Ancelotti complains about the grass and Cacereño replies

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was particularly critical of the poor condition of the Príncipe Felipe pitch: “This is not football, this is a different sport,” he said, visibly upset by a pitch that was not in good condition. Those words didn’t sit well with Cacereño’s bosom. As soon as he heard Ancelotti’s words, the Italian coach of Real Madrid received a response from the president and the coach of the RFEF Segunda team.

Ancelotti: “For me this is not football, it’s a different sport”

Real Madrid defeated Segunda RFEF in the Copa del Rey Cacereño with a beautiful goal from Rodrygo, but the Italian made it clear that football could not be played on that field: “Noor you can play. For me it’s not football, it’s a different sport, fun because small teams can fight and compete with bigger teams. It’s good for the fans, but the fans also want to see great matches,” concludes Ancelotti.

“Ancelotti is older and has played on worse pitches”

For his part, Cacereño wanted to replicate the words of the Real Madrid coach. The Italian’s words did not go down well with the president of Cacereño, who stated on TVE that “the grass was bad, but for both teams”. The coach of the RFEF Segunda team wanted to go further, Julio Cobos commented on Cadena SER that “Ancelotti’s words had taken him by surprise” and added that “those excuses are not valid”. In his opinion: “I think it’s football… By the way, Ancelotti is older and has played on much worse pitches than this one,” Cobos stated in ‘The FIR’.

He assured that too “on the In the previous tie, Coria played in their field against Real Sociedad… who scored five. And the field was just like ours. The Real players understood it well. I want to say, the field is good or bad for everyone.”

Iván Fernández, a Cacereño player, also spoke on the matter: “The field was bad for the 22 players, it was quite soft and there were too many slips,” said the striker in the mixed zone..
