Ancelotti considers that Kroos, Modric and Casemiro form the best trident of midfielders in the world

Carlo Ancelotti , Italian coach of Real Madrid , did not hesitate to rate Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro as “the best average in the world today” and although he did not want to promise titles because “it is not the best idea”, he did guarantee “compete until the end”.

“Modric, Kroos and Casemiro are the best average in the world today. Perhaps the midfielders who go from area to area are more classic, but they have so much experience and so much football that they are extraordinary. In addition, they turn out to mix very well. When the three of them are together, no one can compare themselves to them “, said Ancelotti in an interview with the newspaper As.

This squad once again demonstrated their quality and commitment against a difficult team in a fantastic stadium. I couldn’t be more proud of them.

There was also praise for the scorer Karim Benzema.

“Karim now adds great ability and scoring consistency to his football. He has as much as Cristiano Ronaldo or Haaland . Benzema is a player who makes a difference. We just saw him again in the match against Athletic, with two goals in a very short time. It’s in a spectacular way ”, he pointed out.

The The fan already thinks about the titles, but the coach prefers to be more cautious.

“Promising titles is not the best idea, but we can promise what Real Madrid always offers, which is to compete until the end. We are doing it, we are competing very well in all competitions, in every game. In the first part of the season we have failed very little. We have only had two defeats, against Espanyol in the League and against the Sheriff, in the Champions League. But it was a stage in which we lacked players like Modric or Kroos. But when they both returned it was already seen that the team has a very clear identity “, he pointed out.

Ancelotti does not get medals, although his hand is showing this season.

“I bring my experience of so many years in football and also knowing how to give the players confidence. Madrid have a talent and quality squad and the coach must give them confidence. But Madrid already had a block, a team “, he observed.

” The team already had a form last year. It was a season in which he competed to the end. The titles did not arrive, but he competed and was very close to winning at a stage in which the pandemic did not make things easy for anyone, “he added.

Young people are also showing that the future is assured.

“Young people, like Camavinga, Valverde and others, they have to know what they have in front of them, which are the ones we have mentioned before: Modric, Kroos and Casemiro. They are competing with the best in the world and they must evaluate and understand that in the future they will be the ones who play there ”, he pointed out.

“Camavinga has immense quality and power, but he must learn and gain experience and knowledge for the position in which he plays. He doesn’t have it yet, but he’s only 19 years old! Every day that he trains alongside Modric, Kroos or Casemiro is a master’s degree for Camavinga. I’m sure he learns more from what he sees his teammates do in training than from what I tell him! “Added Ancelotti.

Vinicius is another of the proper names of this Real Madrid .

“Vinicius has improved because he does things with less rush than before. It has changed, above all, in that he takes a break in the important moments of each play. The important thing in a player is that he does the difficult things well, because the easy things end up coming out. Vini knew how to do the difficult and failed at the easy. Now he takes more time with the easier plays and it is going well for him. But the important thing is that the complicated thing always tried and it always worked out, because this works or it does not work out ”, he affirmed.

“Vinicius has fantastic speed and talent. I had never seen a player with his ability to overflow, to go one-on-one. But he still has the capacity to improve, for example, in the game without the ball, in attacking the spaces and in the shot, where he can progress ”, he continued.

For the Italian coach, Madrid does not have half a league in his pocket.

“I don’t think so, no. We have a small advantage and it is true that some opponents, such as Atlético or Barça, are somewhat further away. But not Sevilla, for example. LaLiga is a very complicated competition because you can never say that there is an easy game. There are a lot of good teams and good football looks. All the teams have a good quality of play ”, he explained.

Ancelotti also spoke about the new stadium.

“At a time of great difficulty for society and for the economies of the clubs, due to everything that is happening with the pandemic, it is impressive that Madrid is fully engaged to make a great stadium, which will be for sure the best stadium in the world, and also a team for the future that competes at all levels, “he said.

“What I want is to be there, on the bench, the day the new stadium opens!”, Concluded Carlo Ancelotti.
