Real Madrid: Ancelotti: “I spoke with Casemiro and his desire to leave is clear”

TheEyes are directed to Casemiro leaving, I spoke about it especially at a press conference Carlo Ancelotti. As I commented briefly The match against Celta (Saturday, 10:00 pm).

This was Carlo Ancelotti’s press conference

Casemiro causes

These are personal issues. Casemiro understood very well what Real Madrid is. Something similar happened to me when I was coach of Milan: you are in very good shape, but there will come a time when you want to try something new. And I felt so good in a club that was like family. It’s a personal thing and I totally understand it.

Virtues of Chumni

He’s strong in the air, he has a good foot, he’s strong, he gets into the opponent’s area… I obviously wouldn’t tell him to play like Casemiro. We have to try to take advantage of his shot.

Kroos for Casemiro

Kroos didn’t tell me he didn’t like to play with Casemiro, he just told me someone else. If you tell me, it’s the same thing.

If the mold is still better

If Casemiro leaves, we have six midfielders. With Casemiro we had seven. I think six is ​​enough to handle the entire season. These six are very good

Feeling in the locker room

Players understand it. Every Real Madrid has a lot of respect for him. When Casemiro asks to try a new challenge, we have to understand it, and we have to accept it with the utmost respect and affection. On a personal level, when you spend a lot of time with such a friendly and professional person, you are not happy, but respect prevails.

What does Real Madrid lose without Casemiro?

He combined very well with the higher quality midfield pairs. His association with Modric and Kroos was very important to the success of this period for Real Madrid.

When did you learn of Casemiro’s departure?

I hear and read rumors sometimes, but sometimes you don’t pay attention to what’s going on. Yesterday I realized it could happen. Real Madrid’s plans do not change: fight and compete in all competitions. I’m sure we’ll do well with Casemiro and without him, everyone understands the importance of this player and the love we have for him.

An alternative to Casemiro

The natural thing is that if negotiations continue, he will not travel to Vigo. We have spare parts on the model. Chom me is the best way. There is a Toni Kroos option, as in my sophomore year here. We have Camavinga, who played last year. We cannot replace a player with the characteristics of Casemiro, but we have others; It can not only play with the characteristics of Casemiro. For example, Pirlo played in my team. It is similar to Chuamni Cross because it has more defensive properties.

If you try to convince Casemiro

I didn’t try to convince him. I talked to him a lot, and I am very confident in him, he helped us a lot. Listening to his will and desire there is no way back. You have to think about this. I don’t know what will happen in the next few hours, if he stays or not. If he doesn’t stay, my thanks are great because he did and does it so well.

Meeting with Casemiro

I spoke to him this morning. You want to experience a new challenge, a new opportunity. The club understands him for what he has done and for the person he is. There are negotiations, nothing official, but his desire to leave is clear. If there is an agreement, we have the resources to replace it

Feelings after the first day

We have prepared well for tomorrow’s match. It’s different from Almera, Celta has more resources and it’s hard to play there. Last year was a key factor in winning the league. It’s coming soon, but it’s going to be an important match. We hope to continue with the good dynamics we have.

12:15. The team trains… with Casemiro

Real Madrid train with Celta in mind. Casemiro is in the session, although his participation in Vigo is excluded; Not seen with the group Rodrigo, Odriozola and Kroos, down.
