Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow’s confrontation against Espanyol, in the sixth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said: “I want to I want to see Real Madrid continuing to improve and progress. We are entering into good momentum. We have won the last few matches and we want to continue like this. Will there be a rotation? Today is not the right day to say that.”

He added: “Football needs to think because the goal is to play fewer matches to avoid injuries. Players have no problem cutting their salaries if they play fewer matches.”

He stressed: “Beautiful football depends on the characteristics of your players. Beautiful football is playing, defending and attacking well. There are many aspects, not one facet. Everyone has their opinion on this. I really like that my team defends well.” He controls well, moves vertically... It is difficult to define beautiful football.”

He noted: “Balance is a team work that you can do with two people.” Or three strikers. In the Champions League final in Paris, we played with three strikers and we had a perfect balance. If we add another midfielder, it does not mean that we have more balance.”

He added: “I am very happy with the fans about what we are doing. You can play better, but Real Madrid fans are used to seeing rock and roll football, not one with a lot of touches. We seek to please the fans with our characteristics.”

He continued: “Andrik will be a starter in some of the upcoming matches and many of the team’s matches. With the quality he has, it is clear. He is very humble.” He talks little and works a lot. I like that.”

Regarding the date of Camavinga’s return: “Camavinga is very close to returning. He will work with the team next week and he is doing very well It is very important for us because it allows us to get more elements and he will contribute a lot.”

As for whether the match schedule can be changed this season: “No, the important thing is.” It is to think about the solution. Let the organizations, UEFA, and FIFA realize that the players have become tired. This is the goal for this season. The players will not change the future of football

He concluded: “How will you find balance in the team? If Vinicius, Kylian and Rodrigo press and the midfielders do not step up, this is not a problem for Vinicius and Mbappe. We have to bring the lines closer together, nothing else. There is work with and without the ball and we have to find balance there.”
