Ancelotti: This is the case of Chouamini and Bellingham, and Rodrygo is not appreciated

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference to talk about tomorrow's confrontation against Real Sociedad, in the fifth round of the Spanish League, on the floor of Anoeta Stadium.

The coach said: “We realize that a very demanding match calendar has begun. We want to get off to a good start and we got the players back during the break. We always start with enthusiasm and the desire to compete in every match. The opponent was always difficult, but we have a good feeling in the team.”

He added: “Vinicius is not at his best, but he is still very important for us. He was decisive in the European Super Cup. He did not score as usual, but we are not in a rush.” Our command: The team scores and it is important, he always gives everything he can. It is a matter of time. I am very happy with what he is doing because not all players can be 100% ready. The important thing is to give everything you can

Regarding the absence of Bellingham and Tshwamini from tomorrow’s match: “They have done a small part of the training, and let’s see if they are available for Tuesday’s match in the Champions League.”

He continued: “Rodrigo was not appreciated. He deserved to be among the 30 candidates for the Ballon d’Or. What he did last year, where he scored in two matches against City in the Champions League, was exciting.” To admire. We have the opportunity to get a player who can play in many positions and with a great performance.”

He added: “Mbappe and Vinicius are not affected by criticism, they are training well. Mbappe is improving more and more. Many forget that they returned on August 9 and were unable to participate in the pre-season and their condition has already improved. They are fine and happy.”

He stressed: “There is a good atmosphere in the dressing room Very, very healthy. There are players who will take on more responsibility, such as Vinicius, Rodrigo and the youth, who are not young anymore.”

He added: “Who will play tomorrow in midfield? “Good question. This is the doubt I have. We have Ibrahim Diaz and Guler. I can also change the system. I can play with three midfielders or change to another system.”

He continued “We will rotate and we will monitor those who returned on Thursday. The rotation between the players will be very important. Güler will have greater importance. Making him a starter is complicated. I do not see anyone who does not deserve to play as a starter in this team.”

He continued: “Valverde bears more responsibility in the dressing room. We have lost some like Kroos or Nacho. There are others who are developing like Valverde. I think he is not shy. I see him as a very important player for us. I'm happy, Valverde has everything a top-level midfielder needs. Strength, quality and intelligence, he is an amazing player.”

On the extent to which Vinicius was affected by the Saudi League’s interest: “I don’t know if he has an offer or not. I talk to everyone every day and I didn’t We never talk about this topic. Vinicius loves playing football so much that nothing from the outside will bother him.”

He concluded: “I am not too worried about playing 7 matches in a row.” Short time, we are used to it, we have to evaluate the players, the Brazilians are under supervision because they did not have a lot of time to work and rest, we must try to avoid injuries. Last year we had a lot of injuries, and we dealt with it well, we have to live with that. With this schedule, it is normal for us to suffer injuries.”
