Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the media on the eve of the League match against Getafe. The Italian manager analysed the game at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium: “We have a clear style of play in mind and I am pleased with my team but against Getafe we have to play with a lot of intensity from the start” At the start of the last few games, we haven't played with a lot of intensity and tomorrow gives us the opportunity to go out and play with a lot of intensity from the start. We particularly have to improve that aspect of our play".
When asked about the style of play of his team, he was unequivocal: “We are trying to play in a different way, but the most important thing is to have a clear style of play, which is what we have. We need to improve this style, which is about dictating play and manoeuvring the ball efficiently. That means we have to find a quick offensive solution. Possession can help the opponents to get into position and defend better. These are top class players and they have a lot of experience and character. We have to have greater spontaneity and quicker interchange in our play. We have to utilise the quality of our players in the game. We have to find a positive offensive solution and we have players who specialise in counter-attacking play and making the most of space. We have to maintain that quality. The speed of Cristiano Ronaldo can turn possession into a counter-attack. I am Italian and I think that counter-attacking is a good solution".
In reference to Cristiano Ronaldo and what he brings to the team, he said: “I do not like to have control over the private lives of player and I am not the right person to speak about his intimacy. He is a fantastic professional and he is very much focused at training both before and after. He is a fine example for the rest and especially for the young players. He has a loft of quality and professionalism". And, about the player to take free-kicks, he confirmed: “Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of quality and skill. Bale can take the odd free-kick here and there and so too can Di María. Cristiano will be the main man and the others are behind him in the pecking order”.
About the team that will start the game against Getafe, Ancelotti said: “I will decide tomorrow because I have players who have played a lot and we have to be wary of injuries. That means that those who are available will have a greater chance of playing". And when questioned about the pressure that comes with managing players of the stature of those that make up the Real Madrid squad, he said: “There is less pressure because knowing that I can call on such good players means that I have more chance of doing a good job. That's why there's less pressure".
The Italian manager also spoke about the recoveries of Varane, Coentrão and Ramos. "He is still unavailable. He started training with the team this week. He is in good shape and next week he will be available and he could play. We have worked with him to prevent problems and protect him from future problems. When he starts to play, he will be ready to play the 90 minutes" he said about the Frenchman. About the Portuguese, he stated: “When he came from international duty, he had this niggle. He is feeling fine, motivated and happy. He could play on Wednesday against Elche". And about the Spaniard, he indicated: “After the game in Istanbul, he was feeling tired and we preferred to put him through a recovery programme and have him in the gym. He doesn't have any particular problems and he will be in the squad. I don't think he will play, although he is available".
