He defends Madrid, Ancelotti responds to Xavi Hernandez after referee complaints
Carlo Ancelotti responded to Xavi Hernandez after his referee complaints.
Spanish football is going through a war between Real Madrid and Barcelona, well, the Catalans do not stop complaining about the referees. Even yesterday, Xavi Hernandez commented that the competition is adulterated... Today, Ancelotti has responded.
"I am a professional and, as such, I do not want to stoop to this level. Out of respect for Spanish football, I'm not going to do it. So don't ask any more questions about it. That level is not professional.” said Ancelotti, who entered the press room with a half smile, but became serious when he heard about the “Adulterated League.”
Carlo Ancelotti knows that tomorrow's match against Atletico Madrid is of utmost importance, and he also knows what he has to do to win: "Tomorrow is very important. It will be the third time we face each other in a short time... and "These matches have always been competitive, equal, spectacular. Tomorrow, the same. The match has a key importance. It is good to return to the Bernabéu, the fans will help us tomorrow."
Ancelotti revealed Rudiger's physical condition:
He has improved a lot in the last 24 hours and today we expect the same. We will evaluate it tomorrow and make a decision. It is a blow to a muscle that is not so important, because it is the vastus lateralis (of the quadriceps), there is no internal damage; but we must evaluate it. His evolution gives us confidence. He will be in the squad and tomorrow I will decide if he plays or not.
