Real Madrid’s losses and the saturation of matches due to a tight calendar were the focus on the eve of the duel between the whites and Naples at the Santiago Bernabéu, and in which they must mathematically certify their group leadership towards the round of 16. Champions League final. «An elite player who plays for one of the main teams in Europe, who is international, the schedule is very demanding. I share the coach’s opinion that there are too many games. It is complex, and there are many players who do not agree with playing so much. That there are so many injuries is no coincidence. Many people say that the players should lower their salaries, because we will earn less if we play less, but you can’t squeeze that much out of the players. “The quality of the matches goes down,” Dani Carvajal lamented at the Valdebebas press conference after learning that Modric joins the group of eight players that plagues the Chamartín team’s infirmary.
The future of the white coach was another of the issues insisted upon during the appearance. The club seems to have the intention of offering him a renewal given Brazil’s desire to sign him as coach for the next Copa América in 2024.
«There are few coaches who can do it better than Carlo at Real Madrid. In this club, if you don’t win anything, the coach’s head rolls and so do some players. It’s like that here and in all the big clubs. “I would renew it now,” the international full-back advanced before giving way to his coach, who showed little concern about the wave of casualties in his team and remained firm in the face of questions that went beyond June of next year. «15 years at Real Madrid? Simeone is special, like Ferguson or Wenger. The life of a coach at a club is much shorter. “I don’t talk about my future,” he repeated.
«Talking a lot about the losses seems to me a lack of respect for the players who are going to play. They are contributing in ways that could never have been expected. We have a very good squad. I am calm because the youth players are also prepared,” said the man from Reggiolo, who gave the press the opportunity to repeat the question every time someone questioned him about his future. As for the rival, the transalpine coach showed his concern about the quality of the rival and aimed on the counterattack with one of Napoli’s most dangerous weapons, with the Nigerian Victor Osimhen and the Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the most prominent players.
«The first leg was balanced. I think it will be similar,” he responded while expressing his happiness for continuing to climb the white Olympus and being, since last weekend, the second coach with the most goals scored in the history of the entity. “Reaching the level of a legend like Miguel Muñoz makes me happy and is the basis for continuing.”
He was also asked about the relationship he has with the club compared to many others he has been through: «Obviously, I have affection for all the teams I have been able to work for. “I don’t want to disrespect anyone by choosing one or making a classification, but I have something special with Milan, for being a player and coach, and something special with Madrid, for being the biggest club in the world.”
