‘If a president who has won 13 Champions Leagues is incompetent, what are the others like?’

Ahead of meeting Celta Vigo as part of La Liga fourth round, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the return of Los Blancos to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and commented the poison arrows sent by UEFA officials towards Real president Florentino Perez.The situation ahead of Real Madrid’s match against Celta Vigo on Sunday night hasn’t been ideal. Number of players is missing due to returning late from international duty or injuries.The old/new Real manager emphasised how special it is to return to the Bernabeu this weekend while speaking to the press ahead of Celta clash.”It’s true that it’s special for everyone, also for us, to be back in a stadium that’s always been a help to the team,” he said.”We need to play well on our return. That’s the main goal – to win, play well and put on a show.”##NAJAVA_MECA_5811862##Club president Florentino Perez received criticism from UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin. The Italian stood behind Perez with an interesting remark.”It seemed strange to me that an organisation as important as UEFA would speak like that about a club and a president who have won 13 Champions Leagues,” he commented.”If a president who has won 13 Champions Leagues is incompetent, what are the others like?”New signing from Rennes, midfield super-talent Eduardo Camavinga might even record his debut. As per Ancelotti, the 18-year-old Frenchman has integrated well to the group and could feature tomorrow.”He’s doing well, he’s excited and motivated to be here,” Ancelotti said. “He’s trained well and he’s available for tomorrow’s game.”‘Mbappe 2021 fund’ will get Real Madrid both Mbappe and Haaland in 2022Failed transfer of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain does not affect Ancelotti’s plans for the current squad. Italian is determined to go all the way in all competitions with the roster he has.”It’s not a disappointment but he is of course a great player and we wish him all the best,” the Real Madrid coach said.It is a bittersweet situation for Ancelotti when it comes to midfield options. There is talent galore in the mid-section of the pitch and harsh competition is inevitable. Patience is crucial, says former Everton, Chelsea, Bayern, PSG, Milan manager.”There’s a lot of competition because I have the best players in the world. Everyone says it, not just me. I have Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco, Valverde, Ceballos and Camavinga, but I can’t play them all at once. It’s important that they’re patient and that they accept my decisions.”Ceferin: ‘I wouldn’t mind if Real, Barcelona and Juventus left UEFA’And Toni Kroos?”We’re in no rush, he’s getting better and I’m not saying that he’s close but he’s going to return,” he said about the German. “We want to work it out slowly.”As far as winger options go – two players are in focus. Two footballers who had a huge question mark placed next to their careers. First one being captain of Wales and Ancelotti has no doubt Gareth Bale will be one of the main pieces in Real’s potential trophy winning puzzle.”He’s had a good start and needs to keep going,” Carlo commented. “I think he can still improve and be at his best level. I need to make a decision tomorrow when I have all the players who have played with their national sides.”Born in a refugee camp in Angola, had his house burnt down and still found his way to the topAnd the forgotten replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo – Eden Hazard?”He’s good and he’s getting back to the Hazard we all know,” Ancelotti claimed. “I’m excited because he’s getting back to the player he was before.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##This weekend, for the first time since before the pandemic, the fans will be back in the Bernabeu. Ancelotti is aware the supporters will expect the best from their team.”If the players give everything on the pitch, the fans can sit back and relax,” he concluded. “All the players know what the fans expect from them.”In three days, Los Blancos will face Inter in Milan to open up their latest Champions League campaign.LA LIGA – ROUND 4SaturdayLevante – Rayo Vallecano 1-1 (1-0)/Marti 39′ pen – Guardiola 90+2’/Villareal – Alaves – CANCELEDSevilla – Barcelona – CANCELEDAth.
