Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the press room at the Santiago Bernabéu to analyze Real Madrid-Osasuna, corresponding to the 13th day of La Liga: “The match was good. We started with good control, without being too hasty, and when we opened the score with Vinicius, the match went well The team showed a good image, with more attitude and involvement The problem are the three injuries in the first half, which we are currently evaluating.
“The team had a better defensive attitude, we were orderly, without taking risks and with good collective involvement. That’s what made the difference in the match.”
The hug with Vinicius
“For us, Vinicius is a player who makes the difference. He did it again today like so many other times. The Ballon d’Or gala is a small detail that did not affect him. They often come to the bench to celebrate. Vinicius is a player who is making and will continue to make a difference. He is a very important player for us.
The beginnings of Asencio
“Raúl played very well, with personality and he delivered the decisive pass for the second goal. It was a nice surprise and we must highlight the work done with him at the training center, especially Raúl with Castilla. He’s a player we need right now.”
Players trained at the club
“We are evaluating right-backs like Foerta, Loren or Melvin. They are players who are not yet ready, but who can be part of the team like Raúl (Asencio) did today. It’s unfortunate that central players like Jacobo or Joan Martínez are injured Raúl was very good with Castilla and he will be so with us from now on.
The calendar requirement
“Three injuries in the first half is quite rare. The demands of the schedule do not allow players to rest and be fresh. The risk of injury is very high. It is something general, not just with us.”
Bellingham’s goal
“It feels good for him to score, but it’s a small detail of a good defensive and offensive game. He also had quality, ideas and continuity.”
Mbappé’s match
“He tried tonight, he made some good combinations. He hasn’t scored in the last few games but he will sooner or later. Vinicius and Bellingham scored today, but maybe it will be him in the next match”.
The winter transfer window
“We will make an evaluation in the coming months because it is of no use at the moment. We must try to recover as many players as possible and we will see what we can do. I am not thinking about the transfer window because we have matches until the Christmas break. I have to prepare for the matches with the players that I have. Valverde played at fullback today and he was also good. last year and we will also be this year”.
