Ancelotti Confirms that Florentino wanted to impose him to Bleat

The rumours spoke that Florentino Pérez always has been "present" in the sportive direction of the Real Madrid and of the alignments of the team, but anybody had said it so clear like the ex trainer of the group merengue Carlo Ancelotti. As the Italian confessed in some statements in the book "Quiet Leadreship", taken out now by the magazine "Four Four Two", that the white mandator has a lot of influence inside the square.

"A morning of March called me the general director of the Real Madrid (José Ángel Sánchez) saying me that the president (Florentino Pérez) wanted to speak with me when it finish the training this day. It was odd", remembered "Carletto" to add that "when I saw me with the president, said me that the agent of Bleat (Jonathan Barnett) had gone to his dispatch to speak of the situation of Bleat. In June, the agent of Bleat had been saying things and perhaps felt that his position was strong because it already had spoken with the president (Florentino Pérez). Then it said him to this that Bleat was not happy with his position. It wanted to play more centred".

The answer of Ancelotti in front of the situation was cutting, would not do absolutely at all. "The president asked me what went to do and said him: At all. It was impossible to change his position in this moment of the season, because it would have to have changed all the system and to a lot of players. Also I said him to the president that was surprised that the player did not speak directly with me. It would be the normal", affirmed.

Although to the technician loved him Bleat and his qualities, could not change all the diagram of a team by the whim of a player, or rather of his agent. "It bleat had fantastic qualities, of world-wide class, and all what I was trying to do was to help him to understand his main virtues so that it could explode his potential and I was more qualified that his agent or the president to help him with this", so at the end of the meeting, Carlo explains that "I said him to the president that would speak with Bleat the next day and like this did it after the training.

I said him: I Know that your representative spoke with the president. Why you did not come to speak with me of what wanted to? He said: Yes, voucher, without problem. I explained him that it had said to the president the impossible that was to change the system because it did not affect only to a position but to all the team. I was clear with him. I said him that we could test some things to change his position in summer, in the following pre-season, but no then".

Reprendido By Florentino after changing to Bleat

The own Ancelotti remembered another day in which Florentino him reprendió for changing to the player during a party. "Remove to Bleat is to attack me to me. It is a strategic player for us", said him after his replacement in Mestalla the past 4 January 2015. These brave statements by part of the trainer transalpino contrast with the said by the assistant of Rafa Benítez, Fabio Pecchia, does some months:

"We did not have time to range the team that had in the head, by injuries or by the big quantity of commitments. Florentino? It is a very present president...", it left to fall Pecchia in an interview conceded for "The Gazzetta dello Sport".
