Ancelotti: “We're the reigning champions and we're very interested in the cup”

Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media in the press room at Real Madrid City the day before the Copa del Rey round of 32 match against Arandina (Saturday, 9.30pm CET). The Italian coach said: "We're the reigning champions and we took a lot of enjoyment from this competition last year. We're going to try to win it as we did last year. We start tomorrow and we'll be looking to do our best."
"The only three players who will not be travelling are Kroos, who has a small problem, Tchouameni and Vini Jr, who have to finish their recovery programme, and the rest are travelling and are available to play."
Changes
"I'm not talking about a game featuring changes. It'll be a difficult game, like last year's match against Cacereño. We have to take it seriously tomorrow because it's going to be difficult, but we'll try to win the game because it's a competition that we're very interested in. I might make some changes due to fatigue, as we played on Wednesday night, but the team will be competitive all the same."
The centre-back position
"Carvajal is an option there and Nacho is also coming back. Carrillo is training well and he's with us. Tchouameni needs to rest."
Squad
"Mendy is not yet in the squad, but he is available for the Super Cup. Camavinga is available. Kroos picked up a small ankle problem against Mallorca, but he'll be in Arabia. Güler is available today and it's possible that he could start the game."
Seasonal wishes 
"I've got a good relationship with Florentino Pérez and I've never asked him for more than what he has already given me. He's giving me everything in terms of warmth and emotion. I've got a good relationship with him and I'm very close to him."
Rotation in goal
"It's a different situation to the one we had with Casillas and Diego López. Kepa will play tomorrow. We've got competition in goal and that's good for us and for them, they're motivated and they're both working very well."
Playing with the roof closed at the Bernabéu
"It's quite different. There's a lot more noise, a much better atmosphere. This can push and help the team to be better."
Bellingham
"He's doing very well. He's done very well in this first part of the season, taking into account him settling in to our club, to a new culture and language, he's done very well. That's obviously the best for us."
What do you expect from tomorrow's game?
"Hopefully we can be at our best, putting in a solid performance and competing as we always do. I've got no doubts, I'm very confident. The team is motivated and very focused on the match. As I said, we got a lot of happiness out of this competition last year."
Results in the competition
"The only thing I can say is that I've won this competition twice and it was unforgettable, in Valencia and Seville."
What is behind Vini Jr.'s quick recovery?
"His professionalism and the excellent work done by the doctors and physios who have been working with him."
Sergio Ramos
"I've got a special liking for him and I hope he finishes his career in the best possible way. He will do because he's a serious professional and a brave man."
