On September 3, Ancelotti returned to the Real Madrid base and was interviewed by Real Madrid TV.

Ancelotti visited the Real Madrid training ground to see the team. The former Real Madrid coach and current Brazil national team head coach came to Valdebebas to greet Mourinho and the players before training began.

Ancelotti told Real Madrid TV: "Today I have a dual role, as the Brazil national team coach and as a private individual returning to say hello, returning to a place where I spent a long time, and to visit the Brazilian players who are recovering. It was a wonderful morning."

"Mourinho and I established a very good relationship a long time ago. We exchange ideas and messages. I am very happy that he is at Real Madrid, a great club, and he knows it very well. He will do very well. He is a great coach, and I believe he will do an excellent job here."

Start of the new season

"The team has started very well. Although they encountered some difficulties at the beginning, they gradually played better and performed very well against Real Sociedad. Now, the team will face Betis in La Liga and Inter Milan in the Champions League, which are important matches. I think the team is well prepared, and the new signings will also bring a lot of help. This will be a great season for Real Madrid."

Real Madrid

"Real Madrid is home, family, everything. I had a wonderful time here and created many beautiful memories. Now I have transformed from a coach to a fan, or rather, the number one fan. Whenever Real Madrid plays, I sit in front of the TV to watch."

Brazil national team

"The World Cup has concluded for a group of football players, many of whom were great. Now, a new generation must begin. We are especially evaluating young Brazilian players around the world and starting to plan for a new generation, hoping they can meet the 2030 World Cup with ambition and quality, and strive to compete with all teams in the world.

This generation of players, currently around 20 years old, is excellent. In the next few friendly matches, we will make better use of the opportunity to get to know these young players."
