An Shuai: Barcelona deserves to win the La Liga Championship This season our problem is defense injury

May 17th at 1:00 am on May 19, in the 37th round of the 2024-25 La Liga, Real Madrid will play away against Sevilla. Before the game, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About Sevilla

- We always have difficulties at Pisjuan Stadium, and our goal is to end the season with a good result. We did a good job against Mallorca, and we also need to perform well tomorrow.

Is this ending strange?

- I want to enjoy the game in different ways and fight for La Liga until the last day. While this didn't happen, I enjoyed it and I'll enjoy it until the last day. Then, I will prepare for the next challenge.

About working with David, has he improved?

—David is an important member of my coaching team, and this is also because we have a father-son relationship. Obviously, I trust him very much, and I trust my entire coaching team very much, but he will tell me something others dare not say sometimes. I believe my coaching team is well prepared and my coaching team is very young, which has also brought me a lot of passion.

You also mentioned Francesco de Simeone, and our club also has a very outstanding team of analysts. I really like my coaching staff because we worked together for a long time and we were like a big family. In such an environment, everyone can be in the best condition. Is it a fair result to win the championship in Barcelona?

—Football is like this, sometimes you can’t get everyone to the best. Barcelona performed very well and they deserved to be congratulated because they performed more stably in La Liga and played very beautiful football. They deserve to win this season’s La Liga title, and next year will be a different story.

About signing Wyson

- He is a very outstanding young player with great potential. This signing is great and I'm very excited about all the players Real Madrid signed because Real Madrid always desires to stay in their best shape. Last year, we didn’t consider this position because we had Alaba back and we had Militon and Kavajal, but the injury hit us a lot.

Have you ever thought about everything that happened this season? Apart from injuries, are there any other reasons?

- Make an assessment now...I could have had more to say about us. But now, it is impossible to evaluate players like Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrigo, Courtois, and I will never criticize these players who have brought me so much happiness in recent years.

Comments on other coaches

-Great, obviously, I have received a lot of love from my peers over the years. They appreciate my work and personality, which is great and I will enjoy these days.

Did Real Madrid listen to your opinions on signings? Should the club listen to the head coach more?

- They listened to my opinion, since I came here, the club signed Kamavenga, Rudiger, Joan Ammeni, Bellingham and Mbappe...

About Mbappe's competition for the Golden Boot Awards - He will score more than 40 goals, and I think he can perform better, but his first season at Real Madrid has been very good.

If the club makes remedies during the winter window, can it reverse the decline of this season?

- We have already talked about it, all the decisions made by the club have been discussed and there is nothing to add. We had the same problem last year and we could solve it, but this year it was a bit more complicated. Is one of the keys to competing for the La Liga championship a firm belief?

—I don’t think so, creating this belief itself is not a problem. In the past, this team was able to maintain their beliefs while others were not optimistic about it, and the reversals we achieved came from. This is an obvious problem, as I said, the key to this season is that we have too many injuries on the back line, and we are all very important players. Militon, Alaba, Rudiger, Carvajal and Mendy were all absent in the match against Barcelona, ​​and this is the problem.
