“Don Carlo” believes that the formation it prepares has failed to react from a collective point of view, based excessively on individual achievements, being rapidly taxed by “tunari”. He believes that, although the start of the party was a promising one, the reaction after the first goal signed by Rice from the free kick was non -existent, a recurrent problem this season, as Ancelotti himself admits.
However, he does not exclude a “remontada” in Madrid, invoking the context of the last years, when “Los Blancos” managed, on several occasions, the impossible, reminiscent that anything is possible in football, especially on “Bernabeu”
How was the history of this evening write? Rice managed a “Doppietta” sensation from two freely executed strokes, and Mikel Merino closed the table at 3-0 in the 75th minute. All the “tuna” goals occurred in the second bribe, when Real cleared.
Carlo Ancelotti: “The team's reaction after the goal was weak”
“We were unable to answer as a team. We tried to impose ourselves by individual actions, but we were punished and we lost control. The opponents performed a better game, and the result is a disappointing one. When the score was still 0-0, I was satisfied, But the team's reaction after I received a goal was weak.
It is a chapter that I suffered all the season. We tried to keep a compact settlement, and that gave us some good times, just as we had many weak moments today. We must be honest in self -criticism and the intrinsic evaluation we do.
I did not look bad in most of the match, there were things I did very well in the first half. I had the opportunity to increase the rhythm, but things did not go properly in the second.
If you think of the game tonight, there is no chance of “Remontada” in returnbut anything can happen in football. We have to believe, to trust our own strengths – it has happened many times on Bernabeu, “said Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the match.
