Ancelotti: “The ball is in love with Güler”

Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the press room after Real Madrid’s resounding 5-0 victory over Alaves and congratulated himself on his team’s collective and individual performance. Here are his impressions:

– Luis Garcia said that Madrid is ready to celebrate a new era.

-I think so. This team has a lot of talent and a high level of play. I believe this can usher in an era where young people in the team will be valued.

-Courtois is back…

-He is progressing very well. We are convinced that on the first day we will arrive with good dynamics. It’s important to rest this week and prepare for the finals of the next two.

– Are you concerned about the situation of players whose contracts have expired?

-We’re not worried. Until June 1, this is a secondary issue. We are thinking about winning the Champions League.

-Arda Guler scored again…

– It is clear that we love young people very much… the squad, the staff… we have the gift of scoring goals, because the ball is in love with Arda Guler.

– How do you see Bellingham at the midfielder position?

-That was my intention. We’ve been asking him for this for a long time, and he loves this role. He is quite comfortable there. It has been around for a long time and has helped us in this aspect.

-How is Carvajal and what are these games for?

-Nothing, it’s a tramp. Get dynamics, minutes for those who haven’t played. And I am convinced that on the first day we will be on top.

-Kroos, possible Ballon d’Or?

– Anything can happen, because competitions take place in the summer. Kroos plays for Germany, which can win the European Cup. Why not? You can fight to win.

-Lunin’s situation

– The situation is clear. We told you. In the two remaining games, Andrey will play one, and Thibault will play the other.

– Madrid has 20 clean sheets. How do you appreciate it?

– This is a very significant fact that rewards collective work. Much of this team’s success is here.

-According to the data, is this your best league?

– Yes, without a doubt, this is my best league. We won the League with dignity. They were waiting for our puncture, but it didn’t come. Now we need to continue.

-Are you going to work these days?

-No. I’m going to rest like the players. Next week will be physical and the next week will be tactical.

-The future of Kroos and Modric

– These are individual situations. The club will evaluate this after the final.

-Progress of Vinicius.

– It has become much better. The definition, the unmarking… happens in an exciting moment. He sees another Champions League very close. He’s doing very well. You can’t do it better.
