Ancelotti, worried about Real Madrid’s game

Carlo Ancelotti secured after winning against UD Las Palmas (2-0) that in addition to the missed opportunities for more goals, he was “worried at the end of the second half” because he saw his players slowing down and losing control of the game.

“I’m worried about the end of the second half, when we slowed down and didn’t have good control of the game. We defended too low and with little intensity. That’s what worried me the most,” he criticized.

On the positive side, he maintained the attitude in which his players jumped to break the concessions of the first minutes to the rivals that cost them goals. “We tried to start the game strongly and avoid problems. We pressed well from the top, we returned many balls and we lacked success in the first half and intensity in the second. The wear of the games is already quite excellent,” he added.

He highlighted the good play of Brahim Díaz, who scored a goal in his first start, and Joselu Mato when returning to the starting position and also scored…

“Brahim and Josela They contributed something good to the team, especially in the first half. We could have had more success, but in attack we created danger because of the quality that both have. When a player who plays a little goes out on the field and works well, we are all very happy because it means that he works well and is motivated even though he doesn’t play much,” he boasted.

He also appreciated the return of Vinícius and confirmed that he will start on Saturday in Girona in the game for the leadership of LaLiga. “He approached with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm, he wanted to score and contribute to the team. Obviously after a month something is missing, but he has fully recovered. Now these days he has to prepare well and be ready for Saturday’s game that will start him.”

And he eased the scoring drought he’s currently experiencing. Rodrygo, who has not scored since the first day and against UD Las Palmas He once again missed the opportunity to score a goal.

“Strikers go through periods where when you don’t score you get a bit anxious and worried. That happens with Rodrygo. What we have to do is continue to trust him. He didn’t score today, but he assisted fantastically Josel. He contributed enough to my game. Obviously for him the goal is very important and it will come at a time when he is not thinking about the goal, only about how he is doing. With the quality he has, the goal will come.”

Jude Bellingham For the first time, he was left out of the starting line-up, and even without minutes, as Luka Modric in a rotation plan that Ancelotti assured his players understood perfectly. ·It was planned with both of them. I preferred to give them a break, esp Bellinghamwho told me he was tired and thus avoided problems.

“The players understand that rotations are important, I’m trying to lead the team. Until the break, they will happen because wear and tear is very important, there are a lot of injuries in this part of the season where it’s difficult for players to perform at the same level. One hundred percent. Rest is good,” he said. is.

Finally he answered Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, that according to information from Brand In his circles, he commented that he stands by what he stated in last year’s statement even after the derby, with complaints about the refereeing. Real Madrid televisión, the white club manages to falsify the competition and create an unbearable climate for the referees.
