Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday (28) that he has a contract with the Merengue club and did not receive any connection from the CBF to discuss the post of coach of the Brazilian team. The name of the Italian was mentioned again after the 4-1 defeat by Brazil for Argentina.
“The contract of course. I have nothing to add to this. I have affection for Brazil, its players and fans, but I have a contract here with Real Madrid,” said the Italian coach before answering a “simply not” to the question if he had received any connection from the Brazilian Confederation.
Since the defeat to Argentina, coach Dorival Junior swings in office, and his resignation is already speculated.
At the press conference before the match against Leganés, on Saturday (29), Ancelotti emphasized that Barcelona, who leads the classification with three points advantage over the merengue team with ten games, has not yet won Laliga.
“Barcelona has advantage, but we have the classic and there are still many games. We have to do as much as possible, starting with tomorrow [sábado]. I hope it remains 17 games, because it means we will fight in all competitions until the end, “he said.
He also referred to the investigation that UEFA opened by the alleged “indecent conduct” of Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, Brazilian Vinicius Junior, German Antonio Rudiger and Dani Ceballos after a duel with Atletico Madrid for the round of 16 of Champions League at the Metropolitan Stadium.
“We trust UEFA. We believe everything was correct. We hope that UEFA tells us something, but we have confidence that everything will work out,” said Ancelotti.
The coach was quiet after being released on Friday that he will be tried on Wednesday and Thursday in the Spanish capital for allegedly evaded over one million euros in 2014 and 2015.
“There are many topics of debate on the table. I have to go to testify and I will do so on Wednesday. Next week is an appeal that the prosecutor made. I won the first trial and fully trust the law and justice,” he said.
“I’m not worried. It bothers me that they say I have fraud, but I will testify with confidence,” he added.
