Ancelotti: The Madrid Fans, Used to the Rock & Roll of Football
Carlo Ancelotti, the renowned coach of Real Madrid, has shared reflections on the special relationship that unites the club with its passionate fans. In a recent meeting with the media, Ancelotti highlighted the ability of the Merengue supporters to face both victories and defeats, describing them as true warriors of football.
The Italian coach acknowledged that they can improve on their performance at the start of the season, but that their fans are "delighted" and "used to rock and roll," suggesting that they are accustomed to the excitement and adrenaline that each match brings. This analogy highlights not only the passion for the game but also the resilience that characterizes Madrid's fans, who are always ready to cheer for the team regardless of the circumstances.
"I am not bothered by what is said, because I see my fans delighted with what we are doing. We can improve and play better, but I believe that Real Madrid's fans are used to seeing rock and roll football, not a lot of touches," he assured in a press conference.
Ancelotti emphasized that this bond is essential for the team's performance on the field. The emotional connection between the players and the fans can influence performance, especially in critical moments. The coach also acknowledged that, although results may vary, the unconditional support from the fans never wavers, creating a unique atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
"For me, beautiful football depends a lot on the characteristics of the players I have. It’s about defending and attacking well, managing the ball properly, playing on the counter... there are many facets, not just one. Everyone has their opinion. I really like to see my team defend well, to come out from the back with the ball, not to waste time in possession, to be vertical," he explained.
As the season progresses, the coach hopes that this spirit of community continues to strengthen. The history of Real Madrid is full of ups and downs, and Ancelotti trusts that, with the backing of their loyal supporters, the team will overcome any obstacles. With a mix of excitement and determination, the coach looks to the future, knowing that with the fans by their side, Real Madrid will always be a contender in the fight for glory.
