Eden Hazard’s recent announcement of his retirement from the Belgian national team raised eyebrows among Real Madrid fans, especially as he mentioned that he barely talks to his club coach, Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti confirmed this during a press conference on Tuesday, stating that while they speak little, their relationship is not cold. He added that such differences in communication could be attributed to differences in personalities and that what matters most is mutual respect. Regarding Hazard’s playing time, Ancelotti explained that there is a lot of competition in the team, especially in his position, where Vinicius has been performing exceptionally well. He emphasized that he will count on whichever players the club provides him with for the next season.
Real Madrid need to play well in both defence and attack
Looking ahead to the second leg of the Champions League last 16 tie against Liverpool, where Real Madrid has a 5-2 lead, Ancelotti acknowledged that it would be a complicated game for his team as Liverpool would have to go all out from the start. He urged his team to avoid making calculations during the game and play with intensity from the first minute to try to win the match on the night. He emphasized the need to play well in both defence and attack but placed more emphasis on attacking.
Ancelotti’s comments reflect a pragmatic and realistic approach to the situation. While acknowledging the competitive environment, he emphasizes the importance of mutual respect between players and coach. His remarks on the upcoming game show a willingness to learn from past mistakes and to focus on the present. His approach may help in fostering a positive and constructive environment within the team, leading to better performance and results.
