00:00Welcome to Carlo Ancelotti's Alaves press conference.
00:05Alaves, only lost one in the last five and they're up against relegation.
00:10What are you expecting from them?
00:14I'm expecting a Real Madrid who are capable to recover this difficult patch.
00:19Everyone saw, everyone knows what's ahead of us on Wednesday.
00:25And we all know what we need to do on our part in the game tomorrow.
00:30We need to fight because they're fighting to stay in La Liga and it's necessary to play well and win.
00:42Difficult week, but you've got through to the Copa del Rey final, but a 3-0 loss to Arsenal.
00:53Are people talking about a comeback?
00:55No, we're talking about playing well tomorrow, winning, give everything in tomorrow's game.
01:06Because it's fundamental for us to come back to having that good feeling in the dressing room.
01:12I'd like to ask how you're doing.
01:22And if you've been thinking a lot about the game the other day.
01:25It's the same with every loss.
01:32When you lose a game, they're tough times.
01:36And you've got to think about how to get back and focus on what's ahead.
01:44Because football's like that.
01:46After a loss, you've got an immediate opportunity to recover and, you know, get back those good sensations.
01:59And I think the team's trained very well in these two days and they're very focused to win tomorrow.
02:11I understand that after the Arsenal game, that you've been with Florentino Pérez.
02:25Have they reaffirmed their trust in you, like, as always?
02:36And when will it be known whether you will carry on with Real Madrid?
02:40I don't have to answer that question.
02:51I've got years left on my contract and after that, nobody knows.
02:59I've got nothing to add.
03:00It's not a question for me.
03:02The club have supported me.
03:04And especially in the hard moments.
03:10Speaking about the comeback,
03:17is it difficult to focus on tomorrow's game?
03:25No, because we've got a great opportunity to win and come back to winning ways
03:31and come back after a tough week and to compete and fight.
03:37It will be a tough game because they're up against relegation.
03:40But we're going to play well, prepare.
03:42And it's very important tomorrow.
03:47A lot of people speak about how much the players run after losses.
03:58Does it bother you that there are stats that come out about how much the players run?
04:04The stats are clear.
04:11We did run less than our opposition.
04:18I think in that sense it has bothered us because, you know, we'd like to do better.
04:23But that's not it.
04:24You know, we look at that stat like any other one.
04:29Because of how the top of La Liga is and Champions League,
04:38people are saying that Real Madrid even can't turn this around.
04:45What do you think?
04:47We'll try.
04:47I think Real Madrid are the only team that have done it a lot of times.
04:53And, you know, there's no reason why it can't happen again.
04:58You know, we feel it when our fans support us and believe in it.
05:02And we will try.
05:03What's true is that we're going to try it until from the first minute to the last.
05:17Going back to the running stats.
05:19You, all season long, have been talking about the defensive commitment.
05:36The last time that Real Madrid covered more distance than their opponent was in December.
05:42Could you do something more to improve that?
05:45You know, there's a lot of individual traits of the players, but
05:51In previous years, it's been exactly the same.
05:57You know, covering less distance.
05:58It doesn't tell the whole story.
06:06They don't talk about sprints that much.
06:09You know, it doesn't help.
06:10It doesn't tell the whole story.
06:11And, you know, those stats always come out as less because of the kind of players we have.
06:20And that doesn't mean that you're going to lose out on anything.
06:25You know, that stat of running less.
06:29It's true against Arsenal.
06:30We ran less.
06:32Both in terms of sprints and in total.
06:40You know, they worked more than us on that day.
06:46I'd like to ask about Danny Ceballos.
06:50Will he travel to Victoria for the game?
06:52And will he be ready for Wednesday?
06:54He's ready.
06:55Danny Ceballos is ready for tomorrow.
06:57And, obviously, for Wednesday, too.
07:05People spoke about a comeback before.
07:07What footballing aspects of Real Madrid have this year to, you know, we've only got to try and do it.
07:25A couple of problems that Real Madrid have had recently in La Liga has been a goal scorer.
07:42It's difficult to say.
07:43You know, it's been a bit low and efficiency has been low in the past week.
07:56We've let in too many goals.
07:58You know, we've got to put the brakes on because that defensive solidity is very important, especially in moments where, you know, the players up front aren't perhaps as effective as they have been before.
08:13Out of all of the quarter-finalists, Real Madrid are the only ones who don't play on Sunday.
08:27And we believe there was an attempt to change the game.
08:32It's, you know, it is what it is.
08:34It's happened a lot of times this season.
08:36They understand us, our complaints.
08:45But the truth is that we have more than 72 hours of rest and we can't complain.
08:51Thank you very much and tune in later on for some live training action.
