Eden Hazard recovered from his injury, but will not start because Carlo Ancelotti ‘prefers another player’

The Real Madrid coach assured that the Belgian is training normally and hopes that he will continue working to play.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday that Eden Hazard is ready to play, but for now “prefers another” player, although he does not doubt that “his time will come.”

The Belgian winger “is fine, he is training and ready to play, the problem he has now is that there is a coach who prefers another player,” Ancelotti said at the press conference prior to Wednesday’s league match against Osasuna.

“This can happen in a squad like Real Madrid, the important thing is that they have motivation, work to play. He is doing it and his chance will come ”, said the Italian coach.

“At the moment he is not playing, but he has all the characteristics of a footballer who plays for Real Madrid,” said Ancelotti, convinced that he will once again be an important man in the white team.

Bale was discharged

The merengue technician also pointed out that Gareth Bale has received a medical discharge, “He has started to work individually and I hope that in a week he will train with the team. At that moment he will be ready to play ”.

“Can’t tolerate bad education”

Asked about the harassment suffered by his FC Barcelona counterpart, Ronald Koeman, at the Camp Nou exit on Sunday, after the classic that Real Madrid won 2-1, Ancelotti gave his support to the Dutchman.

“I felt sorry for Koeman because rudeness cannot be tolerated. It’s a social problem, it’s not just a football problem, ”Ancelotti said of the images of some fans hugging Koeman and hitting his car.

“There is a lack of respect for the person, not for the coach. Koeman is a person who works as a coach, when the person is disrespected it means that society has a problem ”, said the Italian coach.

Criticism of the FIFA calendar

Ancelotti also criticized the current calendar and the multiplication of matches, stating that “with many games, the level somehow drops.”

“The calendar has too many games. FIFA and UEFA have to fix this because the players can get tired and if the players get tired, there are no games, ”said Ancelotti. (D)
