Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, acknowledged in a press conference, after not getting past Thursday’s draw against UD Las Palmasthat “the team is unbalanced. There was a lack of circulation and recovery of the ball, as happened in Majorca”.
The Italian, however, made that clear “We will search and find a solution quickly. It was difficult for us to have solidity last season. “There’s no need to find an excuse because the calendar is tight.”
Ancelotti did not hesitate to make a self-criticism. “I have to be clearer in the strategy to give clarity to the players. “It cost a lot more than we thought,” he said.
Asked if his team lacked concentration, the Italian hinted that “The game is slow and there is no mobility. The ball reaches the forward when the opposing defenses are closed. The team is not compact,” he lamented.
Carletto pointed that out “I have to find the solution, not the players. The responsibility is the coach, that the team plays again and is strong.” And he elaborated on it. “In the middle block we are not compact and there is a lot of distance between the lines. We have to be more solid and recover the ball,” he stressed.
The Italian denied there was mental fatigue in his team. “That’s not the problem. The players are training well and I don’t see any lack of character or attitude.” Finally he reiterated that no more signatures were forthcoming: “The template is closed”, he judged.
