The whites receive this Saturday the Atlético at the Bernabeu and Ancelotti He said it will be a “special” derby.

sensations
“I see the team well. We left the Champions League game with good feelings and good dynamics. It will be a special game, against a team that is in a good moment. It will be a beautiful game like the one in the Copa del Rey”.
Win the League and Champions
“Everyone knows how important the Champions League is for this club. This does not mean that we are not going to fight for all the titles, we are going to use all our energy to win LaLiga. To this day, we are going to fight for all competitions. In the League we have a disadvantage…”.
Nacho ends contract
“I don’t know what will happen next year with Nacho. Maybe we are both here. I would like to continue seeing it in Valdebebas instead of on TV. I hope so…”.
His relationship with Nacho
“I see it every day and there has been a time when I was not happy. With me he has not complained and has continued to suffer the period that he has not played. He has been a professional and when I needed him he has always delivered. I have a weakness which is that Madrid is happy… and that only happens if we win. I feel sorry for my players because I am very fond of them. I just want Real Madrid to be satisfied… and having said that, tomorrow they will play on the left side”.
Vinicius’ physical state
“It is rare that he never gets injured, but he has spectacular genetics. Thanks to the parents. And then his professionalism, because he takes great care of himself, before and after games and training sessions. He is a boy who is very focused on his work”.
Arbitration
“It is a derby in which all the teams are at stake. It is something special for the fans, although we are used to it. The rivalry is very big. The referee is an international referee and I think he has the experience to whistle for this type of match. He is highly valued in Europe and he has the necessary experience ”.
Sergio Ramos withdrew from the national team due to age
“The issue of age is like that of youth. If a footballer complies, you don’t have to look at the DNI. If a player is 16 years old and turns… well, he will have to play. You have to evaluate what happens in the field every day. This is our job and age, for better or for worse, cannot be decisive. Sometimes they say that I don’t train the quarry and in his day I put Buffon, who was 16 years old. He was very good, better than others and that’s why he played. Maldini trained once a week and played because he was the best of all”.
Simeone
“I would like to spend time with him because we love football. He has nothing to learn from me. I have never seen how he works and I would like, from my personal experience, what his work is like on a day-to-day basis. This always gives you more knowledge, seeing how the rest of the coaches prepare the game. That’s where you learn.”
Will you continue at Madrid next year?
“Yes Yes. I do not have to renew, it is something that has been done. I’m quiet. The only thing I have to do is win matches (laughs)”.
Arbitration and corruption issue
“There is no corruption here or in Europe. The referees fail everywhere and if they fail you just have to accept it. I get angry sometimes, but I am super convinced that at the moment there is no corruption in the world of football”.
