Real Madrid “must react with force” on Thursday in the Copa del Rey against Celta Vigo after their defeat by their great rival FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (5-2), the coach stressed on Wednesday. merengue Carlo Ancelotti.
“This match is a good opportunity to bounce back after a poor performance on our part. We have to react strongly after the defeat the other day (…) It was a failed match, we were bad defensively on every line and we made too many mistakes. We have analyzed what happened and we must find solutions to prevent it from happening again,” the Italian technician said at a press conference.
Ancelotti admitted that his team had lacked “commitment at a collective level”, without wanting to point the finger at potential culprits, despite questions about the performance of French international Aurélien Tchouaméni, much criticized by the Spanish press after the Clasico last Sunday.
“We have a young squad, full of energy, quality and involved, even if we have not always been able to demonstrate it. I have confidence in this squad, we must not forget what this team was capable of doing a few months ago, by winning a European Cup,” assured the Madrid coach.
“We’ve won so many finals, it’s normal that there are times when you pay the bill. We paid dearly (against Barça), but it’s only one match. We are well positioned in all competitions and we will fight until the end, as always,” he said.
