Carlo held Ancelotti A press conference in Open Media Day For final Champions League in Real Madrid Ciudad. The coach said: “We are very excited despite everything the final requires. We want to start the week well, training with calm and confidence. We will enjoy this week considering the difficulty of the match. Reaching the final is a success for the season and I think we performed well. We will enjoy this moment.” Until the final day, we have confidence that we will arrive in the best possible condition.”
He added, “We do not think that we are the favorites to win. We think about playing against a competitor who deserved to reach the final after eliminating high-profile teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico. Borussia is a team that has quality and commitment, and we know that we will suffer, struggle and fight, as in all finals.”
Pre-match
“We are happy to be champions again in the most important match of the season. We are excited to be in the final and to be part of it all. This is my ninth final if you count the three finals as a player, and my sixth as a coach. I face the remaining week with great happiness. Fear will arrive “But before he arrives, I want to have fun, and I will.”
President before the Champions League final
“The president is always calm before these types of matches. He has great confidence and conveys his affection to us. He is very happy and spending time with him before the matches is very nice.”
Trust in his players
“We will fight on Saturday afternoon. I am ready and this is normal. I have experience. My team gives me confidence and hope because I see the players completely focused on the final.”
Dortmund
“It is characterized by perseverance, commitment, quality and talent. Our opponent has players of great quality, including young people and veterans. What catches my attention most is their commitment and struggle to reach the final, as they showed against Paris Saint-Germain in the two matches. The struggle and desire to win are what worries me most.”
Preparing for the final
“We have a week to prepare for the match and we will do it well. We will focus on defensive and offensive work. We must have a clear idea of what to do and that is the most important thing. I have always done that and I will do it this week as well. I will provide clear information to the players so that they have a clear idea of what to do.” “They have to do it. It’s the best way to relieve stress. When you know what to do, you focus and don’t think about other things that cause stress.”
Ending the season in the best way
“I have my own routine and I will continue to do it. I do not do anything special. I believe in superstitions because I have learned that not believing in them brings bad luck. We will enjoy it all because we know that we have done something good this season and we want to end it in the best possible way.”
Efficiency in the Champions League
“The answer to this question is complex and simple. Why is this competition so special? The club has made its history in this competition. Real Madrid’s history goes back to the 1950s. For the club, for all Real Madrid fans, and for us, who are also Madridistas, it is something Especially, this is a competition in which we focus more.”
Veterans and young people
“The veterans are an example to follow. This generation has played a lot of finals. It is a committed and positive generation. The veterans have contributed, they are still contributing and they will continue to contribute in the future. There has been a shift in recent years and there are fewer veterans. There will be young people who will take on more responsibility.” “This is a transformation that the club is leading very well. Many young people have arrived with great technical quality, who understand what Real Madrid is.”
Personal relationships
“I think the fundamental aspect of life is the relationship between people, the relationships with your family, your friends and those who work with you. It’s all based on respect. I feel good doing that and I hope people understand that. Personal relationships are more important than professional relationships.”
Dressing room management
“I am not a psychologist, but I have experience because I worked for many years in the dressing room. Personal relationships, in my opinion, are the most important, and I try to treat people with respect not only in tactical aspects, but also in personal aspects. I have 50 people around me and I spend time with them.” “More than I spend with my wife and kids, so if the relationship isn’t good, there won’t be a good atmosphere and you won’t do well.”
Arda Guler
“In the last matches, Arda showed his quality and talent, and showed his potential in the matches. He will play because he scored great goals, with a 100% success rate, and he is an option available to us.”
What moment do you remember from the Champions League?
“There are many moments. We reach a final very similar to the 2022 final with a lot of suffering. We had an amazing performance in the group stage, winning all the matches. But then we had problems with Leipzig in the second leg, because the team did not play well. In the quarter-finals, we played against the best team in this competition, and we were able to eliminate them after an amazing defensive performance. Then came the remontada against Bayern. These are the three moments that I want to highlight, in addition to the moment Joselu entered the semi-finals.
Lacrosse’s last game
“It will be Kroos’ last game and I hope he can finish his career by winning the Champions League, because he deserves it on an individual level. However, winning the Champions League again does not add to his truly amazing career. He has been a fantastic player during these years.” Ten, and he became a legend at Real Madrid. It would be great to finish the season in the Champions League, even though he is already a historic player in football, and not just at Real Madrid.”
“There is no player as good as all of them together.”
“Commitment and perseverance were the keys to overcoming all the difficulties we faced. Everyone has forgotten now, but we take into account Courtois’ injury, Militao’s injury and Alaba’s injury. And then came Vini’s two-month absence, and Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchomeney’s absence for a month. Despite this All in all, perseverance and commitment allowed us to have a great season. Individual quality is there as well, but Di Stefano’s phrase is the best.”
Borussia experience
“We know exactly who Dortmund are. They have a lot of experience in this competition and that is important. They are a team that has deservedly reached the Champions League final. Have the two best teams reached the Champions League final? Yes. Our vacation has not started yet, but others have started their vacation and will follow the final.” On TV.”
Another fan
“I will try to do my best for this club, because it is a special club. I cannot speak in this way about all the clubs I have been in. I feel like another fan as I felt with Milan. Now I feel that with Real Madrid. I am another fan of this club and this shirt.” “I am overwhelmed by the same feelings: sadness and happiness. Now I have a great opportunity to give something to this club and I will do my best.”
The opponent’s plan in the Champions League final
“We have to be ready for all aspects of the game. We will have to defend strongly because Dortmund are huge in transition with Sancho and Adeyemi. They also have very strong headers and have a strong defensive block. They play very similar to us and perform well in all aspects of the game. They defend “They are pressing offensively and playing brilliantly. It will be a competitive and difficult match, and whoever does the best will win.”
Europa League final
“Every match has its story. Atalanta is an Italian team. I want to congratulate it and its coach Gasperini as well. But our match is different, with different characteristics and tactics. The best, which is Atalanta, won in the Europa League.”
Who will be the goalkeeper?
“It is very difficult to know because they both deserve to play in this final. Lunin, who has a fever, had a great season, Courtois is back from his injury and everyone knows his quality. It is a complicated decision, but I will wait until the end to make the decision.”
Routine before the final
“I like to eat broccoli, salmon and pasta. I will do that and then I will take a nap for an hour if I can. Then I will think about the match and, before talking to the players, my heart rate will go up to 110 or 120, and it will stay at that level until the match starts. And when the match starts, “My heartbeat will return to its normal rhythm.”
Vinnie Jr. comes forward
“The work we did with Vinny was good. In addition to his great talent, he has qualities such as moving without the ball, getting rid of marking and choosing when to play inside and when to play outside. He continues to make a lot of progress. I think he is more focused on collective awards than on the team.” On individual trophies, he is more focused on winning the Champions League with Real Madrid than winning individual trophies.”
Information about the opponent’s dressing room
“There are many ways to evaluate the opposing team. We watch a lot of videos of their matches, but we don’t need more reports because we have them. In football there are no secrets, and with technology we can see everything. We don’t need to give more information to the players.”
Motivation to win the Champions League
“Continuing to win the Champions League is another motivation. We can compare ourselves to the 1950s because it is an incentive to take Real Madrid to the maximum.”
Overcoming difficulties
“When Courtois was injured, we had Andre and we signed Kepa. It was a very good deal because, even though he did not play much, he contributed in the dressing room. When Militao was injured it was Alaba, Rudiger and Nacho. When Alaba was injured, we could have faced A problem, but we did not consider that we had a problem and this was very important. The players took advantage of the opportunity that was given to them. I want to thank Tshwamini for his work because he did not like it very much, but he preferred to play rather than stay on the bench like Camavinga who played. “As a left back, although he doesn’t like it, my players have adapted perfectly.”
Nacho’s future
“The only thing Nacho told me was that we would talk after the final match, and I asked him to call me because I was on vacation.”
