He Real Madrid play tomorrow against him Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and on Saturday they host Barcelona in it Bernabeu. Two games at home and at the highest level. The first, the same rival as the final. “It is an intense team that plays well, with individual quality, a demanding opponent,” he said. Carlo Ancelotti.
He Real Madrid has played 13 games this year, winning one, losing another and drawing the rest.: “We are not one hundred percent, we have gotten results, but we have to improve the level of play and little by little we will do it. A round-trip match is good for us, we have more difficulties for a control match, because we do not have players for small spaces. We are focused on defending better, as we did well last year. The team is less solid and we are working on that“.
Ancelotti has spoken about Bellingham: “We are satisfied with his work, he competes, he fights, he sacrifices, but the surprise was last year. The problem this year is not Bellingham’s goals. We are always going to score, but for us it is much more “The work he is doing is important than last year’s goals. He is going to play on the right wing, which is more exposed, but with Bellingham we can be more effective.”
In Vigo, the Real Madrid jplayed with three centre-backs: “They were with the ball, but without the ball, it had to be with four defenders, as we have always done and always will do. Maybe, in some games, at the end, when you are winning. We have to retreat more defense. Things have to be worked on because sometimes they are forgotten. Tchouameni It’s important because he recovers a lot of balls.”
For the coach Real Madridthe footballers are still not one hundred percent. “We have to work more compactly as a team, sometimes the automation is missing, like when we have the middle block, we lose solidity.”
“I prefer that Mbappé score goals before pressing,” Carlo Ancelotti answered when asked if the Real Madrid striker has to press like the rest of the team.
He has said of Modric that “he is a unique player, with spectacular experience, in his handling of the ball, his position, the timing of the matches and he is helping us a lot in this sense, whether he starts or not.”
