Ancelotti calls for a ban on violent fans and does not guarantee Mbappé against Lille

Carlo Ancelotti did not want to say more about the acts of vandalism carried out by Atlético de Madrid fans in the classic with Real, on Sunday. Many objects were thrown onto the field and the game was stopped for 20 minutes. But the The matter came up before the game against Lille in the Champions Leagueand the coach was tough, calling for the banning of violent fans from football, not just from the rival, but from all teams on the planet, including Merengues.

“Madrid Derby? This matter is quite clear, in the game, there were violent acts and that should not happen on a football field or in society. Everyone saw what happened. That’s all I want to say,” said the coach , wanting to put an end to the matter. But he was still asked what punishment he thinks is correct and showed firmness.

“What we saw is not part of football. Violent fans of any team, football doesn’t need them. It’s better for them to go somewhere else that isn’t dangerous and leave us alone. This applies to fans of any team, even Real Madrid,” he said, asking that troublemakers be banned from the stands. “I don’t have to say anything about Courtois’ behavior (he indicated that he has two Champions Leagues against zero from his rivals ), as they asked for his death. It would be a missed shot (complaint).”

After starting the Champions League with a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in Spain, the Real Madrid visits Lille this Wednesday (2), at 4pm, and the main question is about Mbappé’s presence. The French star is linked, but Ancelotti remains cautious about his use.

“Mbappé had a muscular overload. In less than a week, he recovered well. If there is no risk, Mbappé will start tomorrow”, revealed the coach, awaiting a definitive opinion from the doctors. “Yesterday (Monday) he trained individually. Today with the group and we’ll see if he’s ready. Let’s not take any risks.”

THE coach preached respect to the Frenchbut he did not hide that the goal is a new victory. Real Madrid are working with the chance of being one of the eight who qualify directly for the round of 16 and will not spare themselves, despite the insane sequence of games. “In this new format you have to score points and we are here to score them, taking into account the value of our rival, who plays very well and has quality young players. In every match we have to fight, fight, compete and we are convinced of that we can raise our level.”

After stating that the authorities will only reduce the number of games “when someone dies on the field”Ancelotti saw midfielder Tchouaméni endorse his words and demand respect from the athletes.
“The truth is we play too many games. Those in power need to come up with a solution that works for everyone. We are seeing more and more injuries. I know people want to watch football, but you can’t watch football with injured players.”
