Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal confided in the club's current situation, after a promising start to the season. The Merengues have won three victories in three games so far.
Carvajal returned to injury this summer after missing most of last season, and was holder in their second match. He said he was satisfied with their start to the season, as he told Cadena Cope.
“These first three games, these three weeks, were our pre-season. The goal was to win the three of them, and we reached it. I think we still have a great margin of progression. I think we integrate a lot of coach concepts and put them into practice. We integrate a lot of ideas that he wishes to implement, and when we win, everything seems much more beautiful. »»
“Ancelotti is a legend in Madrid”
We are nine in nine, and now that the Champions League is back, the championship matches come back in the week, a match from time to time. You have to be ready, and we have a month now, a block, as the coach calls it, between the Trier, during which we will try to take as many points as possible. »»
Carvajal explains the transition of Carlo Ancelotti to Xabi
Carvajal expressed the idea that former coach Carlo Ancelotti had arrived at the end of his career at the club.
“Ancelotti is a legend in Madrid, and he will remain so for the rest of his story, but I think we needed a change. I think the coach saw it too. In the end, we have been with him for many years. Often this change is necessary to change mentalities. People who were perhaps not so connected connect, to wake up everyone a little, and I think it was beneficial for everyone. »»
Regarding the differences between Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso, Carvajal stressed that Alonso is much more inclined to adapt his game plan to his opponents.
“In the end, each coach has their own methodology, as you say, they are different generations. It is true that, for example, with Carletto, we had much more freedom: “You came out a little later, even if he got angry with us. Xabi is a little more offensive, more disciplined, but hey, everyone has their own ideas. Football was invented many years ago, so everyone adopts the concepts they judge the best. ”
“The coach also has his ideas. I think he adapts his game a little to the opponent, to the players we have, which is a good thing. He develops match plans according to the opponent, the starting eleven he wants to use, he is looking for an alternative or another, and I think they are preparing well for the matches. »»
