Real Madrid is preparing to face Barcelona tomorrow in the Clasico of Spanish and international football, in a match in which a victory will bring Real Madrid closer to the La Liga title, as well as the last chance for Xavi to compete for the league this season.
In the press conference that preceded the match, Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on one of the most important men in the Manchester City match, the player whom Ancelotti described as having the greatest role in Real Madrid’s rise and defeat of Manchester City.
Ancelotti said: “Mendy is the best full-back in the world currently, and had it not been for his presence in the last Manchester City match, Real Madrid would not have been able to withstand the attacking tide of Manchester City.”
Ancelotti continued: He was able to restrict the role of Phil Foden, one of Manchester City’s most important stars, and he also removed De Bruyne from the match because of his close monitoring of the Belgian player.
In a loud surprise revealed by the Spanish newspaper “Marca”, Perez made a decision some time ago to offer the French player Ferland Mendy for sale, a decision that Ancelotti strongly opposes and believes that the player is one of the most important stars of Real Madrid, and what he presented in the City match is proof of that.
The newspaper added that Ancelotti will try to change Perez’s conviction by selling the player and give him a new opportunity to continue within the ranks of Real Madrid, but will Perez agree or is the decision final and beyond discussion?!
