Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t have a head for football. Present at a press conference on the eve of the Champions League match against AC Milan, the Italian technician wanted to send a message to the victims of the floods currently hitting Spain. “It has been a tragic week and we are saddened. We are very close to Valencia and all the affected cities. We are close to them and I hope this can be resolved soon. I want you to understand that talking about football is complicated. Play football too. We are part of this country. And this affects us a lot. Out of respect for everyone, I will try to make a press conference as simple as possible, because I have no desire to talk about football.explained the Casa Blanca coach to the press.
Asked subsequently about the continuation of La Liga matches this weekend, the former PSG coach responded bluntly. “Everyone was clear. Nobody wanted to play. It seemed like the right decision. But we are not the ones in charge. It’s those at the top who make this decision.”subsequently affirmed Carletto. A statement which very closely resembles that of Diego Simeone, his counterpart at Atlético de Madrid. Comments also corroborated by Lucas Vazquez:“It (Liga day) should not have been played. It was time to be with those affected and to think only of that”. In Spain, football stakeholders are unanimous, the matches should have stopped.
