Ancelotti: “We have to make the most of the three remaining games to qualify”

2 day(s)

Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the press gathered at the Gewiss Stadium to assess the Champions League matchday six encounter between  Atalanta and Real Madrid (Tuesday, 9:00pm CET): “It's a tough match against a team who are playing really well. They have improved since the European Super Cup. They are in great form, have real enthusiasm and have won a lot of games. We have to make the most of the three remaining games to qualify."
“It's important to have Vinicius back in training so he can start getting back up to speed, the same goes for Rodrygo. Bellingham is fine, 100%. The only doubts we have are Vinicius and Rodrygo. We'll decide on them after the training session."
Bellingham's form
“The team's form has altered. We're playing better up top and showing greater fluidity. He's back scoring again and that's important, but his attitude on the pitch remains the same. Bellingham gives us an awful lot both going forward and defensively as well."
Gasperini
“We're good friends. When I was at Juventus, he was with the academy. He's doing a fantastic job. He changes the squad every year but he's still able to adapt, delivering an intense, beautiful playing style. He's really done a spectacular job here."
Playing time
“You're able to rotate more when you have a squad with fewer injuries. Several players will have played more minutes than you would expect. Valverde is a special case because he's played at full-back, in the middle and as a winger too. We've won two Champions Leagues with Valverde playing as a winger and he's a crucial player for this team."
Young lads
Endrick and Güler will be staying here. I don't know if they'll get more game time, perhaps that's what they need. I have no prejudices around anyone and I try and field the best team regardless of age. Sometimes I feel as though the team looks better with Endrick in it, and others I think the same about Güler. The young boys bring added enthusiasm but they have to learn over time as well. Over the course of my career I've played with guys who were 17 or 18 years old, I picked them because I knew they were going to win games."
Atalanta's stadium
“It's a beautiful ground, it's unbelievable. They compete in Serie A, they've done an exceptional job as a club. There are new players here every year and even so, the team remains playing at the top level. That speaks volumes about the structure at the club."
