THE Real has the “absolute” in this year Champions League and are top of the La Liga standings, looking to extend their streak against Naples (29/11, 22:00).
The Madrid players need at least a draw to secure first place, with Carlo Ancelotti to emphasize that the “Partenopei” is a tough opponent. At the same time, the Italian coach commented on the injuries, pointing out that those who play are enough and he does not like to hide behind excuses.
In detail what he said:
“Massari is an experienced coach and the change of coach can bring extra motivation to the players. We must be careful against Kvaratshelia and Osimen, in their counterattacks.
The first match was balanced. There were moments where Napoli dominated and others when we were in control. The match in Madrid will not be much different. I had a great time in Napoli, I’m not in the mood for revenge.
I don’t like to find excuses behind injuries, it would be a lack of respect for them playing. Because those who play are doing well, contributing more than we expected.
Now is the time to take advantage of these players: Nico, Gonzalo, Martin, Zidane. I have a lot of confidence in these guys. The work Raul has done is excellent.
There are guys who are ready for the Youth team but also players like Brahim Diath and Lucas Vathketh who have played a bit. I’m calm, whoever comes from the Youth team is ready to play for us.”
