Carlo Ancelotti does not interpret Real Madrid’s victory in the Classic Cup at Camp Nou, the second largest in Barcelona’s history, as a justification and assured that after “1,272 games” he does not “have to prove anything to anyone “.
“I happened to look at the number of games for Barcelona the other day. I didn’t know what the number was, but I thought it was almost 1,300 and when it arrives I’ll have to celebrate a bit,” he said at a press conference.
“What I think is that after 1,272 games I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Everyone knows me and can judge me, but I don’t have to prove anything to anyone,” he said.
Despite the 0-4 win at the Camp Nou, Ancelotti didn’t look particularly happy after days of learning that if he didn’t win a title considered one of the big three, he wouldn’t be left in charge of Real Madrid. The Italian coach explained the reason for his behavior after feeling so much pressure.
“I am very good, calm, excited and very motivated because the team is in good shape. My mood depends a lot on how the team is. I see it very well and on a personal level I am the same, I have no problems.” Sometimes, after the game, a “He’s so tired you just want to keep calm. In a game like Wednesday there’s a lot of pressure before and during, and when it’s over you get tired and you just want to rest,” he said . explained.
With his experience, Ancelotti admits criticism and understands that many people doubted his continuity. “I’m not surprised (the doubt). It’s our job. We’re in the spotlight, it’s very normal and I don’t have any problem with it.”
Hours after one of the most important wins of the season and with the best second half of the course, Ancelotti confessed that the day off he gave the team and that his players celebrated so much in the visiting dressing room at Camp Nou, he took advantage of it to to go “by bicycle to the country house” with his wife.
