Carlo Ancelotti admitted his side struggled against Real Sociedad but was pleased with their first win of the season.
“It was a very complicated match, maybe we didn’t deserve to win. La Real pressed us hard, they pressed hard in our field. “We persevered with sacrifice and commitment, something that is not easy to find in a squad of that quality,” said the Real Madrid coach.
“It seems clear that we are not 100%. We are missing almost all the midfielders so it is difficult to find the balance. Valverde, Modric and Güler did a great defensive job and I appreciate it a lot,” added Ancelotti.
“Individually the players are getting better and better. We are happy because it is important to start this round of matches with a victory. I am leaving satisfied but we have to make the necessary criticism,” said the Italian coach in a press conference, satisfied with Kylian Mbappé’s performance.
“I see him fresher, more active. It’s very dangerous. He combines well with Vini and the other forwards. “He is improving a lot, I really liked his game,” said Ancelotti, who did not want to comment on the Brazilian’s behavior, ordering the crowd to be quiet. “I don’t think about that, I keep it to myself.
