On Tuesday, Real Madrid will play Union Berlin in what will be the club’s last Champions League group stage encounter. Real Madrid will be trying to mend up and rediscover their rhythm after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Real Betis. Union Berlin will be the club’s opponent.
The questions that were asked by the media were addressed by Carlo Ancelotti at the pre-match conference presentation.
“I’m not thinking too much about this,” the Italian stated in response to a question concerning rotations on which he was asked to comment.
He went on to say that the players who were exhausted would rest, while those who were not exhausted would continue to play.
The Merengues will be trying to replicate their previous successes and make an effort to go all the way to the final round of this prestigious tournament. They have already secured their berth in the round of sixteen of the Champions League.
Anthony Ancelotti made the observation that “we have the quality to fight and win the Champions League.”
Despite the fact that Andriy Lunin’s recent efforts have earned him praise, the rivalry between him and Kepa Arrizabalaga has been receiving a considerable amount of attention.
Kepa will be playing, Ancelotti said in response to the question of who will be entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the sticks against Union Berlin.
It would be quite unjust to leave anybody sitting on the bench. From tomorrow forth, Kepa will begin. The Lunin? He went on to say, “I am unable to start everyone.”
A question was also posed to the 64-year-old on the possibility of Nico Paz being given a starting position after his most recent long-range wonder goal, which he scored against Napoli in the Champions League.
When asked about the prospect, Ancelotti said, “Yes, he could.” He did not rule out the possibility.
with the same time, Ancelotti voiced his desire to see Real Madrid icons retire with the club that they formerly held in such high esteem.
It was his opinion that Real Madrid legends should retire at this location.
The names Kroos, Modric, and Nacho are synonymous with legends. In his acknowledgment, he said that they had earned the right to chose their own destiny.
There was also discussion of Brahim Diaz, whose recent form has left observers with a favorable impression. The Englishman found the back of the net against Real Betis thanks to a fantastic ball that was made to Jude Bellingham.
“I am very happy with him,” Ancelotti said, expressing his joy with the results he delivers. It was quite beneficial for him to spend some time in Milan. His contribution to the defense is positive, he is really remarkable in terms of the tactical aspect, and he is physically more powerful.
A recent comparison made by Ancelotti between the emerging star of Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham, and the great Kaka was made. Upon being questioned more about the similarities, the Italian responded as follows:
When it came to the ball, Kaka made a number of trips inside the box. In contrast to Bellingham, he did not possess the same level of talent to advance to that point without the ball. We play without a set nine, and there is more room to finish in the box than where we normally would be.
Kaka was extremely excellent on the ball, but Bellingham’s mobility off the ball is quite effective. Although the method was different with Kaka, Kaka was very good on the ball overall.
“It was a very entertaining game,” the Real Madrid manager said in reference to the La Liga match that took place between Barcelona and Girona the previous evening. When the two teams competed against one another, Girona was superior and achieved more success. There were no strategies involved.
“And I have no choice but to stop there; I am not permitted to deliver speeches or criticisms on other teams. The pairing appealed to me. Because Girona had such a large amount of personality and character, I was taken aback by her ability to perform at this level.
