Carlo Ancelotticoach of Madridwas satisfied with the victory against Alaves and applauded his team’s performance in the second half after a very discreet first half. “It is difficult for us to enter the matches with the necessary intensity, it is a weakness but the important thing is to always have the commitment,” acknowledged the Italian coach. “In the first half we lacked quality up front, forcefulness, and moving the ball faster,” he criticized Ancelotti.
“The public evaluates and did not like the first part, yes the second. It is what they think and we agree. Nobody in the locker room was happy with the first part. It is difficult for us to enter, the only one that we started well was in Bilbao in the League with two goals from Karim. It is true that the rivals push in the first and go down in the second and we feel better”, he admitted.
“When the strikers score it’s a good sign, it’s important that all three have scored. That will help us to better prepare for the next games”, commented the Italian, who didn’t make any changes until after 80 minutes. “I was going to make changes but it came the goal of Asensio and besides, I was quite liking the team”, declared Ancelotti.
