Real Madrid’s coach wants to believe in a Remontada

Carlo Ancelotti seems very interested in Remontada. Real Madrid fans are waiting for the big come-back but they don’t know whether Vini, Karim and co can turn things around!

The game against PSG

What do you fear most about tomorrow’s game? “Usually I don’t think about what I fear, but about what we have to do. On the eve of a game you don’t think about what you have to avoid, but what you have to do”. Who has more to lose, you or the team? “Here when we lose, we all lose. We both have the same thing to lose: leaving a competition that is very important to us. I am convinced that we will continue to live in the Champions League, but PSG will think the same”. Criticism in case of being eliminated: “The season, so far, has been full of buts. We won, ‘but’; if we don’t have Courtois, ‘but’; Karim doesn’t score goals, ‘but’; low block, ‘but’ – Too many cons. Everyone has their opinion.” High pressure: “Pressing high up in a game like this forces you to make enormous defensive vigilance, because there will be rivals like Neymar or Mbappe on the counter. The fans will be important tomorrow. We’re going to play the game the fans want”.

What was the lesson in Paris

Lessons from Paris: “We were not able to do what we had planned. We suffered a lot in PSG’s high pressure and we were not able, from the ball out, to build attacking opportunities. Defensively, the low block has gone well, but with the ball has to be done better”. Injured pride after the first leg: “Of course. This team has a lot of pride. We are convinced that the best Real Madrid can compete with the best is PSG. In the first leg we saw the best PSG; hopefully tomorrow we will see the best Real Madrid”.
