On August 30 at 03:30, in the third round of La Liga, Las Palmas VS Real Madrid. Before the match, Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the press conference.
Ancelotti said, “The registration controversy with Olmo? Please ask La Liga about that. We respect all players and teams.”
“So many ACL injuries? This is the result of a congested schedule, with no time for preparation or rest. Matches for ten to eleven months, very many. The intensity in August is the highest, which ultimately affects you. It is a problem for everyone, and it’s sad.”
“David Alaba is still recovering, and his condition is very good. Today he participated in recovery training at the training ground, and it looks good. What’s important is to be patient.”
“Talk about Mbappe? I think he last scored on August 14. That was just two weeks ago, we are not worried, and neither is he. His attitude is excellent, and he is very humble. He improves every day, and we are very satisfied with him.”
“After Casemiro left, Valverde took over the leadership role. He has done excellently. Valverde becomes more and more important every day. He is a leader in the locker room, and that’s what he should do. Great professional players are like that. He creates a serious yet positive atmosphere. This season I asked him to score 30 goals (laughs)”
“Militao has returned to his best form. He is an excellent partner for Rudiger, and his long passes are outstanding, which is very useful for our fast forwards.”
“Our squad depth is sufficient. In this aspect, we are very lucky and very good.”
