Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, explained his decisions regarding the eleventh minute before the start of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City. “Rodrygo is in a good dynamic, he can be dangerous, he has done very well in recent games. He is a player who works and is committed,” said the Italian on Movistar.
“It is difficult for Casemiro to be able to play, he is better but still not 100%,” added Carletto about the Brazilian, who is on the bench due to some discomfort. “I prefer to avoid risks because there is a second leg and he may be available”, valued the white coach.
“Guardiola didn’t surprise me too much, we have to be vigilant because the layout on the pitch can change. We have to be ready for anything. They’re very dangerous up front, very strong and we’ll have to defend well when we don’t have the ball”.
“We have to do everything well, in attack and defence, with personality and courage with the ball and with commitment without the ball. I know my players well, they are not afraid to play these games. The one who is most concerned is me. It’s a moment important for the club and for us, we are happy to be here”, he added.
