‘Someone forgets that Camavinga played in this year’s Champions League final. The two main players are Kroos and Camavinga, they have great quality. There’s also Modric and Chuameni. It’s a pity for Ceballos, he contributed a lot, but as usual we will take him off. ‘
Ancelotti also spoke about Valverde, who has been struggling with physical issues and has missed the last two games against Girona and Real Sociedad, as well as Saturday’s trip to Real Betis.
‘No rest, no injury. He had a little discomfort and will not be able to play tomorrow, but he will be available for the next game,’ the Italian coach said.
Ancelotti also spoke about the workload of his attacking players, who have dropped back to help with the defense. Which has resulted in the team having more balance than before, saying: ‘Vinicius has helped a lot. The team has changed a lot because the forwards are working very hard. The team is stronger. I don’t think as a coach I see Vinicius not playing as a midfielder. ‘
The Italian coach also revealed that he had held a conference call with Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo Goes to discuss their defensive play.
‘We’ve talked about this many times, not only with Vinicius but with everyone and they agree. Chip has changed significantly in the last few games, since the game against Atletico, the defense has improved significantly.’
