Vini He was injured in the final stages of the match in Butarque, and after being asked about his injury, Carletto downplayed the fact that the injury occurred so close to the final whistle: “He was injured at the end of the game, the important thing is not when….but that he recovers soon and think about the players who are going to replace him.”
“I hear a lot of advice, but I think we must not forget that I have made 1,300 games, 1,300 lineups, almost 4,000 changes, I think no one here can give me advice”the Real Madrid coach exploded.
Ancelotti preferred to think on the positive side of his star’s absence, pointing to the calendar as responsible for the injury: “The player is professional and is not going to risk injuries. Sometimes it happens that players get injured because there are too many games.. How can it be avoided? It’s a bit complicated, it’s not just a problem for Real Madrid, it’s general. We have to think like last year, that injuries have been a great opportunity to be better. “It is no coincidence that injuries have changed the dynamic of this team.”
The Italian coach also reviewed the match against Liverpool, the current Champions League leader: “I’m fine, as is the team. The last two games have gone well, we’ve found a good level. We are more solid and we have the same confidence as always for this match, against an opponent who is playing very well. I consider it a great opportunity for us to return to our best level. I am confident that it will be a great match and the team will be competitive,” predicted Carlo Ancelotti.
