Carlo Ancelotti "If both perform, Diego will play in La Liga and Iker in Europe"


"If both perform, Diego will play in La Liga and Iker in Europe" Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti faced the media in a pre-match press conference in Istanbul as ‘Los Blancos’ prepare to take on Galatasaray in Tuesday’s Champions League group stage opener.
Gareth Bale’s position in the team: “He’s a player who can play in all positions. I put him on the right [against Villarreal on Saturday] because I think that’s where he likes to play, but he can play in a number of positions.”
Iker Casillas to start at the Türk Telekom Arena: “I’ve changed my mind: Diego López is going to play [laughs]. I’m joking. Iker will play. I have two very good goalkeepers who have a fantastic attitude and in my opinion Diego deserves to play in La Liga and Iker, because of his professionalism and his ability, should play in the Champions League. Casillas has a lot of experience. He seems calm and I think he’s going to have a great match. He has all the ability to deal with the pressure; he has no problem with that.”
Goalkeepers: “If both perform well, Diego López will play in La Liga and Iker Casillas will play the Champions League for the whole season.”
Starting eleven: “It’ll be more or less the same as the side that played against Villarreal. [Álvaro] Arbeloa has recovered and we’ll see how he trains today. We have to be careful with Bale, because he played 60 minutes [against Villarreal] after a difficult pre-season. He didn’t have any problems after the match [on Saturday], but we have to think about it a little before putting him on the pitch. We’ll see on Tuesday.”
