SOME OF THE ANCELOTTI PRE MATCH SOUTHAMPTON P/C
Good news week
In the last few days, there's been a lot of good news. We are working to keep the good news every day. It was a good result [at Anfield], a good step forward for the new stadium & Digne signed a new contract
Ancelotti wants home comforts
The result was really good, the performance also showed we can compete in some games. Now we have to look forward because we have a home game, we have to improve our home run at Goodison
Duo are fit to start
Ancelotti confirms Allan and Calvert-Lewin are ok and training regularly "They are ready to play, for sure, from the beginning"
Another couple of weeks out for Mina
Gbamin is progressing well. We don't know when he will be back training with the team. I think Yerry Mina will be out for at least two weeks
Ancelotti on Saints
They play games with a strong intensity, high pressure & played quite well in my opinion. I think we have to pay attention about what we are able to do at home that we could not in the last games. We want to avoid problems we had in the games before
Carlo on Euro Race
In my opinion we don't have to look at the table, we have to play game by game and see where we are at the end of the season. We have to work hard because it will not be easy, but I think we can compete until the end, To have the trust of the players is really important. It's [also] important to have the trust of the club. The best way is you have trust in the players & they have trust in you
Carlo on Meeting Fans after Derby Win
They [the fans] didn't talk to me
I went outside only once, biking but I go really fast so I am difficult to catch
Carlo on Bramley-Moore Dock
I would like to be there when the new stadium will be open. To finish the contract here until 2024 means you did a good job & that it won't be stopped on 2024. I feel good & so I would like to stay as long as possible"
Carlo on Home Form
Away we are more focused defensively. We do less mistakes... At home maybe we think that the games are easier & we are not able to keep the concentration that we had away [from Goodison] When you are able to open the scoring it is important, not only for us. Yes, of course, it will be really important - but as I said defensively we have to be more focused when we are at home
Carlo on Richarlison
He is a lot better, he's a better player than was in the first part of the season. Now he's working with consistency, he's focused. He can easily reach more goals this season, At the start of the season he was suspended for three games, he was not fit physically because he travelled a lot for int'l games. Now he's back. He can easily reach more than 10 goals this season. Richarlison is a top talent
Carlo on Improving non top 6 form
We have to be able to solve this kind of problem... This league is a really high level & I have to consider also the teams at the bottom are doing really well. To play against Fulham & Burnley is not easy, not at all"
Carlo on Pickford
He did really well and it is what he's able to do, and that's it. It's true that the fact that Olsen is there can help us to be more motivated and focused. I am going to continue the rotation of the goalkeepers until the end of the season.
Carlo on King
He played parts in games. It's important for him to stay fit. His condition is good & he is adapting really well. He will find a place in the first XI in some games
