“We are very sad. I hope you understand that I don’t have the heart to talk about football. It’s a special match for me, I would love to talk about it, but I will try to talk as little as possible.declared Ancelotti, appearing very touched at the press conference.
“Football takes a back seat. With what happened, we don’t have the energy to work. We inform ourselves, we watch, we read. And what happened is truly incredible, terrible”he added.
