Real Madrid Quotes
Carlo Ancelotti spoke ahead of the game: "I have spoken to him because he is having to put up with more than usual. When Luka renewed he was delighted, then he has changed his role, but when these games come back he will have a leading role. I have given more prominence to the young players. The squad has a lot of competition. I know what he can contribute and he's going to do it this year even if it's with less minutes."
"I think Bellingham is evaluated on what he does on the field and he's doing well. He may not have been well known, but now he's playing in a big league and a big club and he's doing very well. I'm not surprised. He's very focused and he's not someone who can lose his head. We noticed in the games he played with Dortmund that he has the ability to be dangerous and he is good in that position. He has an important physique. I don't know how many goals he can score. The key is personality rather than quality so that this shirt doesn't weigh you down."
"The internationals have returned well, with more desire, more enthusiasm. They have scored goals and played good games. They are ready to play. They have returned well and are in optimal conditions to play."
"He is recovering well. I don't know the precise day of his return and we don't want to force. He is increasing the workload. Next week he will do some of the work with the group. He's going to be before the six weeks."
"Raúl is with us every day. It's normal to have communication with him because we need youth players."
"I refer to the club's statement and I have nothing more to add."
"Ceballos will be in the call-up, but Mendy will not because he has to follow his plan".
"At 18 o'clock I will be glued to the TV and with the Milan shirt on" (Milan and Inter face each other).
