Ancelotti clarified his words and defends himself against a possible sanction with Real Madrid: “I understand the rule, I’m not stupid”

Carlo Ancelotti has been away from controversy throughout his career. However, a few words that he spoke after the match between Real Madrid and Girona could cause him a big problem. The technician indicated that the penalty against the meringues was whistled against last Sunday. These statements were interpreted by the Spanish Federation in such a way that they sent a complaint against the DT to the Competition Committee of the tournament.

In this context, ‘Carletto’ took advantage of the talk on the eve of the game against Celtic for the Champions League to clarify his sentences and defend himself. “They have denounced me for what I have said. Penalty invented in Italy means that they have awarded a penalty that was not a penalty ”said the coach at a press conference.

Along the same lines, the transalpine strategist expressed that “Bad faith does not enter and the accusation to an arbitrator. I have never disrespected a referee.”. Of course, the coach continued with his position: “For me it was not a penalty because of what they explained to us at the beginning of the season. Nobody is infallible”narrowed down

Then, related to a possible sanction, Ancelotti takes it very calmly. “It doesn’t change much for me to be sanctioned for four games… If I lose four games, then be patient. I’ve directed 1,200, so if I miss four…”ironized regarding the decision made by the organization of the tournament.

At another time, the technical director of Real Madrid has requested better communication to resolve disputes immediately. “For us the clarity is that it was not a penalty. It is a football issue that is still not clear. They have to explain what the rule is because I understand it very well, I’m not stupid. They have explained to us that this was not criminal”.

To settle the matter, Ancelotti also made comments regarding the use of video arbitration in key situations, such as the one that cost Madrid two points at home. “Sometimes the VAR has more prominence than the referee. I understand that it is a very fine line. The error is clear and evident”sentenced.
