D -day! This Sunday, the shock between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will not be a clasico like the others. The Blaugranas can win the title of Spanish champion in front of their audience after a season marked by the failure in the semi-final of the Champions League against Inter. For its part, Real plays to save the honor in a season marked by instability … and the announced departure of Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian coach held a highly anticipated press conference before this decisive meeting. For once, he has not fled the questions about his future, delivering an emotional message for the Merengue club. “The honeymoon is not over, it will continue forever. There is nothing more to add. Madrid and Milan will stay in the heart, more than others. I feel good here. As in all relationships, at first there is a lot of passion and then there are other things. The honeymoon with Madrid will last until the last day of my life ”he launches in front of the journalists.
Asked about what could be his last clasico, Ancelotti responded with a bit of irony: “It will be the last, yes … because Barça is not in the club World Cup. »» Before continuing on the importance of the moment:
“It is not difficult to prepare for these matches … We are well and with great confidence. Madrid is a special club that deserves a special attitude from all those who work here. I tried to do it every day. »»
“He is one of the best”
And if the time for departure is approaching, Ancelotti did not fail to slip a word on the one who could well succeed him. While Xabi Alonso formalized his departure from Leverkusen at the end of the season, the Italian validated his candidacy without detour: “I read that he announced that he was leaving Bayer Leverkusen. He has done a fantastic job and has all the doors open because he is one of the best coaches in the world. »»
A strong message, like a handle of witness in good and due form, while the future of Ancelotti now seems to be turned towards the Brazilian Seleção. In the meantime, Real may be playing its last Clasico this Sunday under the orders of the Mister.
