Real Madrid: Carlo Ancelotti…
…Eighth round against FC Girona (Saturday, 6:30 p.m., on the REAL TOTAL live stream and at 10:30 p.m.) DAZN): “We are in a good mood and we will play an important match against the league leaders in the competition. We will try to do our best. We are having a good period.” (Antonio) Rüdiger recovered, and nothing serious happened. The team is a little tired, but very excited. We know it’s a very important match, and like all matches we think are important, we will perform well. We have to play a complete match, meaning the team needs balance, it needs to defend well, which is very important. When we have the ball, we have to show our quality to cause damage.
…2:4 defeat in Girona at the end of April: “When we were there last season, the league was already over for us. We had other goals. It was not a good evening, but what happened last season will definitely not happen tomorrow. Girona is playing very well, but we have a good chance to win the game.”
…the surprising fact is that a team like Girona is in first place after seven match days: “Girona performed better than others in the first few games. Better than us, better than Barcelona, better than Atletico. We have to respect that and Girona can participate. They have a big advantage not playing in Europe. You have the opportunity to prepare for the matches for a week and give the players the opportunity to renew “What affects teams in Europe the most are international matches. We have injuries, fatigue and no time to recover. Now I looked at the calendar. We have players returning on the evening of October 19 and we will play again on October 21. If the plane is delayed, you fly directly to Seville instead of coming “To Madrid first. I told them: ‘See you in Seville.’
…Vinicius Junior: “Vinicius is in good condition, and he will play from the beginning. Then we will see how many minutes he lasts. I think he can last 90 minutes. It also depends on what I ask of him. I can also play 90 minutes. If I don’t have to run, then 100.” (smiling). No, seriously: we’ll see how long it lasts. He is doing very well, making a very good impression and making a full recovery. Of course he will do his part.”
.. An alleged quarrel with Vinicius in the Las Palmas match: “I told him to be careful with himself. We didn’t want to take any risks and he ran two or three times at a very high speed. I just told him to control himself.”
…David Alaba: “He had a physical. Nothing serious, just a little discomfort. We’ll try to get him back on Tuesday.”
…Rodrigo Goes, who is still suffering this season: “Rodrigo’s problem is that he hasn’t scored the goals that everyone expects from him. But what he contributes is what’s important. He’s the only player who has played all the matches. You also have to take into account your contributions to the national team. Maybe a break can help him.”
…Possible departure from 4-1-2-1-2: “We will not change the system. As with any game, there are some details that can be adjusted to be more solid.
…Luka Modric and eleven possible players against Girona: “As always, I will not predict the lineup, so I cannot answer this question.”
…His role in the full-back position: “In this first phase of the season we have asked the full-backs to play higher than usual. Since the strikers act more centrally in the system, the full-backs have to help us offensively to give us width. Especially when you don’t have the best player in the world, Vinicius, on the wing. That’s why we asked the full-backs to press a little harder. It’s going well, we’ve created a lot of chances and scored goals from crosses. But it also depends on the game. Sometimes the full-backs stay a little more defensive.“
…corruption charges against FC Barcelona: “This issue concerns me as it concerns everyone. It is a serious case. The judicial system is working on it, and we have to let them work on it. I have been living in this world for 40 years, and when cases like this happen, it usually worries everyone. We hope that the judiciary will find a solution in currency”.

…the managing director of Atletico, who according to his statement will distort Real Madrid’s competition through media pressure: He added: “I still believe what I said after the press conference: He made a mistake in his statements. “I will continue to participate in a cause that has no meaning to me.”
