Carlo Ancelotti, Italian coach of Real Madrid, assured that the intention of Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, ??is to “deflect the shot” by describing the competition as an “adulterated League”, and reminded him of the Negreira case as “the problem of Spanish football.” “for “the last twenty years.”
“I don’t really like to get into this type of controversy and words, the truth is that this week they have talked a lot and I think the same as before, we don’t have to deflect the shot because everyone knows what has happened in the last twenty years in Spanish football,” Ancelotti responded when asked about Laporta’s words after Real Madrid-Almería.
For Ancelotti, all the statements made from Barcelona are a strategy to divert attention from the bad moment the Barça club is going through.
“Therein lies the problem of Spanish football, not of a League that is not adulterated. Spanish football has had a problem and the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and the Civil Guard are carrying out investigations, we have to give them time and wait. But the problem of Spanish football “That’s been the case for the last twenty years. Deflecting the shot doesn’t make sense,” the Madrid coach insisted.
Ancelotti was more restrained when he was questioned about Xavi Hernández’s complaints, when he spoke about the difficulty of winning a League due to referee decisions. “I don’t want to explain what my personal feelings and thoughts have been about this,” he concluded seriously.
