The case arises from the long interview given by the Real Madrid coach to the newspaper “Il Giornale”. Among the many questions about the coach's career and future, the journalist asks for clarification on ““La Liga, the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup”, the response published by the newspaper is as follows: “Fifa forgets it, players and clubs will not participate in this tournament. A single Real Madrid match is worth 20 million and FIFA wants to give us this amount for the entire cup. Negative”.
Thunder and lightning. Black on white. Ancelotti does not seem to agree with the innovative formula which is expected to start next season. Chaos breaks out. His remarks are reported by all newspapers and sites.
At this point the Spanish club takes a stand, denying the words of its coach, and publishes a note on its social platforms clarify: “Real Madrid announces that at no time was his participation in the new Club World Cup called into question which will be organized by FIFA during the next 2024/2025 season. Our Club will therefore participate, as planned, in this official competition which we face with pride and with the greatest enthusiasm to make our millions of fans around the world dream again with a new title.
The same Reggiolo coach, after a succession of news for and against, wants to clarify his position via social networks: “My words were not interpreted as I would have liked. Nothing is further from my interest than refusing to participate in a tournament that I consider to be an excellent opportunity to continue fighting for great trophies with Real Madrid.
