Carlo Ancelotti He appeared at a press conference before the game that will measure him this Sunday at the Sanchez Pizjuan (9:00 p.m.) to Sevillaand commented on the statements of Xavi Hernandez in which he spoke of the requirement to be a coach of the Barcelona because he is required to win and play well. “About what he has said Xavi I think we both have our demands at each club. Training is not simple, it is complicated. I don’t know if it’s more complicated to train Barcelona or Real Madrid. It is a job that we like to do, ”he said at first.
What is playing well?
When insisted on whether the requirement that the Barcelonaas stated Xavi, you have to win by playing well, the Italian was more categorical: “What does it mean to play well?

I have read a lot these days about the approach of the Atlético in Manchester. For me, Atlético defended very, very well in Manchester. With the ball he could do more things, but in defense he did very well”.

But he is having a spectacular season”.
And finally he referred to the possible renewal of Modric with the whites, which has not yet been closed: “Luka he will finish his career in Real Madrid. I don’t know when, but the idea is that.
