Real Madrid continues its preparations for the return from the break when it meets tomorrow (Friday, 10:30 p.m.) Valladolid and Sean Weissman in the 15th round of the Spanish League. Before the game, Carlo Ancelotti spoke at a press conference and answered a number of issues, while at the same time the team’s squad was announced, including Karim Benzema, who is returning from injury. The game, like all the Spanish league games, will be broadcast on ONE channel for HOT subscribers, yes subscribers, Cellcom TV and Partner TV.
Ancelotti He opened his words about the returning striker: “He came back in pretty good shape. He worked with the team and played half an hour or 45 minutes in the friendly matches. I think he will show all his qualities. He came back highly motivated.”
On the subject of Eden Hazard’s fitness, he said: “I see Hazard, he trained well. I see him better than how he was before the World Cup. He did a good job and I’m going to use the whole team.”
When asked if Messi is the greatest in history, the coach replied: “It’s hard to say, I don’t know if he’s the best in history.” It’s not fair to say that, because in every era there are very good players. ‘Messi is the greatest in history’ will not come out of my mouth. I have enjoyed so many players, I coach the Ballon d’Or winner every day. I even saw Cruyff and Maradona.”
Regarding the question of whether the tiki-taka is dead, he added: “No. Touching the ball is very important in football, but it is also important to do other things to win games. Sometimes you can’t win just with possession of the ball and you have to do other things as well.”
