Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has stressed that there is no special treatment for star players at the club, including Kylian Mbappe.
After a grand welcome ceremony for Mbappe, Real Madrid are actively preparing for the upcoming season. The team will play friendly matches against AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea, and will face Atalanta on August 15th for the European Super Cup. Regarding preparations, Ancelotti said: “The squad is settled. Vallejo is back, Alaba is recovering, we also have some young players in training who have shown great potential, such as the three center-backs: Joan Martinez, Ramon and Raul Asensio. We feel secure in this position. Alaba will be back and he will perform well. Nobody is leaving, because everyone wants to stay.”
Mbappe is still enjoying his holiday after the European Championship, but he is expected to return before Real Madrid’s first trophy battle of the season – the European Super Cup. However, there is no special treatment for star players at Real Madrid. Ancelotti said: “The European Super Cup is still some time away, so we are now focusing on the players who have returned, even though we still have players on holiday, we have a very good squad. New season tactics? We will probably use 433 or 442, similar to last year, we have enough resources in our squad to support these formations. Changes in tactical style? We need to attack with depth, getting into the opponent’s half quickly will create more opportunities to cause trouble. I’m not saying we will keep the same style as last season completely, there will be some changes, but not too many, our philosophy is always to control the game, attack with depth, and defend well, which is what we did very well last year.”
“Real Madrid’s success is due to the history and tradition of the club, as well as the ability of the management”, Ancelotti said: “They are able to build a great squad over a period of time, which is key to Real Madrid becoming the biggest club in the world.”
