⌛ He stopped time getting dressed?! Ancelotti's son’s wild tale The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The same goes for Carlo Ancelotti’s son Davide, who is also trying his hand at coaching.

Davide Ancelotti has now revealed on the ‘Tripletta’ podcast by ‘Gazzetta’ that his father passed on his ambition to him and at times encouraged it through unusual antics. He confirmed a story that has been floating around corners of the internet for quite some time. According to the story, when Ancelotti Jr.

was a child, his father used a stopwatch to time how long Davide took to put on his pajamas. “That was the trick of a great coach. He gave me a challenge so that I would go to bed.

Basically, it works the same way with footballers, who are always very ambitious,” the 36-year-old explained on the podcast. So ambition and competitiveness are the secret of champions - but it shouldn’t be taken too far either: “For example, I remember that at Real, two players played a badminton match at 4 a. m.

after returning from an away game because they had promised each other they would,” Davide Ancelotti said, also recalling that the football tennis court had to be removed because the contests were getting too heated. So ambition should not become too obsessive. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
