COACH ANCELOTTI REFLECTS ON HELPING INJURED REAL MADRID PLAYER
Real Madrid's Éder Militão considered retiring after his second ACL tear, revealing his mental struggle. Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti, his former manager, confirmed he spoke with the defender to offer support.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti and Eder Militao
Eder Militao, a Real Madrid player, recently told the media in an interview that he thought about hanging up his boots following his second ACL tear from the previous season.
Many thoughts crossed my mind when I sustained my second injury, to my right knee. I considered giving up football because it is difficult, but I am here today to play well with the support of my wife, daughter, and teammates," he stated.
After all, the defender's cruciate ligament rupture, which occurred only weeks after he recovered from the identical injury to his other knee, was a tragic event.
The player's point of view is understandable, given the difficulties a football player faces in recuperating from an ACL rupture and how exhausting the entire process is on both a physical and mental level.
Ancelotti's confidential discussion
Given that he was the manager of Real Madrid at the time, Carlo Ancelotti, the current manager of the Brazil national team, was questioned about Militao's remarks at a media appearance earlier today.
To offer his support and encourage the defender to put those ideas out of his mind, Ancelotti disclosed that he did, in fact, speak with him about the same thing.
The former Real Madrid manager disclosed, "I spoke with him since I have experienced knee injuries in my football career, which is something that any good football player can go through."
He went on to commend the Brazilian player for recovering from his injuries more resiliently and becoming a pillar of the Real Madrid defence.
At Real Madrid, he is playing at his peak and has fully healed. He is an extremely significant player. For the central position, there is fierce competition. We are quite composed about it.
Lastly, he was asked if, with Casemiro, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr., and Eder Militao in the mix, his setup for the current international break would have a Real Madrid "basis."
"I believe that the team is made up of more than just these players. I know these players and others quite well, of course," he remarked.
"Given the players' professionalism and attitude, I think the team atmosphere is incredibly excellent," Ancelotti said in closing.
GOAL OF MONTH SHORTLIST INCLUDES WOLTEMADE’S BRILLIANT STRIKE
Newcastle's German star Leon Woltemade is nominated for Premier League Goal of the Month for his superb flick against Brighton. Vote now for the summer signing's improvised Amex finish.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.
However, the summer acquisition, who has scored six goals for United since joining from Stuttgart in the summer, grabbed attention at the Amex Stadium with a superb improvised finish from Lewis Miley's low cross.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.
Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.
HUGE LISANDRO MARTINEZ UPDATE EMERGES AS UNITED PREPARE FOR FOREST ENCOUNTER
Manchester United receive a major boost as Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training. The Argentine defender has been out since February with a knee injury and is now closing in on a first-team return.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
