Interview with Real coach on the radio
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti gave an interview to « Radio 1 » in which he claimed to be living his « honeymoon » and in which he confessed that he hopes to stay « for many years » at the Santiago Bernabéu .
This is how clearly Ancelotti made it clear when asked about a possible signing for Roma, where he was the protagonist as a player, in the future.
« I hope Roma win titles with Mourinho, I don’t know my future. I am having my honeymoon in Madrid and I hope to stay for many years, » said Ancelotti. The Italian coach also spoke about the start of the season with Real Madrid. « We started off with a few difficulties, like everyone else, but we have a good frame of mind and we managed to arrange the game with character. »
Likewise, he gave his opinion on the departure of important La Liga players, such as Sergio Ramos. « Spanish football has lost some very important players, but there are still a lot of them and among them is Vinicius, who is fortunately ours. »
On the Champions League, Ancelotti does not expect any surprises. « I don’t think there will be any surprises among the favorites, they stay the same and we’ll see what happens in March. » On the other hand, the Italian coach was asked about the Super League. « The day I start talking about politics will be the day I stop football. I prefer to talk about the pitch. »
Brahim had no place
Another issue Ancelotti dealt with was the departure of Brahim. « In Madrid he had no space because of the competition, but it’s important for us, we are happy that he is doing well in Milan. For his growth it was essential to play and if we have chosen to lend it to Milan, it is because we know the good structure of the club « . Ancelotti was also asked about the possibility of playing the World Cup every two years instead of all four. « Play every two years? Well, since we’re here, let it be played every year. Schedules are a serious problem, something needs to be changed. There are games that don’t make sense, the FIFA and UEFA should talk about it, they do not agree « .
European football
Inter, rival in Champions « The Italians played very well against us, I think they can win the Scudetto again, even if I see a very balanced Serie A. Juve have problems, they have lost their certainties and can’t have continuity. In football it usually happens, but it will come back, « he said.
The Madrid coach did not hide when asked about Mourinho. « Rome is a place suited to his character, I’ve always said that. I thought it was perfect for him and I’m sure in the end it will. »
In addition, he spoke of his time in Naples and his departure from the Italian club. « I had two splendid years, but I know how it works and I think it ended in the right way. When there is no harmony between the club and the coach, it is worth better to separate. The club is always competitive, it can compete to win. »
Finally, he gave his opinion on the Premier League, a competition in which he also trained. « English football is ahead at the moment, it is a speech that is also talked about in Spain. The English are playing with a higher level of intensity.
