Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, has made it clear that he has no intention of making life easy for FC Barcelona in the fight for LaLiga. In a recent press conference, the Italian was firm after the 'last-minute' victory against Mallorca, stating: "Today's duty was not to gift the League. They play tomorrow, in football anything can happen".
The coach, who is in the final days of his second spell at the club, did not hold back in defending his legacy and the work done during his tenure. "Offensively we have done well, but we have conceded too many goals", he commented, emphasizing the injuries that have affected the team throughout the season.
Ancelotti also addressed the situation of some players, highlighting Vallejo's attitude, who, despite not having many minutes, has shown exemplary commitment. "I like that he has this ending at Madrid, he deserved to play, but it was complicated", the coach expressed, who also showed his support for Víctor Muñoz, urging him not to get discouraged after missing a clear opportunity in the match.
However, the press conference was not without tension. Ancelotti, visibly affected by the criticism, referred to the management of the locker room and the lack of balance on the field, stating that "the soft hand and the whip are very big nonsense". This statement seems to be a clear message to those questioning his ability to manage a group full of stars.
Ancelotti's future at Real Madrid remains uncertain, especially with rumors about his possible return to the Brazilian national team. Despite the difficulties, the coach clings to the idea that his legacy at the club will not be tarnished by current problems. "I will defend my legacy until the last day", he concluded, hinting that his commitment to the club remains intact.
In summary, Ancelotti bids farewell to his time at Real Madrid with a clear message: the fight for LaLiga continues and there will be no concessions to the eternal rival. The fans hope the team maintains competitiveness until the end of the season, while the coach prepares for what could be his last chapter on the white bench.
