“We were clear, no one would want to play” – these are the harsh declarations of Ancelotti at a press conference ahead of the fourth round of Champions League against Milanafter the tragedy that struck Valencia. “Football now takes a backseat, we should stop” – a harsh accusation a Ceferin and Tebas.

Ancelotti harsh: “The world of football was clear”
Ancelotti firmly explained his point of view: “The whole world of football was clear: no one wanted to play in La Liga and I think it was the correct decision. Having said that, we simply respect what we are told to do.” Then he added in view of the Champions League match: “The feeling we have now is to talk as little as possible about footballout of respect for what happened in Valencia. We do it, even if with little desire, because it is our job. We prepared the match because we are professionals. We were all clear, no one would have wanted to play but we don’t decide. Obviously for me it is a special match against Milan, but everything takes second place. Football is a party. And you can celebrate when you are well, when your family is well, when everyone is well. When people aren’t well you can’t party. Football must stop for mebecause football is the most important thing but also the least important. But we are in it, we are not the ones in charge and we adapt. What do I feel like saying? I don’t want to talk about how it was handled, I just try to do my best to try to help.”
