On Friday, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the pre-match press conference for the match against Valladolid, where he spoke about the team’s situation, as well as mentioning his conversation with Rodrygo and the team’s overall tactical arrangements.
Regarding Bellingham’s condition, Ancelotti said: “He was kicked, he got a little injured, he’s being assessed.”
Speaking about Rodrygo’s importance, he said: “We all know his quality. He’s been excellent in the last two games. In a team as offensive as this, forwards need to make more of an effort, and he’s doing that very well.”
Asked if he had spoken to Rodrygo, Ancelotti replied: “I spoke to him this week, I asked him if anything had happened. He told me that the news on the internet was false. He is happy here, and he is training hard. He has no problem.”
On whether the team is taking a risk by not bringing in a centre-back, he said: “No, we have the resources. We have a lot of good young players, like Asencio (not the original one), and also Camavinga.”
Regarding the team’s tendency to attack down the left flank, Ancelotti said: “It’s not just a characteristic of this team, but also of recent years. With Vinicius, we attack more down the left, because he has great quality. And then there’s Benzema, Bellingham… it works very well, and now I don’t need to tell them to attack on other flanks.”
On Mbappe’s upcoming debut at the Bernabeu, Ancelotti said: “It will be a very beautiful day for Mbappe, he will play at the Bernabeu for the first time wearing the Real Madrid shirt. The fans will enjoy it.”
On Endrick’s situation, Ancelotti said: “He’s doing well, like the rest of the players. He’s adapting well. He has impressive talent, and considering the team’s competition, he will get the playing time he deserves.”
