Agencies – Sudan Events
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with the performance of his players despite the 1-1 draw in the derby against Atletico Madrid, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, on Sunday evening, in the 23rd round of La Liga.
“We had bad luck to concede a goal in the last minute. We lacked the height to face the Atletico Madrid players.” Ancelotti said during the press conference after the match.
“We knew that we would suffer from free kicks and crosses, so we put pressure on the full-backs to prevent them from sending crosses, and Carvajal did a very good job (in the center of defense position).” He added, according to what was reported by the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”
“We deserved to win the derby without a doubt. We played a good match and controlled the game. The team must be calm, and I have confidence that we will win the League. Everyone contributes and has talent.” He continued.
“When you have a team with a lot of quality and commitment, success is easy. We are still in the lead, and against Girona (next round) we have a chance to continue to lead.” He continued.
“We must not look back, but rather forward. I do not know the reasons for the referee’s decision, and I will not comment.” He commented.
Real Madrid has faced many accusations recently from Barcelona of influencing refereeing “Real Madrid influences the referees week after week, and falsifies the competition. The referees are affected, and everyone is watching this matter.” Barca coach Xavi said.
“Vinicius suffered a neck injury and did not feel comfortable during the warm-up, and Rudiger also felt uncomfortable. We hope that the duo will recover before next Saturday’s match.” Ancelotti continued his statements.
“The team gave everything, and we must remain calm, despite the many absences.” He concluded.
With this draw, Real Madrid raised its score to 58 points at the top of La Liga, two points ahead of second place Girona, while Atletico raised its score to 48 points in fourth place.
