The coach on the eve of the Champions League match: “A comparison with the team? When there are stupid things, just don’t pick them up.” And on Madrid: “We’re talking about a club that has some experience in the Champions League”
Real Madrid led by former player Carlo Ancelotti arrives at Maradona tomorrow. A Napoli awaits him on the road to recovery, after a less than brilliant start. Coach Rudi Garcia explains what happened: “For us there was nothing catastrophic, when the ball goes in it’s easier to win games. There are those who have found confidence in themselves again, like Kvara, and we’re back in the top four.” And again: “A comparison with the team? When there are stupid things, just don’t take them back… I talk to my players, I created a council of wise men with the leaders but in all the clubs I’ve been to it’s the coach who call the players to talk, not the other way around. Instead they should do it more.” Tomorrow Real Madrid, in a full stadium: “The nice thing is that Maradona will be sold out, full of fans who will give our boys extra energy. We will play to win, in the league it is almost full points, with a great coach , a technical and powerful team.” Without underestimating the pedigree of the Spaniards: “We are talking about one of the greatest clubs in the world, with a unique list of successes. A club that has some experience in the Champions League…”
