Ancelotti's message about Dani Olmo and his registration with Barça: 'I don't want...'

Carlo Ancelotti was asked about what happened with the Barça player in the last press conference

Real Madrid started 2025 on the right foot after defeating Valencia at Mestalla and scoring in the first round of the Cup. First in LaLiga until Atlético plays their match, Carlo Ancelotti's team is excited about having a good year where they achieve several titles. So far, the Merengues have accumulated the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental.

RCD Mallorca will be Real Madrid's first opponent in the Spanish Super Cup. The Whites, who will try to reach the final, could face either Athletic Club or FC Barcelona in the last match. However, the ideal is to go game by game, as the Vermilions will not make things easy.

A day before the match, Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the media to answer several questions about the encounter.

Carlo Ancelotti's words on the Dani Olmo Case

"I'll answer what the match will be like. It will be entertaining, I'll watch it with pleasure because I'm a football lover. I won't comment on everything surrounding it because those are topics I don't want to talk about", the Italian commented.

Carlo Ancelotti will watch tonight's match between Barça and Athletic Club, but he has avoided getting into controversies at all times.

The rest of Carlo Ancelotti's statements

Among many other things, Carletto was largely asked about Vinícius after what happened at Mestalla and the suspension matches. "I still think it's unfair. The two-match suspension is not correct", he stated.

Additionally, the coach spoke about the new format of the Super Cup that leaves behind extra time. "I don't think it changes much, but it avoids us an extra time. Alaba? He's doing very well, we're close to seeing him, but we don't want to bring forward his return by a week or ten more days", explained Carlo Ancelotti.

"It's a title, and when it's at stake, this team maintains focus and concentration. We've managed this period very well because we've had a week of rest. We want to start 2025 well", commented Carlo Ancelotti when asked about the team's morale.

Finally, the coach emphasized that the players are arriving in great shape for the Spanish Super Cup."The team is better, yes, but every match has its problems, its difficulties. I'm calm because the squad prepares very well for this type of match", he concluded.
