A Carlo Ancelotti land they like the ‘classics’. Despite having experienced them on countless occasions, the Italian loves the prominence that is concentrated on his figure during the week prior to the maximum rivalry duel against the Barcelona. That is why he is not afraid to show his cards, as happened in the appearance prior to the Montjuïc duel (Saturday, 4:15 p.m.).
The Italian confirmed that Bellingham will playwhat Mendy starts with an advantage over Camavinga for having rested in the Champions League and that the decision of Florentino Pérez not going to Barcelona It is for the good of the club, in addition to praising Gil Manzano, the referee. “He is one of the best, he gives the profile,” said the Italian.
Bellingham needs no explanations
Bellingham is undoubtedly the great name of the first confrontation of the season between the archenemies. Because of the novelty, the impact and the development it has had in just a few months. Nobody talks about Vinicius anymore, except if controversy surrounds him again. All the comments go through the English star, whom his compatriots will not be able to see due to a law that prohibits in the United Kingdom football is televised early in the afternoon on Saturdays. The reason, to encourage attendance at stadiums.
But the rest of the world will be watching Bellingham, who despite the discomfort that forced him to retire in Braga, will start at the Lluís Companys. “He has recovered, he is fine. They have taken away the burden that he had. He doesn’t need anyone to explain to him what a ‘classic’ is. He is a professional,” revealed the Italian coach, who also advanced that “Mendy starts with an advantage over Camavinga on the left sidebecause he has rested.”
“Florentino always does the best for the club”
The one who will not be in the box of the temporary fief of the Barcelona es Florentino Perez. There has been no official communication, but Ancelotti He gave it indirectly and acted as club spokesperson. Although the relations between both clubs are not bad, as reflected in the hug that Laporta, Barça president, and José Ángel Sánchez, white general director, gave each other, in the general assembly of LaLiga. But the unfortunate comment by Miquel Camps, the culé manager, inciting hatred against Vinicius, led Florentino to cancel his trip to Catalonia.
“The decision that the president has made is good. He always does the best for the club,” concluded Carletto, who also wanted to rebel against the discourse that Barcelona is a youth team and a mine of talents like Lamine Yamal, Fermín López or Marc Guiu. “We also have young players, sometimes we forget that players like Bellingham or Vinicius are. In addition, we have a series of players from the reserve team who are in a position to enter the first team. Álvaro Rodríguez already did it in the past. But there are also Nico Paz, Mario Martín or Gonzalo,” he defended.
“Gil Manzano is one of the best referees”

The ownership of Kroos and Modric continues to be debateddespite the rejuvenation of the midfield. Because seating two effigies of that size is never easy. However, Ancelotti concluded that “they are all professionals” and that, therefore, “I do not give explanations.”
Although according to the statements in the last international window, Carletto has to refine his decisions more than ever so that the locker room does not become a battle for roles. But finally football and not its judges were the protagonists in Ancelotti’s press conference. At least, in the previous one. “Gil Manzano is one of the best-rated referees in Europe. I know him very well. It’s a profile that fits.” It remains to be seen if he continues to maintain the same criteria after the outcome of the first ‘classic’ of the season.
