In the great difficulty they have for the Liverpool her two upcoming matchups with Real Madrid for the phase of the “16” of the Champions League, he commented on the statements of Jurgen Klopp.
The coach of the “Reds” spoke in the best words of the “queen”, Ancelotti and her players, adding that his team will have to play two super games if they want to qualify.
What the Liverpool coach said in detail:
For Real Madrid: “It is one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world. Super experienced team. We played the final with them in Paris last year and I didn’t see him again until last weekend. Real never lose their confidence. You can learn from them. Before the final, we had faced them at their training center and here in an empty stadium, where we played well and made them work hard but it was 0-0. The two teams have changed since then anyway.”.
For Ancelotti: “Carlo is the coolest coach I’ve ever met in my life. Super, smart, good and the way he manages his players is on a whole other level compared to the rest. I respect and admire that a lot. They have a world-class squad and they have also brought in some incredibly exciting young footballers.”.
On what his team needs to do to qualify: “We have to play two super games to pass. Real even if they don’t play exceptionally, they have a chance to qualify. I’m glad we’re playing now and not a few weeks ago. I expect the fans to be in a … fighting position at Anfield, let’s do it together.”.
Which Real Madrid players does he stand out for: “Some of their players have won the Champions League five times and maybe they think they own the trophy, we will try. We always try to stop the passes to Vinicius, but if you defend like that, there’s Benzema. If you’re going to shut him down, there’s Valverde or Rodrigo. If you shut them all down, there’s also Toni Kroos, Luka Modric or Tswameni who can threaten you with shots from outside the area.”.
