Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s Italian coach, assured that “nothing strange” has happened with the Belgian Eden Hazard, who ran out of minutes in the Spanish Super Cup being in good physical condition to play, and assured that it is “competition” and decisions that he makes “being fair”, choosing “the best”.
“At the moment he is still a Real Madrid player, he is training focused on the competitions we have and we have nothing else to think about “, Ancelotti said ruling out an imminent departure of Hazard from Real Madrid.
“Nothing has happened, it is competition in the team and each game I choose the best. That affects the competition, many players. I have to be honest, nothing particular has happened, the player is training waiting for the call from his coach and When he arrives, he’s ready”, he added.
Hazard’s situation, to which Ancelotti added Bale’s, was the main topic of his appearance. The Madrid coach made it clear that his decisions are sporting and praised the atmosphere in the locker room despite the fact that some soccer players participate little due to the lack of rotations.
“It is simple, there is nothing strange that has happened between us, there is simply competition and the coach, which is me, chooses each game the best being fair or not , to win the matches. Nothing has happened that doesn’t happen at the big clubs where there is a lot of competition and, sometimes, being very good you won’t play. They talk about Bale or Hazard but I can talk about Marcelo, Nacho, Ceballos, Isco or Jovic who have a lot of quality and go through the same thing”, he explained.
Furthermore, pointed to Hazard and Bale’s injuries as a factor decisive for their decisions, hoping that they can contribute more in the remainder of the season. ‘Carletto’ ruled out that Eden was asked by his team to undergo surgery to be in better condition for the World Cup.
“ I don’t have to give Hazard advice, he has character and experience to choose the best for him. We haven’t talked about the plate issue, I think it’s a forgotten issue. It is not an issue that I have discussed with the doctor because he would have told me,” he said.
