00:00Good evening, we have a question about the press, we have a question for intervention, and you should be able to identify with your media.
00:07Hello, Carlos, Abraham Romero, the world, here.
00:13One reflection on the part, on the eliminator, and I don't know if it's about this season, if this is a big step in this season.
00:23Well, it's a decision to go out of the Champions League, it's quite normal to think about it, but this is another part of the football.
00:35There's the happy part, and we've experienced it many times, and there's the sad part, which is the of today, and we have to be able to manage it many times.
00:45We have to be happy with the football, which has been the victory and the titles, and we have to manage it well.
00:50And also the sad part, which is the elimination of the Champions League.
00:54And as we do it, there are three competitions, and we have to be focused on this, on the Liga, on the final of the Rey,
01:05and on the final of the season, on the World Cup.
01:08And we have to accept it, because in the two parties I think Arsenal has been better than us.
01:16We have tried it.
01:19In this eliminator, I think it was important to have a moment that could be the penalty that we have removed.
01:29It could be a moment that could change the dynamics of this eliminator, but to be honest, Arsenal has defended very well.
01:38We have found difficulty in looking for space.
01:43I think at the level of intensity we have done better than normal, but it has not been enough.
01:50Hello, Carlos.
01:53How are you?
01:54Ignacio García Ochoa, of the Liga Marca.
01:56What has failed today?
01:58Is it the plan today, or do you think this is a consequence of the work of the entire season, that it has not been good?
02:04Well, as I said, to do an analysis today, I think it is not correct in the sense that, as I said, we have to accept this eliminator,
02:14the balls that come, and nothing else.
02:17It is the same as the players said.
02:19We have to have the head high.
02:21This competition in the last few years we have done very well, better than others.
02:26This year we have to wait and suffer, because it has not been like in the last few years.
02:32But in the sport this sometimes can happen, because there is no invisible team.
02:39Hello, Carlos.
02:41Good afternoon.
02:42I am Anton Meana, in direct, in the Alguero of the Cadena SER.
02:44He is a pleasure, in the middle of the ruine, a speech deportivo and futbolero like his own,
02:48that sometimes he cannot win.
02:50I would like to ask for a response that he has told Ricardo Sierra,
02:53that we have heard on television, in direct,
02:54that he doesn't know his future now and he wants to know what he is,
02:58that is pronto, that we will see how the season ends.
03:00I would like to know if, in case of the fact that no,
03:05he will follow Carlo Ancelotti,
03:07you would know that he will follow the championship of the club or no?
03:12Oh, that are they have come to say, and you do now, Carlo?
03:15No, no, no, no, I can't talk about this now, please.
03:17No.
03:20Good evening, Mr. Jose Luis Sánchez, in direct, in direct, for El Chiringuito.
03:23Ayer he episode a phrase that remained a little on the air,
03:26about how it is going to be its last game in the Champions,
03:29in the Copa Europe, the last one most laureated in this competition.
03:32Do you think that it's its last game or not?
03:33No, no, no, I can't.
03:35It can happen.
03:36I can happen that if the club decides to change.
03:39The next day the club decides to change.
03:41It could be this year, it could be the next year when I finish the contract.
03:45There is absolutely no type of problem.
03:49The day that I finish here, I can only do one thing.
03:55Thank you to this club.
03:57It could be tomorrow, it could be in 10 days, in a month, in a year.
04:01The only thing I do is give thanks to this club.
04:07This is nothing else.
04:09If my contract is finished at the end, if it doesn't, it will give me exactly the same.
04:17Hello, how are you?
04:19Carlos, here you are.
04:21Javi Gómez, in direct for the game of the Cope.
04:25Everyone asks about his future.
04:27Do you think Carlo Ancelotti is the only culpable of the image that has given the Real Madrid in Champions?
04:33Well, that someone consider that I am the only culpable.
04:37It doesn't change absolutely what I'm going to think in the next few days.
04:43I think that it is exactly to prepare well for the next game, to continue in the fight of the Liga and to try to win the Cup of the Rey.
04:51It is exactly the same.
04:53Hello, Mr.
04:54Here is Alberto Pereira, in direct for the Radio Estadio Noche.
04:57I would like to ask, now that we have a lot of time,
04:59and that we are not going to play Madrid in the Champions,
05:01what is the most you have liked or the most you have liked the team in the almost 60 partitions of this year?
05:11I think, at the level of attitude, the team has given everything that could give,
05:16and not always we have been able to do.
05:21It has been, compared with the last year, a little bit of attitude collective.
05:26What's up, Carlos? Rubén Cañizares, of ABC.
05:30Well, he explained here to the colleagues that the club has its right to think about if you are the right to the next season,
05:37for the next season or not.
05:39He has a contract until the next season.
05:41A couple of months I asked if you had decided to leave the club this year,
05:47and he said that that would never happen.
05:50I would like to ask if, after this elimination and seeing the passing of these two or three months,
05:55you would like to think so,
05:57or at some point you would like to go to the Florentino's office and say that
06:01maybe he is not the right to be the right to be this team?
06:04No, I would like to think.
06:10Hello, Mr. Manuel de Juan, for the Diario ASS.
06:13I would like to ask you about this game,
06:16because he said that the attitude is not needed,
06:19but he said that football is not needed,
06:21and he said that at the moment in Madrid
06:23he has seen a lot of impotent and incapable to enter,
06:26and if that can affect what comes,
06:28and that the players, maybe,
06:29are not motivated by trying to do that,
06:31and that for a lot of time, they did not have been able to do it.
06:34No, this is what you have said,
06:38not to manage well the part of the football,
06:40because they are down the arms,
06:42they are not motivated for the next game,
06:44which means that they have not managed well in this sad moment.
06:48So, I have to focus well on the team,
06:52and I think that it will be done,
06:54that there are games that we have to play,
06:57where we have to be protagonists,
06:59because there are games that are very important.
07:04What are you talking about?
07:06I'm asking you, Manu,
07:08if you think that football is missing today in Madrid,
07:11and we have seen that in the first part,
07:12which is not usual,
07:13that Ceballos has calentado.
07:14If in any moment you have arrepentido
07:16of not putting a player like Ceballos or Modric?
07:18Ceballos was not 100%,
07:20and that's why he has not entered the game.
07:23The last two questions.
07:26Hello, Carlos.
07:27Good morning.
07:28I have commented on this one,
07:30on this one,
07:31on this one,
07:32on the need to manage this sad moment.
07:35To Madrid,
07:36there are still a few games in the Liga,
07:38there is a final of the Copa,
07:39there is a Mundial of Clubs.
07:41Do you think about the
07:43the end of the team's response
07:45in the last season?
07:47No, absolutely not.
07:49Because I think
07:50what I have told them today,
07:53and I think it was quite clear,
07:55that they have to have high head
07:57to keep fighting and fighting
07:59and learn from this moment
08:01to be better for the next part.
08:04Last question.
08:06Now, Mr.
08:07Jose Aguado de la Razón.
08:08If he could go back and play
08:10again, would he change something?
08:12No.
08:14Thank you very much.
08:15Thank you very much.
