Ancelotti: “not contemplating alternating keepers”

Carlo Ancelotti declared that his not considering alternating his goalkeepers for the team’s home and away matches when he spoke to the media on Friday afternoon.

Casillas: “I won’t be announcing the squad list today; we’ve still got a training session to get through and I’ll decide after that”.

Alternating keepers home and away: “I’m not thinking about doing that”.

The goalkeeper question: “I have great forwards and great goalkeepers. I don’t it’s fair to put all of my players in a ratings table. I have affection for all of them but I have to pick a team of 11. If Iker players it’s because he is the best”.

Keylor Navas and Villiam Vecchi’s ‘mundane’ training programme: “He is the best goalkeeping coach in the world. It’s untrue, madness (that Navas has been surprised by his methods)”.

Why did you change goalkeepers? (against Elche): “To give Keylor minutes”

Benzema: “He shouldn’t be worried that he hasn’t been scoring. He’s not under pressure. All he needs to do is think about helping the team and try to play better to give us solutions in attack”.

Casillas and Keylor Navas: “They get along well and respect each other; I don’t know whether they eat together or not”.

Villarreal: “We struggled against them in last season’s fixture. They are a good side, a quick-moving side who are well-organized. It’s going to be a complicated game and it’s vital that we start with intensity and aggression, like we did against Deportivo”.

Playing against Cristiano: “I had that experience when I was at AC Milan and when he was at Manchester United. It’s not easy to stop the world’s best player. It’s better not to think about that, he needs to be relaxed so we have to leave him in peace”.

Cristiano and Michael Jordan: “Right now, Cristiano is the best player in the world, without question. Marking him isn’t easy. We're lucky that he plays for us. He has great character, he’s a professional and a leader”.

Mourinho’s record or conceding the fewest goals: “Teams that win trophies are generally solid on the pitch and not conceding goals is a good sign of that. That is how we won cup tournament last season. If we don’t concede goals it’s good for us because it’s very difficult to see us not scoring ourselves”.

Pepe and Coentrão: “Neither is available for tomorrow’s game”.

Rumours linking Cristiano to a return to United: “It’s nonsense. He is happy here, he’s motivated and all of madridismo is delighted with him”.

Chicharito: “I haven’t decided on my line-up yet, we’ll see”.
