Carlo Ancelloti in a recent interview with times discussed
about Post-Mourinho Madrid , the sanction of sale of Mesut Özil and how
demanding really is the Real Madrid job.
The Italian stated
frankly that the players don’t discuss about what happened with Mourinho
and further highlighted La Decima is a motivation and shouldn’t be
mistaken as Obsession.
The Italian said,”[The players] didn’t
speak about what happened last year with Mourinho, and I didn’t ask. To
reach the semi-finals of the Champions League is not bad. It’s not good
enough for some clubs, but it’s not bad.
“La Decima is not an
obsession, but it’s a motivation. For the club it’s very important. The
last time Real Madrid played in the final was 2002. For a club like Real
Madrid this is not good.”
When asked about the expectations of
Fans and the Board , the Italian was quick to compare with his past
clubs and said ,” The supporters here don’t just look to win, they look
at how you play. At Real you have to win with style. It’s not enough to
win here. For example, Fabio Capello was sacked after he won the
league.Chelsea were a more physical team, but here the technical skills
of the players are the best.”
Ancelloti then discussed the sale of
Mesut Özil when he discussed premier league in brief and joked Arsene
should buy them a diner for sale of Mesut and the great start to the
season.
The Blancos manager said, “There’s a lot of balance in the
Premier League now, but in my opinion Manchester City have the best
squad. I saw them play against Manchester United, and in terms of a
squad they are very skilled. Arsenal are doing well, but we helped them
of course.
Arsène Wenger has to buy us dinner, as we gave them
Özil! It was my decision. When we bought Gareth Bale it was difficult to
find space for him, and he needs to play. Mourinho will always do well,
but they’ve changed a lot of players so it’s not easy.”
