Carlo Ancelotti talked to the press before of Real Madrid’s home game against Real Sociedad on Sunday, stating that none of the players who went on international duty had returned injured. In fact, he disclosed that everyone is eager to participate.
Ancelotti spoke to the media on numerous topics, including Luka Modric’s role, Jude Bellingham’s adaptability, and injury reports for Vinicius Jr, Dan Ceballos, and Ferland Mendy.
However, when questioned about former Real Madrid player Takefusa Kubo, he said,
“Kubo is doing very well; he is making great strides.” Real Sociedad, on the other hand, is a complete squad that plays excellent football. “We have to look at the team as a whole,” the manager said, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Modric will rise to prominence.
Modric has started only one league game this season and has appeared in three others off the bench. This figure alone is sufficient to justify the experienced midfielder’s secondary role this season.
“We were all overjoyed when he renewed. His role has altered since he only started one game at the beginning, but he will now have greater prominence and will continue to be vital.
“I’ve spoken with him about it. He’s had to put up with a bit more than he planned. Normal now that I’ve given young people prominence. This group is loaded with talent and competition.
“I don’t need to give Modric and Kroos minutes to see what they can and will contribute this year, even if it’s with fewer minutes, because there are extraordinary players behind them,” the manager stated.
Bellingham is a consummate professional.
The boss talked extensively about Bellingham, stating that the midfielder is highly professional.
“Bellingham is judged on his performance on the field. He’s doing OK. He wasn’t well-known since he used to play in the German league and didn’t have the role he currently has.
“He now plays an important role in a major club.” It comes as no surprise to me. He is a player that is extremely focused, very serious as a professional, and he will not go crazy if someone talks positively about him.”
“We have discussed this issue,” he says when asked how many goals he believes the midfielder will score. We saw at Dortmund that he has the potential to go into the opponent’s area on time and be dangerous. We discussed it throughout the preseason, and he feels okay about it.
“He is a player with a lot of consistency and an important physique.” I’m not sure how many goals he can score, but he contributes significantly to our offensive play.”
The management also said that Bellingham’s personality is to blame for his swift adjustment to new life. “The personality player suffers less than the others.” The aim is to emphasize individuality above quality so that this blouse does not drag you down.”
Vinicius is doing nicely.
Vinicius Jr. was recently left out of the 12 candidates for best men’s player, and the player’s management said that he was disappointed. “I saw him the other day in the locker room weeping, and I asked him what was up with him. He’s been sobbing for around three or four hours.”
“I don’t know the exact day,” he said concerning his comeback from injury. The truth is that he is recuperating quite well, but we do not need to rush him. The scar is in good condition. His workload is rising.
“He will begin doing some work with the team next week.” “I believe he will recover sooner than the six weeks that they have stated,” he remarked.
Mendy is not accessible, but Ceballos is.
“Ceballos will be [available] against Real [Sociedad], but Mendy will not,” the manager stated of injuries. He must go on with his strategy. We have to get him in when he’s fully prepared, and I believe he’ll be in the squad on Wednesday.”
“They have returned well,” he remarked of all the internationals. With greater zeal and energy. They have scored goals and performed well in games. They’ve all returned in terrific shape.”
“I have the lineup for you. They’re all set to go. They are now ready to play again. Tomorrow, I’ll put together the greatest squad possible since it’s a big game versus a big adversary.
“I’m going to rotate a little more than I did in the first games.” “Many more players will be used right away,” the manager stated.
Raul, Castilla, and the most recent controversy
Finally, the manager was questioned about Castilla manager Raul and the latest football scandal that has shaken the globe.
“Every day, Raal is with us. It’s quite natural to communicate with him, especially because we need a lot more quarry players right now. Communication occurs on a daily basis. He came here today because he had players called up for the game against Atletico B.”
“I refer to the statement to the club,” he said of the controversy. I have nothing else to say about the matter.”
