The Italian Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, was "concerned, like the entire football world" after learning the latest information about the 'Negreira case' in which the judge accused Barcelona yesterday of bribery and urged them to "stop work for justice."
“On this issue, I am worried; like the entire football world about such a serious matter. Justice is working on this and we have to let them work,” he said at a press conference. “I have lived in this world of football for 40 years and when these types of issues happen it worries us all. I hope that justice can do its job and reach a solution,” he insisted.
Furthermore, Ancelotti referred to the words of an Argentine Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, who assured that Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of the rojiblanco club, "ends up saying what many sometimes do not want to comment on", in reference to the manager's words reproduced by 'Marca', in which the entity's largest shareholder said that Real Madrid "adulterates the competition." “He made a mistake by making this statement and I am not going to get involved in a topic that makes no sense to me,” Ancelotti commented.
Ancelotti confirmed that the Brazilian Vinícius Junior, who missed a month of competition due to a muscle injury, will start on Saturday against Girona (6:30 p.m. CEST, -2 GMT) in a match for which the Austrian David Alaba will not be there. , which he hopes to recover for Tuesday's Champions League match against Naples.
“Vinícius is fine and will play from the beginning, then we will see how many minutes he can last; I think he can last 90 minutes. He is very well, fully recovered and he is going to contribute to us,” he said at a press conference.
Furthermore, he explained the images that were published in which he was seen angry with 'Vini' during the match against UD Las Palmas in which the Brazilian played for just over half an hour. “I told him to take care of himself, because we didn't want to take risks; although he wanted to play at his best. I just told him to control himself,” he revealed.
Real Madrid plays again in Girona this Saturday (6:30 p.m. CEST, -2 GMT), in a Montilivi stadium where last season they lost 4-2 with four goals from Argentine Taty Castellanos, something that the Real Madrid coach white team, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, assured that “it will not happen” again.
“We are alerted because of how well Girona plays, not because of what happened last year, with our League finished and with other objectives. It wasn't a good night, but what happened last season won't happen tomorrow. We have many options to win the game,” he said at a press conference.
