Mistakes of Carlo Ancelotti – Admitted
The Real Madrid coach has practiced an arduous self-criticism on the eve of Alaves, pointing to the defeat in Paris: “I want to be honest: we played very badly against PSG. The approach was bad, it did not work out and I am responsible. But the result: We can change fighting, suffering, a 1-0 is not so bad, in fact it was the best thing on Wednesday, let it stay that way. We have three weeks to think about how to fix it.” Carlo has recognized that the following hours were very complicated for him, as well as for the president and members of the board: “We had the same feeling: we were hurt. The image was bad and that is what hurts the most. Personally, Wednesday was very complicated, yesterday I was better and today, already with a lot of confidence”.
Praising Karim Benzema
He has applauded the return of Benzema, of which he has indicated that as “starting striker” he is going to contribute to “fixing this”, as well as downplaying Vinicius’ pothole, with six games in a row without scoring: “He is what happens to everyone, that we are not well. It is not a physical issue. He has had a very intense month of January, but now there is a time when he is going to slow down the games and recover his effectiveness”. Finally, he pointed out that the team will practice high pressure in the next games, assuming that they have focused too much on the low block game with fast transitions, he praised the personality of his players, key to “get out of this situation” and He has left with a forceful “tomorrow we are going to win.
