Live Bar March 20, Barca, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid star Schuster was interviewed by the "As" newspaper, he talked about the Spanish national derby, Mbappe, Haaland, he played 13 national derbies for Barca, six times for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid vs Barca
The Spanish national derby is the most competitive game in the football world, which is a big deal, and on a few occasions when playing for Barca we saved the season by beating Real Madrid. When we don't win the championship, beating them, especially at the Bernabeu, is important for our fans and you can keep them happy all day. It is not wrong to say that this game is not taken seriously in Madrid, of course real Madrid fans want to beat Barca no matter what, but they will take another, calmer way. In Barcelona, the atmosphere will be tense throughout the week. It could also be because Barca players react more strongly than Real Madrid players.
Who is more important to Xavi or Ancelotti?
Real Madrid want to win the league title, while Barca want to save the season by winning real madrid while ensuring they have a place in next year's Champions League.
You coached Real Madrid and won the league title, have you never had the opportunity to coach Barca?
I don't know, I don't think so, no one has ever considered me, at least I've never received a specific offer. If LaPorta had called me after Coman, I would have gone. There was nothing that scared me, as Harvey was doing now.
A few months ago, when Coman was on the edge of the cliff, Laporta thought of you?
(Laughs) Hmm... Maybe I'm on the list, maybe there is, someone told me something, but I'm not sure if that's true. But maybe at some point, I might be on the list, but I'm not sure.
Xavi coaches Barca
I know him, I know how he sees football and maybe an experienced coach would think more than a coach who is so young. Nothing scares him, absolutely not, and that's why he coaches, whether the timing is right or not. LaPorta saw the opinions of the fans and the media, and everyone was happy about his arrival. Harvey's biggest strength is being young.
If, at that tough time, Laporta picked up the phone and said 'we need you', would you come?
Yes, it's definitely not a problem, and just as Harvey does it, I do it from my own experience. I'm not afraid either, I don't worry at all.
Can Real Madrid win this season's league title?
Only Real Madrid can lose it on their own, and yes, I never thought Sevilla and Betis were important opponents for the title, while Barca and Atletico still have a points gap.
How about Ancelotti?
I like him very much and we get along very well. We've played games, he's in Sacchi's Milan, I'm at Real Madrid. As a player, he was already a strategist, so I wasn't surprised by what he did as a coach. He's calm, although he's Italian, he loves football and he knows how to lead a team. That's a big plus for a great coach, he's always played for a top team with superstars, he's a natural manager.
Kylian Kylian Mbappe joins Real Madrid?
Seems so, doesn't it? He's a player who can get people to witness the next decade. As people say, he's smart, he's silently expressing himself on the pitch, he's running, he's passing... He had no tattoos and did not have hair dyed green or red. In Paris, he knows how to stay in excellent shape all the time. After Neymar joined, he didn't say anything, and after Messi joined, he didn't say anything. Mbappe Benzema Vinicius can form a luxury striker.
Haaland joins Real Madrid?
He may not be a good fit for Real Madrid, but I have my own opinion about him. I think he should leave Borussia Dortmund but probably not come to Madrid and I don't see the possibility of him joining Barca because the way he plays is different. I can see his future in England, where football is better suited to him, at least for now.
The best team right now?
I love Bayern, Klopp's Liverpool is back and he's always looking for a goal. Chelsea are doing well, I was never persuaded by Tuchel, but I realised he has found a team and grown a lot, not because he won the Champions League, but because he showed his worth as a coach by building a team that he had difficulties with both Borussia Dortmund and Paris.
These three teams will once again lead the way, they are very German?
Yeah, then people started saying, defend with three or five and so on, but that's never the case, Real Madrid have 107 goals from centre-backs, they're an attacking team. Everybody gets involved in attack, even sometimes I stand with the centre-backs and now they don't look so defensive, depending on where you put the full-backs and who the full-backs are.
