MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti recalled that his experience in the white box can help him “not to make mistakes” and know that LaLiga Santander still has a second round of “cheating”, while that he did praise his team after the victory (2-0) this Sunday over Atlético.
“I have a team that leaves me calm because I know what they do on the field. They handle the game very well, they have defensive commitment, they are a team. They are not just players with great quality. A team with such individual quality is capable of putting it together and to have the only objective, which is for Real Madrid to win the games, “he said at a press conference at the Bernabéu.
The white coach praised Modric in a special way while also highlighting a Vinicius who this time was an assistant to the two goals. “I have congratulated him on the game because he played an incredible game. I don’t know exactly what I said, but his game was spectacular. With the ball, without the ball, with continuity. Extraordinary,” he said.
“I like the team a lot on the defensive aspect. It is the aspect that we have improved the most since the beginning of the season. We are more solid. The pressure is not too high, but it is what we like, with a lower block you have the possibility to use the forwards for the counter, “he added.
Ancelotti did not want to get carried away despite the solid leadership of his team. “We are favorites today, it can be said, of course. We have done very well, better than others, but we are focused on the next matches because a mental loss can cost you dearly. We are doing well and we have to continue because it is the only way to get closer to winning as soon as possible, “he explained.
“I am very satisfied to be here. The first stage was very happy. In the second year we won 22 matches in a row and the second part of the season did not go well. I do not forget this, I am happy, but I know that in the second half of the season you can find traps. We have to avoid this and it may be that the experience of the first stage can help me not to make mistakes, “he added.
