Real Madrid, Ancelotti: “I won’t say that Messi is the strongest. Me coach of Brazil? I’ll explain…”

“They haven’t called me from Brazil, but if they were really interested I would appreciate it. My position, however, is clear: I will never tell Real Madrid that my adventure here is over.” Carlo Ancelotti is in the mood for year-end confessions and willingly submits to the series of post-World Cup questions even if the contingency is closely linked to La Liga (read: pre-match press conference against Real Valladolid, owned by the Ronaldo Phenomenon).

Training the Ballon d’Or

—

King Charles also has a ready opinion on Lionel Messi and the new discussion that concerns him after the winning expedition to Qatar: is he the best ever? “Hard to say – replies the Real Madrid coach -. Every era has had its great players. Certainly the phrase `Messi is the best in history´ will not come out of my mouth. I enjoyed it thanks to so many good players, and I train every day for the Ballon d’Or. And I’ve seen Crujiff play, Maradona…”.

Benzema and craque

—

And speaking of the Golden Ball, the point on Benzema: “He returned from vacation on December 10 and was quite well. He worked with the team, and played half an hour and 45 minutes in friendlies. I think he will soon show his qualities “. A joke on the January transfer market: “Everything is closed on entry, there will be no signings – explains Ancelotti -, because we have an excellent squad. We don’t know the exits, because perhaps some who play less will want to leave”. the rest, we will have to wait for 2024, when the new craque will arrive Endrick: “A great player, a real talent. The club has reached an agreement, including with the family, for 2024 and that’s good news.”
