Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has come out to defend his tactics following the club’s disappointing 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he knows the team still has a lot of improving to do, and his tactics for the recent loss was simply him trying to keep the team balanced.
Ancelotti added that every system has a weakness, but the loophole can be fixed ahead of the next game.
His words, “I have to be balanced, and fortunately that’s in my genes,”
“Putting everything in doubt when you’ve won six games out of seven seems a bit rash.”
“I hear a lot of things but I know exactly what we have to do and so do the players. We know what we need to improve, and we need to carry on doing what we’re doing well to this time, even if it didn’t work out against Atleti,”
“Every system has a weakness. It lets us press higher and be more energetic to recover the ball but sometimes we can be caught out from crosses because the midfielders don’t arrive to cover in time.”
“The weakness is evident but it can be fixed.”
