Carlo Ancelotti spoke after Real's victory over Osasuna, a match in which no less than three of his players were injured in the first half.
Analysis of the match: “We started well, without rushing, but with more intensity and commitment. Then we scored the goals and the match was always under control.”
Militao, Rodrygo and Lucas injured: “They are still being evaluated, we will see soon.”
Vinicius and the Ballon d’Or votes: “For us, he is the one who makes the difference. The Ballon d'Or is a small detail, he was not affected given what we saw today.”
No goals scored by Mbappé: “He tried, he made some very good combinations. Sooner or later he will score, without a doubt.”
Asencio: “He played very well, it's a nice surprise. We have to thank Raúl for the work he did with him. We need him at the moment.”
A door opens for certain young people at the full-back position, like Fortea: “We are evaluating Fortea, it's possible. There are good central defenders in the youth team, like Jacobo and Joan, but unfortunately they are injured. Now Asencio will be with us.”
Bellingham : “This goal will do him good, it’s a small detail, in addition to the fact that he was very good in attack and defense.”
More options to go to the transfer window or not: “We will evaluate it in the coming months, the only thing we can do is get as many players back as possible. We will see in January.”
If he is thinking more about young people or the transfer window: “I am not thinking about signings because we have to prepare for the matches with the players we have. Today Asencio made a good contribution. We did well last year and we will do it this too year.”
Have you ever seen so many injured people? “Three in the first half is quite rare. The demands of this schedule do not allow the players to get enough rest, they arrive with less rest for the matches. It's a general problem, not just for us .”
