MADRID, 3 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, described as “unprecedented” what happened this Saturday at the end of the match against Valencia, when referee Gil Manzano made the “mistake” of blowing the final whistle when Jude Bellingham finished off the goal that had been scored. was the goal of the visitor’s victory at Mestalla.
“Something unprecedented has happened. After the rebound we had possession, the play had to be stopped when Valencia entered possession of the ball. It had never happened to me. Nothing more to add. Then, Bellingham’s red card bothered us, He told him in English that ‘it’s a fucking goal’, and it was the truth,” he said at a press conference.
The coach regretted what happened in that outcome that did not change the 2-2 against Valencia and that, in addition, cost the Englishman his expulsion, fearing a sanction of more than one game. “The player has been clear in what he has said, he has approached in a vehement manner, as was normal after what has happened, but it was not an insult at all, let’s see what he writes in the minutes,” he stated.
“If he whistles when the Valencia goalkeeper rejects the ball, but has allowed it to continue, we still have possession, I think he has made a mistake,” he insisted.
Furthermore, Ancelotti valued the performance of Vinícius who scored both goals for his team in hostile territory. “He has played very well, he has been decisive. He has been more effective in the area than outside the area. Foulquier has played an outstanding game on him, but he has looked for space inside and has scored two very important goals,” he stated, while that considered the tie good.
“It was a very complicated match. As I said with the other draws, we have to continue like this. A draw here in Valencia can be an important point. We have to cool down a little, the locker room is a little hot. To cool down, just look at the table “We’re going to sleep well tonight. We played very poorly in the first half, but in the end we could win. I’ll stay halfway,” he concluded.
