Ancelotti: “We learned from Chelsea last year, we will not reckon against Liverpool”

The Italian started by making it clear that Madrid “will not calculate, we will go out to do our best, we will plan a game like in the first match. From the first minute you have to enter at maximum intensity and come out to win. We reviewed the pros and cons of the first game.” And we will plan an open game, we want to attack and play our best offensive game. It will be an open match as they come to change the dynamics of the draw. And we think more about attacking than defending.” “It’s a tougher game for us on a mental level than Liverpool because they come to the top for everyone,” said Carletto.

The Italian, referring to the match against Chelsea, the Londoners reversed the tie and then Madrid had to row against the current at the Bernabéu:The memory of Chelsea last year will help us prepare for this game because they have already brought us back and it has taught us that we cannot count. and we will propose an open party”.

Message to Hazard

Regarding Hazard’s statements that he did not speak to the Belgian, the coach said, “The relationship is not cold. Hazard was honest, we don’t talk much, that’s true. That’s not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he respects me even though he doesn’t play much, and I respect him a lot. Hazard isn’t playing because there’s too much competition and he’s playing Vinicius, who contributes a lot instead. I have the players the club gave me for next year”. Exactly about Vinicius, “I’m happy with Vinicus’ progress and I don’t pay much attention to Vini’s attitude towards the referees. He should focus on what happens on the field.” For Carletto Vinicius he is “on the right track to make the history of Real Madrid in the years to come, as Modric, Kroos, Karim or Casemiro have written, especially in the Champions League”.

“Experience and energy are very important for tomorrow’s game”, He cautioned that he didn’t give a clue as to whether to bet on Modric and Kroos or on Tchouaméni and Camavinga. Then he praised the Frenchman: “Camavinga is doing very well. It makes you forget the mistakes you made, the places you need to improve. He made a blatant mistake against Espanyol in a position that did not belong to him. For a young man of exceptional quality, his progress is normal. Camavinga is inviolable today and will be in the future”. AND Finally, he confirmed that “Benzema is recovering and will be at eleven with enthusiasm” and the coach believes that “his crossovers with Deschamps will not affect him on the pitch”.

Rudiger: ‘We can’t sleep like Anfield’

Antonio Rudiger appeared before the coach. The Madrid defender said: “It was very difficult for me to play at the Bernabéu last year because I suffered Real Madrid’s comeback with Chelsea. The atmosphere was amazing and now I’m lucky to be enjoying it. When you play against Real Madrid you feel that the Bernabéu is different. It’s an honor to be a part of it and grow and learn from other players. Benzema has experience like Modric or Kroos”. For the German, “It is not easy to play for Madrid. There’s a lot of pressure with all my background, but I think it’s helped me grow and learn from it.”

Rudiger said of Vinicius and everything he’s been through: “He needs to focus on his playing style because when he does, he’s one of the best in the world, but it’s hard for them to kick you this much and provoke you this much. He’s young and he has to learn to manage it. LReferees should also do their job better and treat him like the others”.

for madridistaWe better get out of Anfield and we can’t sleep in the first fifteen minutes. because we’ve already seen what’s been there from the beginning. You have to find the right rhythm and find the balance between attack and defense”. For Rudiger, “Liverpool have a lot of offensive potential and we shouldn’t let them show it like they did when they beat United.”
