With tears in his eyes, Ancelotti spoke about the impact of the tragedy on the local communities, particularly those near Valencia. "It's been a week of great tragedy," he said. "We feel sadness. It's the emotion we have. We are very close to Valencia and all the towns that have been affected. I hope this can be resolved soon."

The Italian coach emphasized the inappropriateness of focusing solely on football during such a difficult time. "I want you to understand that talking about football at this moment is a bit complicated, just like playing football," he said. "We are part of this country and all of this affects us greatly. We must not disrespect those who are suffering."

Ancelotti went on to express his support for postponing all weekend football matches. "Everyone in football has been pretty clear on this," he said. "No one wanted to play; it seemed like the right decision. But we are not the ones who make the decisions, and we have to respect the decisions of those at the top."
