But although Carlo Ancelotti only needs a point to “secure” the lead, he is not resting and at the press conference on Tuesday (28/11) he started the game with his former team, which was a special mention of Macsari, Kvaratshelia and Osimen.

“Massari is an experienced coach and the change of coach can give the players additional motivation. We have to be careful with their counterattacks against Kvaratshelia and Osimen.” The Italian coach began by emphasizing and added:

“The first game was even. There were moments when Napoli dominated and others when we were in control. The game in Madrid won’t be much different. I had a great time in Napoli, I’m not in the mood for revenge.”

When asked about the numerous injury problems that Real have had to deal with recently, “Carleto” did not want to elaborate, showing a sign of confidence in the players at his disposal:

“I don’t like to apologize for injuries, that would be a lack of respect for the game. Because those who play perform well, they do more than we expected.”

Now it’s time to take advantage of these players: Nico, Gonzalo, Martin, Zidane. I have a lot of confidence in these guys. The work Raul did is excellent.

There are boys who are ready for the youth team, but also players like Brahim Diath and Lucas Vathketh who have already played a bit. I am calm, whoever comes from the youth team is ready to play for us.”
