Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with the hard-fought victory at Balaídos but did not hide his anger at the choice of the penalty taker. Rodrygo took the responsibility but the choice was Modric, as confirmed by Carletto. “There was no freedom to choose a pitcher. The manager was Vinicius but he was not on the field and Luka should have thrown it. It bothered me a bit. I warned Valverde that Modric had to throw it but there was a lack of time. and communication. In next days I will think about it”, said the Italian coach.
“The attack is well covered. I thought about putting Brahim in but I wanted to keep the balance to avoid surprises. We keep winning without Karim, without Courtois, without Militao and without Vinicius. That means that the squad is well made”, commented Ancelotti, who ruled out a major injury to Vinicius.
“He felt discomfort in his muscle. It’s a shame because he started the game very well. He wanted to continue, he tried but we preferred not to risk it. It’s a pity and I think he won’t play against Getafe and will take advantage of the rest to recover “, declared the Reggiolo coach, who was pleased with Bellingham.
“His best virtue is not the goal, it is the quality, his mobility, his way of throwing markers. He continues to contribute and play very well,” Ancelotti closed.
