“Tactics are only part of the game, you have to find a good balance and give the players a plan and solutions. To face Madrid you must have the complete package. You must force your luck. We must propose things to the players, a mix between discipline and at the same time a freedom for the footballers to let loose. And we also have experience,” said the Teutons strategist.
“His way of being, his CV and his experience make him a kind of father for his footballers. Everyone has to follow the path they are convinced of. I don’t think the only thing he does is choose eleven players and that’s it. What he does is not a game of chance. We are going to focus on content, offer easy solutions and play with some freedom. It may be a brief moment that takes us to the crest of the wave and that is what we will try to take advantage of. I think we also have some experience,” he said of Ancelotti.

“I don’t know one hundred percent. We have to wait to know the results of the latest tests. Laimer looks good, we’ll see what happens with the rest. Patience. I think it’s too early for De Ligt and Upamecano. As for Jamal and Leroy, it will be a last-minute decision,” she highlighted.
“There are two early endings. And I will propose an eleven for a final. We will not field players who are not ready for 90 minutes. I won’t think about the second leg because many things can happen in the first leg that will be decisive for the second game. We will do everything possible to win and there will be time to think about the return,” concluded the strategist.
