Florentino's concern for Ancelotti that Sacchi calmed

Carlo Ancelotti has signed his return to Real Madrid. The coach who brought La Décima to the white showcase, that of Ramos's header against Atleti in Lisbon. As soon as the white team called him, he did not think about it and left Everton. The reactions to his signing have not been made wait and the own Carletto He has already pronounced his first words as Zidane's successor on the Whites' bench. On La Gazzetta dello Sport have wanted to know one more opinion, authorized in this regard, since it is about Arrigo Sacchi, Ancelotti's teacher, good friend of Florentino Pérez and former sports director of Madrid.

Opinion on his return: “I knew that Real Madrid had in mind some names of Italian coaches, and among them, there was also Carlo. I thought he was fine at Everton, but if Real Madrid comes, how can you say no? That Carlo knew the environment and the surroundings was decisive. He has a lot of experience, he is a great coach and he has won everywhere: Italy, England, Germany, Spain and France. “

Three Italians (Conte, Allegri and Ancelotti) on the list of candidates: “It means that our football is in good health. I know the mentality of Madrid well, he was a sports director there. I know what they ask of a coach: they don't want to win without making merits for it, they don't seek to succeed above all else as it happens here in Italy. I hope that exporting coaches is a step towards a new football. If Spain wins six Champions League and seven Europa League in the last ten years and Italy zero … Do we want to wake up? We need a more courageous football. “

Redemption for Ancelotti?: “Carlo arrived in 2013, they were obsessed with La Décima. I remember that after hiring him, Pérez called me and said: 'Did you explain to him that here in Madrid we have to own the ball and the game?' I assured that I had made the right decision: in the first season they won the Champions League. In that triumph people saw beauty, emotion and dominated the game. The second season was more irregular, but the Club World Cup was brought home. Still, there was a divorce, but these things happen in football. “

“Florentino called me and said: 'Did you explain to him that here in Madrid we have to own the ball and the game?'. I reassured him …”

Review of Ancelotti: “If I say that I consider him my son, I hope he does not get angry. I wanted him at Milan in 1987, although I knew he had knee pain. I convinced Berlusconi and told him that with Ancelotti we would win the Scudetto. In that first season I could see how humble Carlo was. “

Anecdote: “He was already 28 years old, he was in the national team. One day Berlusconi told me: 'You wanted a conductor who doesn't know the score.' Carletto hadn't found the mechanisms yet. I told him what Berlusconi said and he told me : 'What do we do?'. 'Simple', I replied. 'More lessons. You come in the morning, called Primavera (reserve team) and we tried all the situations that may arise in a match.' Carlo accepted with enthusiasm and worked more harder than before. That is his strength. He is a reliable person in a world where it is not always like this … “.
