Italian Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, confirmed that the Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be absent from tomorrow’s match against Elche, in the tenth round of the Spanish League.
“Courtois will naturally take part in training, but it won’t play in the game tomorrow. It will be prepared for the team’s next Saturday match against Seville.
”
“We had to prepare a little more for this match than that,” he continued, “especially mentally. It comes naturally to have a high level of attention in matches under pressure.
He clarified: “The team’s primary responsibility belongs to Benzema. He is a leader than he was eight years ago and Benzema is now the same as before in terms of quality, what has changed is his responsibility towards the team and his behavior. ”
He went on: “We both sense each other and are really happy.
The achievement makes Benzema very proud, and he praised all of his teammates. The player who was the greatest last season received an individual award, but the team was also recognised, and we now need to start planning for the next golden ball.
And he said, “Vinicius got the eighth spot in the Golden Ball classification?
Ancelotti said: “Courtois ranked seventh in the Golden Ball classification.
Seventh position is good since the goalkeepers must deal with these issues because the striker who scored the goal is preferred.
During the Golden Ball Awards ceremony, “The Balloon,” Ancelotti made a comment regarding Real Madrid’s ranking as the third-best club in the world. He said: “Real Madrid is the third best club in the world? Real Madrid, who won the Champions League, was the best team according to my limited knowledge of the standards. It seems to me about this lack of respect for Manchester City, who reached the semi -finals and won the Premier League title.
” He concluded: “The fact of working in this club makes you expect everything to happen and this is not surprising, and here we have all that is required to achieve success, history, traditions, competition and quality of players and atmosphere. I was more sceptical of that at the beginning of last season than I am right now.
Ancelotti: Benzema’s teammates helped him win the Golden Ball.
