Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow’s confrontation against Real Mallorca, in the first round of the Spanish League, at Son Moes Stadium.

The coach said: “The league begins with all enthusiasm to try to preserve the title. The title we won last year, we deserved it. The matches against Mallorca were always difficult. The coach has changed, and another coach has arrived with experience and ability, and in order to win we have to fight from Yes.”

He added: “It is still unknown how many competitions we have to play because there are two competitions, the Club World Cup and the Intercontinental, whose dates are not clear It has not been organized yet. What is clear is that we will go to compete in all the matches and competitions that we play. There is no other thought except tomorrow’s match and preparation every three days. This is what the schedule requires. With this team you can compete in all competitions.”

He continued: “Rodrigo contributes. In the European Super Cup, we played with a 4-4-2 plan. He worked a lot with the midfielders. He must focus on this work, as he does it in a good way.” Very good, and the statistics indicate that he contributes a lot in defense and attack.”

He added: “Bellingham’s position has not changed. He will play in the middle, and he will have similar roles to last season in Attack. I have to evaluate tomorrow's team. Maybe there will be some changes, maybe not. "

He continued: "What I ask of everyone is to give their best for the team." ,no more than that. I always focus a lot on working as a team, and the players must think in the same way.”

He continued: “Will you ask for a certain number of goals for Mbappe to score? No, I won't tell him how many goals he should score, because I don't know that either. Mbappe has just arrived and our job is to help him adapt. He is an exceptional talent, and in the locker room he is humble."

He added: “We are thinking about reality. Players know how difficult it is to win any match, not just titles. It requires a lot of sacrifices from you. Thinking too much about the future is not good. We cannot think about what will happen in May.”

He stressed: “The team is complete, we do not need to strengthen any position. We believe that Alaba will recover quickly and well, and that the youth players We are ready. Raul Asensio and Jacobo Ramon are ready, although we were lucky with Juan Martinez.”

He continued: “Against Atalanta, Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham played together for the first time, and things went well.” Okay, they have the spark to play with quality. It seems like they are used to playing together.”

He continued: “We have to face everyone this season. The quality of Spanish football is evident, not only because of the way they play, but because of what the Spaniards were able to do in the Olympic Games and the European Nations Cup. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have strengthened themselves. The first matches I watched were very good with a lot of play and few mistakes. Semi-automatic offside will help us a lot, which will help in refereeing even more.”

He concluded: “How will you protect the players this season due to the large number of matches? For example, Vinicius will go to his national team, play two matches, and when he comes back, instead of playing a league match, we will give him a rest.”
