Madrid, 8 November 2024 – The moment of Real Madrid it is not the most positive, in fact the clear defeats suffered in the Classic (0-4 col Barça) and in Champions (1-3 col Milan). Nevertheless Ancelotti, who has gone through difficult periods in his career and knows well how to get out of them, has full confidence in his stellar team and in his work, seeing the future of the season in a positive light.

Ancelotti's words

"I continue to think that this will be a great season - he says on the eve of the challenge againstOsasuna -, we will fight to win in all competitions, you will see that it will be like this, in a month we can win theIntercontinental, we are in the running in the Champions League and in the league despite the latest defeats, as always we will fight to win. It is a difficult moment for everyone and it is clear to everyone, but in sport it happens, football also includes defeats, we must accept it without giving up. This is a strong group, it has great motivation, it knows it is in the best place in the world to get out of this period and I am convinced that we will do it soon". "It is not an offensive problem, but a defensive one". Read in backlight Mbappé who "is training well, is going through a difficult time… like everyone else. And like everyone else, you have to think that this is an opportunity, that if you are smart you can do it quickly, with more focus and attitude. This is how problems should be faced. The problem he suffers from is everyone's problem: he can't bring out his best version. But you have to live this moment as an opportunity to be better in the future. I am convinced that he will make it. And like him, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham… Me myself". As for me "I enjoy every day at Real Madrid, even in difficult moments. Because I see people united to bring out the best. The support of the club and the players. Personally, it's been long nights, thinking a lot and looking for solutions. Then, sharing these solutions... and the nights are starting to become very long."
