Carlo Ancelotti, after the classic victory, appeared this morning in the Valdebebas press room, prior to tomorrow's match against Rayo at the Bernabéu, with a message of calm: "Now we have three games at home (two in the League) and this is the time to strike a strong blow. But the League is going to be very competitive this year and until the end we are going to fight against Barcelona and Atlético and see what happens with Girona, who are doing very well. well and we have to see if it holds up," said the Real Madrid coach.
The Italian coach does not trust Rayo: "The priority is tomorrow's game because we are playing against a solid and very well organized team. It is true that in the next three games we will see rotations," he confirmed.
Bellingham's good moment came up in the press conference: "So far, Bellingham has not shown any flaws. He does not have to improve. At this level the important thing is continuity, which is what makes the difference in great players. The most striking thing is his goals, but I also highlight the work he does with and without the ball. His physical performance is very high for a player with these characteristics."
Ancelotti also spoke about the injured: "Having Camavinga play instead of Tchouaméni is an option (the French midfielder is out for six to eight weeks). Of the squad, he is the one who most resembles him due to his characteristics. Ceballos will return to work next time week. Mendy has no injury, just an overload and I think he will be ready for the game against Braga on Wednesday. Mendy is the reference full-back and in some situations Camavinga can also contribute. Fran García is doing very well. "He doesn't play anymore for the competition."
Ancelotti also spoke about the lack of goals from Vinícius (3) and Rodrygo (2), the two renewed this week: "I think Rodrygo and Vinicius are going to score more goals throughout the season. More than Bellingham and Joselu... "We have no doubts about this. The important thing is that when they are not there, others appear. We are in no hurry in this sense."
Ancelotti sees Vínícius well despite the criticism received this week: "He is fine. I think he is unfortunately used to this. He is focused on his game and his work. I don't have to tell him anything in this regard."
The Italian coach announced that the 18-year-old Turkish Arda Güler (signed this summer and still unreleased) will enter the list: "He started training with the team this week. Tomorrow he will be in the squad and little by little he will have minutes "There are specific plans to prepare his physical condition. He is a midfielder, but he can also play as an interior, center forward or winger on the right with a changed leg."
Finally, Ancelotti spoke about the Libertadores final that will be played tonight in Rio between Fluminense and Boca Juniors: "I will watch the match with the Fluminense shirt, for Marcelo. I have nothing against Boca Juniors, but here in the "Real Madrid we are very fans of Marcelo and I hope he can win another title."
