Carlo Ancelotti’s statements at a press conference

Ancelotti on the game plan : “We have to face reality: they scored very easily and we weren’t able to work at a collective or individual level because we lost a lot of duels, but that’s football. We are sad and disappointed and that is the sadness of our supporters, but we have to look to the future because there is another challenge ahead. We need to get back on track.”

About Lucas and Tchouaméni : “I don’t want to name anyone. I’m talking about the team and we didn’t defend well in the middle and we weren’t compact. We need to defend better.”

About the positive things to remember about the meeting : “I can’t take anything away from Mbappé’s game. He made some very good moves and scored a goal. We must forget the rest and move forward. »
