Ancelotti on the title, Tchouaméni, Vinicius, Bellingham, rotations, Mbappé, Endrick ...

About Rayo Vallecano: "It's another demanding match against an opponent that has always made it difficult for us in recent years. They play well, intensely, at home... We are confident of playing a good match. The team has recovered well."

How are Mbappé and Camavinga?: "Mbappé's injury is not very serious, he will travel to Qatar because we believe he can recover from the injury. Camavinga is fine."

Tchouaméni: "I have to thank him for playing in a position that is not his own and doing everything for the good of the team. He is one of the best midfielders in the market, but we are in an emergency situation and he has to play as a center-back. Against Atalanta and Girona, we won both matches with him in that position even though it's not his natural position. We also have the luck of having found a very reliable player in the academy like Asencio."
 
 His situation on the bench: "This bench burns like the others. They all burn the same."

Vinicius: "He continues to be the best in the world for us, with enormous humility. His level is not surprising."

Is Bellingham the leader?: "I don't know if he's the leader, but he is a very important player. Leaders are chosen by teammates. Apart from his quality, he brings a lot of commitment to the team and this is highly valued by teammates."

Criticism towards his work: "I am not bothered by criticism because they do not reflect reality."

 
Few rotations: "It's true. I can rotate if I have the players, but if I have a squad of 14 or 15 players, it's difficult to rotate. You all talk about Endrick, how I give him few minutes, blah blah blah... but he is a very young player who needs to adapt, improve...".

Mbappé's injuries: "It's hard to say why these injuries occur. In the recent breaks, he has stayed here, rested, worked, and it's been noticeable because his performance has improved a lot."

Few minutes for Endrick: "When I say he needs to work, it's not a criticism because he is doing well. He is very young, he comes to Real Madrid, which has the best players in the world, and one must be patient. He doesn't demand anything, he's doing well, he has to continue his learning to keep improving."
