Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the media with relief after Real Madrid certified another comeback that could be worth a League and with enormous satisfaction for the work done by his players. These are the impressions of the Italian coach.
Who is the ‘fault’ of the comeback? “On the quality of the players. We have not lost our heads, corrected the mistakes we were making, because we were not well placed and they hunted us down with changes of direction. In the first half we seemed tired and, however, the intensity of the second It has been spectacular. In football there are sometimes things that are difficult to understand, such as the evaluation of Diego Carlos’ hand. Difficult things to understand. This team does not surprise me, but what happened in the second half makes me very proud. I want to thank all the players.”
Controversial hand of Vinicius: “It didn’t seem like it to me live. And he was very sure that he hadn’t touched the ball with his hand. It’s difficult, but it seemed pretty clear to me”.
Posible roja a Camavinga: “It seemed to me that he had touched the ball, but I don’t want to go in. I have told him what I had to tell him.”
Rodrygo… Better revulsive than starter? “That’s what the statistics say. He’s going to be a great player and he’s made the difference many times. He can make the difference starting or coming off the bench.”
sensations: “It was a very important victory. The first part was not good but the second part was spectacular. We seemed tired and on the contrary, we had a very strong reaction, with personality and commitment”.
Subscribers to comebacks: “This team is capable of doing special things. As I told you, we started badly and went 2-0 up, but we didn’t lose confidence, because the games with PSG and Chelsea have convinced us that if you believe, you can. We’ve done it. Also with a lot of trouble, because we don’t understand how Vinicius’s hand can whistle and not Diego Carlos’s. It’s difficult to referee, but I don’t understand it”.
More controversial: “Vinicius has guaranteed me that he has not touched the ball with his hand. If he manages to get Camavinga the red, we already have it complete”
Effusive celebration at Benzema’s goal: “It’s because of the way we came back. Everyone is waiting for Real Madrid’s puncture, but Real Madrid doesn’t puncture, because we have heart and character. LaLiga isn’t finished, but we’ve given a boost”.
