Ancelotti says Real Madrid won’t concentrate only on Haaland

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League semi-final against Manchester City. He assured that his team won’t concentrate on stopping just the Citizens’ star Erling Haaland.

“We want a positive result tomorrow. We don’t want to suffer, we want to play well. The goal is to avoid problems. This will be a difficult match,” the Italian began. Ancelotti gave credit to the opponent: “This is a more complete team than last year. Gabriel Jesus was very dangerous, but different from Haaland. Maybe now they benefit more from the long balls, from the fight for the second ball. But their style is the same.”

Haaland is very dangerous, we see that. He is dangerous, but he’s not the only one. This is a complete team that plays very good football. We are working to stop a team that looks unstoppable. We don’t plan the game to stop one player. We game plan to stop their team, especially when they have the ball. This player is very important, but thinking only about him would mean forgetting about the others,” the specialist also commented.
