Ancelotti’s first comment after losing to Real Mallorca
Ancelotti said in a press conference after the match: “I was the one who chose Asensio to take the penalty because the first player was Benzema and then Modric and they weren’t on the field, so Asensio, Rodrigo or Kroos come after them in order “.
As Ancelotti said of the Mallorca players who committed 29 errors in the match: “I have to study the errors a bit. Today the referee forgot about the repeated errors that were made. Just.”
And he continued: “Now the important thing is that we are going to the World Cup, which we want to win, and then we are fighting in the championship to the end, because it is not over yet and there are still many matches ahead.”
And added about Courtois’s condition: “Thibaut had a problem with a warm-up shot, so he didn’t play today.”
And he continued: “Kroos got a bruise against Valencia, so we chose not to start with him to avoid problems, and the same with Modric, and today we had a good match, especially in the first half.”
He added: “The defeat is painful but it was hard as we expected with a lot of mistakes and interference and it was decided by simple details like the quick goal we conceded and the penalty we conceded and now we have to think about the World Cup, which we will go to with great enthusiasm.”
And he concluded: “Everything that happens is not Vinicius’ fault. All he wants is to play football, and this atmosphere excites him, and we must shift the focus from him and see what happens to him.”
