"Florentino knew how to win me over"
Tomorrow, Carlo Ancelotti will present his book 'Il mio albero di natale' ('My Christmas Tree'). The title takes its inspiration from the system that he himself created, the 'Christmas Tree' formation (4-3-2-1). It is considered to be his greatest, most innovative contribution to football. MARCA has a couple of little tasters from the book for you…
Player relationships
"I've said that the search for dialogue is fundamental, but I think it is essential to take great care about what is communicated. The option to not talk to a player may be down to not wanting them to think that we are taking the mickey out of them".

The missed opportunity in last season's PSG-Barça game
"What a game it was against Barcelona in the Champions League! Every time I think about it again I'm more convinced that we deserved to go through and get into the semi-finals against Bayern Munich. [In the first leg] our error was being too psychologically dependant".

Liverpool's big comeback in Istanbul
"In the second half, the Liverpool side that came out was different, which, at that point, didn't seem to change the situation much. Hamann came on for Finnan. The English side abandoned a 4-4-2 formation and moved to a 3-5-2. Perhaps we should have dealt with the changes they made better".

Real Madrid and Florentino
"The president, Florentino Pérez, a very hospitable man, made me feel at home and took me to the trophy room. He obviously knew how to win me over: 'there's one missing', but there are nine together, all alongside each other. I had never seen them. He looked at me and repeated: 'beautiful, very beautiful, but there's one missing'".
