“Mistakes are corrected by working. The match against Valencia already left us with a bad conclusion in the defensive aspect and today we showed the same flaws,” acknowledged the Madrid coach, self-critical of his team
Carlo Ancelotti did not put on warm clothes after Real Madrid’s heavy defeat against Barça in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. White’s disappointing performance against their perennial rival with a trophy on the line failed in any way to convince the Italian coach, who chose self-criticism as a way to remedy his team’s many shortcomings in Riyadh.
“We have to learn. It’s a difficult time, but that’s all. It was known before the game that the team was not at its best, we were not doing well, but we will definitely return “, began the transalpine coach convinced, despite adversity, that his team will return on its own before the decisive stretch of the season.
“The moment of the team is not good. We have to persevere because this team has the quality to come back and be competitive in all competitions. There are many titles to play for and we will fight to the end,” he made an impact in this regard by standing up for his players, who made mistakes against Barca in a performance that did not befit their quality.
«Mistakes are corrected by working, the match against Valencia already left us with a bad conclusion defensively and today we showed the same shortcomings. We can’t get the ball out, they caught us twice on the counterattack and the game has changed since then. It hasn’t been a lack of attitude, just individual mistakes,” he continued.
«The team has not been very intense, not very successful, not very powerful one on one… We lost 28 balls in the first half and we lost a lot of duels. It has been an incomplete game in every way,” he said, highly critical of the disappointing version of Madrid, who have amassed three winless games and failed to convince in any of their five official matches since club football’s return after the World Cup. Cup break.
However, after being told of the mistakes made, Carletto chose to look ahead and focus positively on things to come as Real Madrid will play their future in the Copa del Rey on Thursday with a complicated visit to Villarreal in the 16th round of the KO tournament. and will later travel to Bilbao to face Athletic in the League, in another tough game for the Whites. “To label this as sports humiliation seems disrespectful to me. We also played better in the league, they were better today, period,” he said. “It’s not a critical moment, but it’s complicated, difficult as it usually happens in every season,” he noted.
