Touch football or vertical football? This is the question that was asked. Carlo Ancelotti this Friday, during the press conference preceding the League match against Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu. And it is clear. What Real Madrid fans want is “rock and roll”. And he explained very well what this football looks like.
“Real Madrid fans are used to watch rock and roll football, rather than watch football with lots of touches” said the Italian.
And the next question was, they asked him “what it takes” to play this type of football: “Entertaining, vertical, with intensity… without wasting too much time in reaching the rival objective.
“To please the Madrid fans, who I think he likes winning more than playing well.“, Carletto continues.
He also responded about “playing beautifully”: “There are many facets. Defend well, let my team come out with the ball well from behindthat my team does not waste time in possession…”.
