During the pre-match press conference, Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelottidiscussed the team’s preparations for the Copa del Rey match against Celta (January 16).
– Tomorrow’s match gives us the opportunity to react after our poor performance in our last match. Tchouaméni? I’m confident he played well as a center back, as the stats suggest, but I know it’s not his natural position. When Alaba returns, Aurélien will become a midfielder again.
Supercup? We made many mistakes, and we analyzed them. We have youth, energy and quality. It’s a team that has great value. I trust them completely. The Super Cup was a bad match; it hurts us. But we have won many finals. People say we’re not a well-coached team? This doesn’t upset me because it’s not true.
Winter transfer market? We are discussing it with the club. I won’t say anything. Additionally, I would like to point out that Lunin will keep goal for Real Madrid tomorrow. Asensio? He is a central defender. He is not used to playing as a right-back. He has had many good matches, but he has only been with us for two months.
