We fight in all competitions

The coach of the Spanish club Real Madrid, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti (65 years old), responded to the criticism he was subjected to in the recent period due to the lack of rotation in his squad despite the great match pressure in all local and European competitions, especially after the series of negative results recorded by the team in the recent period.

Ancelotti, coach of the Royal Club, currently runner-up in the La Liga championship with 36 points, defended himself against the criticism he was subjected to for not rotating the players and resting them under great pressure, and he said during a press conference, on Friday, before facing Rayo Vallecano, in the 18th round of the La Liga competitions. “Criticism does not reflect reality. When the team is not at its best, it is not always a positive thing.”

Ancelotti added: “When you have a roster of 14 or 15 players it is difficult to rotate them. We have very young players and it is not always positive to include them when the team is not at its best. They say that Andrek plays little and that we do not give him enough minutes and things like that, but the player He is very young and must adapt, improve and learn. Pushing him when the team is not good could affect him. I have to think about all this, and everything that is said.”

The Italian coach continued, saying: “Criticism does not bother me because it does not express reality. I have to do my job in the best possible way, and I see that we are doing that despite all the difficulties. We are fighting in all competitions and we will continue to fight in light of the many injuries. We must evaluate ourselves to know the aspects.” Which needs improvement because this is our responsibility. As you can see, things are starting to improve little by little with the return of the players. We are very excited about Alaba’s return, which is close. There are many positive things.”
