meaning for us. We have to give our best because the knockout rounds are not over yet and we have to be at our best from start to finish.
In a game like this, you never have peace of mind and we have to chase our dreams in this competitionI don't like to think about the referee before the game, but I don't like to think about it after the game.
I have some questions about the starters and I won't give clues. Tchouameni partnered with Rudiger in central defence in the last game because Nacho was a little uncomfortable, and now that Nacho is fine, he could play.
I don't need to talk to Bellingham, he's a player who always gives his all on the pitchI didn't think the red card was given right, he was frustrated, but there was nothing insulting.
He's doing a great job, he's serious and has a ...... to contribute to the teamEven though he was a little bit off on goal, he was doing his best. If we weren't worried before, we won't be worried now.
The key to my management is that I have a very good group of players who want to learn, improve and be part of this club, and that's the most important thing. Whatever you ask, they accept and do their best to do it well.
We all cared about Diakhabi, we talked to him and we were very sorry for what happened. Unfortunately, injuries are a regular occurrence but I think Diakhabi will get better and we wish him all the best.
I don't really know if that's better or worse, I don't know if I have to come out and explain it, if that's a good thing for the referee. There is someone better suited than me to tell you what is best for the referee.
We analysed what was done well in the first leg and what needs to be improved and I think we're ready and we'll show you our improvements. Leipzig are a dangerous team on the counter-attack, the strikers are fast, Rudiger's return will help us, but to qualify we have to play a full game.
That's a long story. I like my job very much, especially at Real Madrid, because I think Real Madrid is the best club for the job. In general, the pain is greater than the happiness because there are many situations that you need to improve: there are people who are unhappy when you win, there may be players who don't play, etc., all of which can affect your happiness. Pain belongs only to you, happiness can be shared with others, but pain cannot. How am I doing? I'm doing well because I do this job at the best club in the world, but the pain is greater than the joy.
I've already said it, I'm surprised that you don't have the consciousness of free expression, Real Madrid TV is a **, it has the same freedom of expression as you, that's all.
