The suitcase of Carlo Ancelotti is ready, but his destiny at Naples is not at all obvious and therefore it is not clear if in addition to preparing baggage shortly he will also have to provide for the purchase of a travel ticket. The voices are many and chase each other. It is rumored that De Laurentiis is thinking of replacing the technician, regardless of how it will end with the Genk, but the coach is too experienced to lose his serenity. The leader is always calm, even if this does not mean that he is not very angry with himself and with others. "The suitcase - says Ancelotti at a press conference - must always be ready for a coach, so mine is also ready. I think being questioned in this situation for a coach is absolutely normal. I talk to the president every day, we are all focused on the game. It will be a great opportunity to achieve an important goal, and therefore to make all the assessments related to the result of this match. Nothing else''. The challenge with the Genk is decisive but not so complicated on paper, also because defeat could suffice at Napoli to pass the turn, provided that Liverpool wins the match against Salzburg. And therefore Ancelotti cannot, at least from this point of view, be optimistic. We also touch the key of the January market and, inevitably, we talk about Zlatan Ibrahimovic. '' Ibra? I heard it last night - says Ancelotti -. He told me he is in Los Angeles and he is from God, there is a perfect climate ". But it reveals nothing more. "I have the feeling - says the coach - that we will have a great game and we will spend the round and we hope to pass it first, it would be important to have an affordable eighth. It is normal to be questioned, I am not afraid of being sent away or that I can leave. If certain conditions are not met, it is right for both parties to close. But right now I'm not thinking about all this, I'm worried about the team. I feel very involved for this negative period, but it will end, it has already lasted too long. I have to keep doing mine, I'm not doing the best. I have to involve the players, who are the tool to show their qualities. I would never want the players to play for me, so I may have doubts ". "Anyway," says Ancelotti, "it all depends on the fact that the coach is not mistaken in training. Milik - he adds - is doing well and has trained with the team these days, we evaluate him and I think he can be available. Allan still has a bit of a nuisance for that blow to the rib but he has trained and we can hopefully be there. Instead he had a Maksimovic problem that will not be there. In general I expect a convincing performance as many of the Champions have been where we have made a positive journey in a difficult group and the fact of being one step away from qualifying means that at least in this competition the team has given its best and when it gives the maximum can compete with anyone ". Is the help of a psychologist in the locker room? '' I had it at Milan - Ancelotti concludes - it is a figure that I know well; it is a great help, but it depends on the evaluation that the players make of it. If it is a human resource enhancer it is fine, but if it is intended as a psychiatrist it is totally negative ".
