Carlo Ancelotti has said he and his Real Madrid players are looking forward to a special night of European football against Liverpool this evening, but won’t let the atmosphere get the better of them.
Anfield is known across the world for having one of the best atmospheres, particularly under the floodlights on big European occasions. And Ancelotti believes his players will revel in the occasion.
Speaking to journalists at his press conference, the Italian, who guided Los Blancos to success in the Champions League last season, predicted a classic match between two great teams.
“We’ll see everything that can be said about a good match: two great teams playing really good football, and a spectacular and very dynamic match that we’ll try to win. Playing at Anfield is always special, above all with the atmosphere that we’re going to see,” he stated.
But he warned Liverpool that his side would not change the way they play and would seek to dominate in terms of possession and hit fast on the break.
“The philosophy of our play isn’t going to change and less so against a competitive team that’s really strong at home. The idea is to control the match with our quality. We’re here and it would be strange to be thinking about the match on Saturday,” he said.
