Former Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernandez reveals the 'most important' secrets never left the dressing room

Former Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernandez has revealed that despite intense media coverage, the public never discovered the biggest incidents. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has also praised the dressing room atmosphere as “the best he's had” on several occasions.

Now at Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia, Nacho he left Los Blancos on top, lifting the league and Champions League titles as captain, before winning Euro 2024 with Spain. It was only his second year as captain. Nacho explained to Relief that he rarely had to deal with major problems.

“No one, why Real Madrid it's an easy club to deal with, it's a pleasure to work with all the people we have here. It is impressive, the club, as good as it is on the field and competing in games, is good internally. All the people help the players every day.”

“So my relationship with the club has always been good, there has always been a lot of ease. And the group of players that I had to lead was very easy. With a very good atmosphere. They made it as easy as possible to be captain “.

He was also asked how difficult it is to keep stories from leaving the dressing room and entering the press.

“This is the difficult part. In the end, in a dressing room we keep secrets… We are 25 players, then there are many people around who work with us, then those a little further away, they also discover a lot of things. There is a lot of us and it's a very big club, everyone knows each other.

“Maybe a simple comment will come out that we don't want to come out of the dressing room. We would like everything not to come out, but I believe that the most important things will never end up coming out,” said Nacho.

Certainly the contrast between Barcelona and Real Madrid has been remarkable in recent years, where Los Blancos are constantly in the headlines, but rarely for much more than what happens on the pitch. Meanwhile Barcelona, ​​and partly because of business that does not even have to do with the players, have been a production line of stories in recent years.
