Ancelotti: “We are ready to face Villarreal, We'll have to deliver our best to beat the rival”

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his players' readiness to face Villarreal, which is scheduled for Thursday in the round of 16 of the Spain King's Cup, a few days after losing the Spanish Super Cup title, to traditional rivals Barcelona 3-1.
Speaking during the press conference ahead of the game, which is scheduled for Thursday, January 19, the manager first admitted that the team is in a difficult situation after losing the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona. : Ancelotti said: "We are ready for tomorrow's match and we need to focus and play hard because the schedule is crowded and we will play many matches and we must fight until the end of the season to achieve positive results." “What was not foreseeable were the injuries that have affected us such as Tchouameni or Alaba. This has affected me because it was not foreseeable. The fact that January was complicated was foreseeable.  He continued: "We suffered injuries that affected us a little, and this was not expected, but this will not be the reason for our poor results. We know our weaknesses and problems and we are constantly working to improve them and return to the path of victory. We must give calm and confidence to the group. It is a complicated period against opponents who have good dynamism." We will never give up and we will go forward.” We have to improve, we have the desire and the motivation to leave these bad feelings soon, and we will never give up, not tomorrow, not Sunday, or the next match, we will continue to fight and we will try to improve the problems we have had recently in matches and improve our image as we used to. “Everybody thinks Real Madrid is dead but we have to be calm and confident because the season is very long. We’re never going to give up. We’re going to get out of this. When? I don’t know,” he added.
