According to Tasnim news agency, Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of the Real Madrid football team, said after winning the UEFA best coach award in 2022: It is very important for me to have a good relationship with the players and the dressing room. Our work is based on respect. It is difficult to choose the players of the starting line-up, that is why it is very important to have a good relationship with all the players and to explain the reasons for not being in the starting line-up to those who sit on the bench. They are human too, of course, it is not only the head coach who does this.
Ancelotti praised Karim Benzema, the captain of Real Madrid, who played a significant role in his team’s European championship with 15 goals in the European Champions League last season, and because of this, he became the best player in the European Champions League and the best player in UEFA. I am impressed. He is not only a striker but also a complete player. He is a player who knows how to play football. His motivation and approach to daily work is very good. He has improved a lot in recent years and knows how to lead the team. His role as a commander is very important for the team. He is one of my good friends and that means a lot. We are very lucky to have Karim.
