With Carlo Ancelotti in isolation due to Covid-19, Real Madrid has chosen not to send representatives to the pre- and post-match press conferences. This is how he did it in LaLiga against Celta, an action that he has repeated in London in the previous one against Chelsea

The Real Madrid will have to confront economic sanctions by the attitude taken in the last two parties in LaLiga and the Champions League. The group 'merengue' has not sent any representative of his technical body to the press conferences pre and post split in front of the Celtic of Vigo and Chelsea, due to the fact that the míster Carlo Ancelotti is of rest by Covid-19. His son Davide, second trainer, would have to replace to his father in front of the means, but has not done it.

In fact, the alone Tuesday Thibaut Courtois attended to the means in the room of press of Stamford Bridge, with which the competitions will apply the correctivos corresponding. In the case of LaLiga, the competition forces to the clubs to send representatives to each press conference a day before each party. In case of the absence of the first trainer, the regulation establishes that his asintente will have to follow suit. If both ausentan of form justified, some member of the technical body will have to attend to the means.

If ningpun member of the technical body attends to the press conference, LaLiga will apply an economic sanction established in a system of negative points. Each unit has a monetary value and, at the end of the season, the club will have to cancel the corresponding fine, according to the negative points accumulated. The money collected in these sanctions is allocated by the competition to improvements of the audiovisual transmission, as it establishes the Regulation of Transmission.

In the Champions, by his part, the UEFA also forces to the clubs to send a delegate of the technical body to the press conferences pre and post party, if the trainers titled can not do it. In 2013, the competition fined with 10,000 euros to Sir Álex Fergusson for denying to participate in the press conference after the party in front of the Real Madrid by the eighth of final (1-2). The Scottish was very annoying for considering unfair the expulsion of Nani, played that changed that party and the eliminatory.

The 'fear' of the Madrid in front of the means

The white group knew that his decision of 'happen' of the press conferences would force him to pay fines to final of the season, but did not matter him. Without Carlo Ancelotti, any member of the technical body has given the face in front of the means, in a very questionable attitude. The difficult moment that crosses the club after the conclusive defeat in front of the FC Barcelona in the Classical (0-4) remains in evidence, as well as a possible 'fear' of the club in front of the means.

Anybody planted face after the bochornosa victory in Vigo (1-2) and neither in London in the previous in front of Chelsea. If Ancelotti follows without obtaining a PCR negative will not be able to travel to Stamford bridge, by which neither there would be representation of the Madrid in the press conference post party in front of the 'blues', maybe back to a defeat that aggravate even more the crisis in the white group.
