Matchday 24
“We have had some bad luck, because we have shot twice at the crossbar, several stops…”, lamented the Italian coach after Madrid’s draw against Villarreal
Ancelotti did not leave the duel between Villarreal and Real Madrid completely satisfied, but not angry either. The point, which allows him to maintain a four-point advantage over Sevilla at the top of the table, could well have been a victory in the event of a more successful dose of his team, dominated in the first half but better than the ‘Submarino’ in the second. «I leave more satisfied than sad. We had many opportunities in the second half, Villarreal was better in the first. In the first part we have not been aggressive in the duels, but in the second we have stolen many more balls and we have been vertical”, valued the Italian coach.
“We have had some bad luck, because we have shot twice at the crossbar, several saves hand in hand… We have lacked a bit of success in recent games but what would really worry me is that we did not create chances, “he added in relation to his analysis of the match, in the run-up to the big duel against PSG at the Parc des Princes next Tuesday.
«Bale has had the opportunity and he has complied, we have asked him for several things and he has done well. He has had a couple of opportunities. He had a major muscle injury when he started playing and then it was difficult for him to get back in shape, but he has shown that he is committed », he remarked about the performance of the Welshman, who returned to wear the white jersey several months later.
