Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, promised to have a “very long night” after the new defeat in the Champions League against AC Milan (1-3) on Tuesday. He deplores a lack of unity and sacrifice from his team.
“It’s going to be a long night,” admitted Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti after his team’s defeat against AC Milan on Tuesday (3-1) in the Champions League, but it will be, according to him, for the better.
“We are not good”
“The reality is that on the pitch we are missing something, we are incapable of giving our best version, so we have to resolve that. There is concern, it’s normal, the night is going to be very long, because we all have to think about how to improve things and regain the solidity we have had for so long. We concede too many goals for a team like ours, which has built its strength on defensive solidity. , estimated Ancelotti at a press conference.
“We are suffering a lot at the moment, and when we suffer we unite more, as I said, it’s going to be a long night, but it’s a good thing,” he added. The Madrid coach says he is “aware of reality”: “We are not good, we are not capable of producing effective collective work”, he regrets, saying he accepts the criticism.
“We have to defend better, because that’s the key. We have to look for solutions to have a more solid team. (…) We have to improve tactically, it’s not an individual problem, but a question of sacrifice, concentration and collective work,” he explained.
“We have confidence, the team will improve and will be competitive in all competitions, as we have always done. Every year there are difficult moments, what is not normal is that this team has fallen very quickly in the last few games. Now the good thing about football is that we can respond very quickly too. We have another home game very soon to try and get back to our team from last year. “, concluded the Italian.
