Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media after Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Las Palmas and took first place in the La Liga standings. After the match, Ancelotti was asked about Kylian Mbappé’s performance and positioning, to which he responded: “He is the best center forward in the world, there were doubts about whether he could play there or if he would be better on the left. He is a great forward, he is very good in the center, more than on the wings, his career is unique and he can make better use of it inside.”
Ancelotti on praise after criticism
“Football is like that now, I’m still a little confused. There are days when we play very bad football and I see Madrid leading. I will continue studying to see if I am wrong or not. The match was complete, with a lot of quality. We started badly, but we held up well. Mbappé helped us a lot.”
Ancelotti on how to raise awareness in the team
“We are able to have a balance to have good moments and difficult moments. I think the criticism is harsher with Madrid than with other teams, yes. There are criticisms and there are criticisms, the whistles are criticisms that hurt, it is the fans that are not happy, and that motivates. It’s a wake-up call. What happened against Celta was a good wake-up call for the team, we have produced a good version.”
Ancelotti on whether Real Madrid plays the best football
“I don’t want to say that we are the ones who play the best, sometimes we play well and other times we don’t. The team is working hard, sometimes it plays better and sometimes not, sometimes it lacks balance, sometimes it lacks commitment… Nobody is perfect. “I don’t see any super team playing fantastically, we try to play with the characteristics of our players.”
Ancelotti on the order of penalty takers
“Vinicius, Mbappé and Bellingham.”
Ancelotti on whether this has been the hardest week
“No, it has been a difficult week, like all those that hit you and you have to be with the team, cheering it on… When you lose the Clásico it is more difficult, of course, but in difficult times the only thing The best way to overcome it is to be self-critical and positive”.
Ancelotti on Ceballos’ statements about Simeone
“I already said what I had to say, I consider it a closed topic.”
