REAL MADRID HEAD COACH CARLO ANCELOTTI
(On the young players and where do they get their courage and desire) – “The players, especially the young players, are very important. We have a lot of quality. We have lots of games this year. I’m not sure how many games they will play, but in the end they are definitely very strong players.”
(On his thoughts on the tournament and how useful it was for his squad) – “It was good because we played a good game, an important game, in a good atmosphere. We found good beaches, good training ground. We didn’t have a problem, so you can say this tournament was good because we had the possibility to play and improve against strong teams and improve our condition.”
(On if goalkeeper Iker Casillas starting tonight is a permanent move) – “Iker played well this game, but the next game I was going to play Diego Lopez because at this moment I didn’t choose the goalkeeper. The most important thing (is) we have two fantastic goalkeepers. Tonight Iker played very well. Diego started the second half and made a great save. It will not be an easy decision we are going to take.”
(On if a Tottenham board member’s comments on Twitter about Gareth Bale improves the situation in Real Madrid’s bid for the player)—“For me to speak about Bale would not be easy. I said yesterday I was a little disappointed of the manager of Bale at this moment. I would like to (not) speak about this story. This is my decision. ”
(On how has the team developed and evolved tactically since he took reign of the team) — “We are trying to play soccer. I think in the first half tonight I think we played quite well. We had good control of the ball, a lot of possession. The idea and goal of what Real Madrid should do is play positive soccer, and that is what we are trying to do.”
