Ancelotti, about Madrid not being favorites in the Champions League: "It's a good sign..."

The Real Madrid begins this Tuesday (21:00 hours, CEST) his way in the UEFA Champions League 2022-2023. They have remained placed in one of the groups more 'simple', beside the Celtic of Glasgow, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donest. In room of press, Carlo Ancelotti spoke in the previous of the crash of his team in Scotland, 'wetting' with the novelties of the madridistas.

The trainer of Reggiolo began saying that "the party goes to be complicated, they like us are in good dynamic, play with a lot of intensity. We are ready, know them. Smart to start with well the group". Likewise, it has recognised that to the Real Madrid respects him more in Champions by his path, but that is not 'safe' of at all.

"Until the World-wide do not go to have problems, the players is ready and also wishing play the World-wide with his selections"

"In this competition always go to be respected, because the history speak by this club. We begin it with a lot of illusion, but can not think much more advance of the group. And afterwards see which raisin after the World-wide", aimed, deepening in that "until the World-wide do not go to have problems, the players is ready and also wishing play the World-wide with his selections. But the doubt is how will go back the players after the World-wide. To day of today can not it know".

Likewise, to Ancelotti asked after him which was his feeling with the fact that the prognoses did not give to the Real Madrid as one of the big favourites to win the Champions League, as it already had happened the past year: "it does not surprise me, I see it like a good signal. The past year had still less options in the statistics, this year have a bit more. Like the past year, go to compete to the end. And I expect that it was also in the final".

Beginning 'easy' for the Real Madrid

Asked after if have the easiest group, the Italian signalled that "it is not an easy group, know well to all the teams. The Celtic Is doing it well and have to respect it, as to the others two teams, the Leipzig and the Shakhtar. Have the memory of the year happened in front of the Sheriff, and know in this first phase there are a lot of surprises. I think that it goes to be a group balanced".

It knows, in any case and by own experience, that the visit to Glasgow will not be simple: "With the Milan ugamos with the Celtic in the group and afterwards in eighth, lost here and afterwards win in Milan in the extention. A glorious stadium and a big environment. As it loves me this sport, loves me that my team play in these atmospheres".

The 'madness' of Modric

Finally, to the exentrenador of the Everton asked after him Luka Modric, the one who will fulfil 37 years in brief and keeps to the maximum level: "there is not explanation. It is a fantastic player, with a big attitude, a big quality, and that grieve has had injuries. All this does that to the almost 37 was still one of the best means that there is in Europe. If it goes to celebrate the 37 with a big party, I would have to be invited".
