Josep Pedrerol hasn't held back after Real Madrid's defeat against Liverpool. In the latest program of El Chiringuito, the presenter has clearly defended Carlo Ancelotti, asking him not to be fired this season. He has pointed him out as "the best coach in the world" and has been blunt: There isn't much to teach the Italian.
Josep Pedrerol Stands Up for Ancelotti: "Not Even 32nd"
In the latest program on El Chiringuito, Pedrerol said: "Barça is doing so well that they've lost two games. Let's not give lessons. We can criticize Ancelotti but... giving Ancelotti lessons on how to manage a squad? Whether to train or not to train? Tactics? substitutions? ".
In this regard, Josep Pedrerol continued by saying: "Tell me a better coach than him in every way. He has made mistakes, he has been too ambiguous or vague and he has sent out the message of "we are not so bad". Then, in the locker room, he will say what to do. He cannot make a speech that pleases the culés. That's not what Ancelotti is about ."
Far from stopping there, he said: "And you say: "Florentino should say..." Does Ancelotti have to be told what Madrid is? Really? Today it's easy to beat him up, but you have to respect him. Be careful, he's won double. Others haven't even started."
Josep Pedrerol: Blunt with Ancelotti: "Respect"
Concluding his speech about Ancelotti, the journalist concluded: "Respect to the best coach in the world. We must let the best finish the season. Even if he finishes 32nd, he cannot be removed. It's not his turn, be careful."
Speaking about Real Madrid's match against Liverpool, Ancelotti said immediately after the match: "The match was difficult, but we knew it. I think this is the most difficult stadium in Europe right now. They have good dynamics, we were in the game until the penalty and then we dropped our level."
"In the first half we defended well, we could have made the most of the counterattack. But... I liked the team, I think we competed well, against the toughest rival in Europe. The result was right because they deserved to win, but we competed. We have to qualify, we are going to qualify and compete in the Champions League like last year," concluded Carlo Ancelotti.
