Ancelotti Reflects on Tragic Valencia Floods, Downplays Focus on Football

Carlo Ancelotti voiced melancholy feelings during his recent press conference, as Real Madrid is still affected by the severe flooding that has hit Valencia. The natural disaster, which has caused severe damage to lives and infrastructure, has forced Madrid to postpone its journey to Valencia, leaving Ancelotti and his players deeply touched.

Following the catastrophic flooding in Spain, various players and teams from across the world have sent tributes and donations to the devastated areas. Ancelotti admitted that the events have had a significant impact on him and his players, and that they are fighting to return their focus to football as they prepare for their Champions League encounter against AC Milan.

Ancelotti’s Statement

Speaking ahead of the game, Ancelotti remarked:

“It has been a week of great tragedy, and we are very sad. We are very close to Valencia and all the affected areas. Talking about football is complicated, as this affects us deeply as part of this country. Out of respect for everyone affected, I’ll keep this press conference brief. Tomorrow’s match is special, but it’s difficult for me to talk about football right now. Thank you.”
