What did Ancelotti say at the press conference after the match against "Atletico"?

Real Madrid, led by Carlo Ancelotti, advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League yesterday after a difficult match against Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti attended a press conference after the match against Atletico Madrid. He discussed various aspects of the match against the opponent in the post-match press conference.

Ancelotti first described Atletico's very strong defense and said that conceding a goal in the first minute of the game made it difficult for them.

The Italian expert answered the questions about Alvarez's penalty, the game, the goal in the first minutes and who will take the penalty as follows.

— Alvarez's penalty?
"Yes, it was very strange. He touched the ball twice: first with his right foot, then with his left foot."

- Analysis of the game?
"It was a difficult game. We conceded a goal in the first minute and the dynamics of the game changed. The opponent defended well and launched quick counterattacks. We had few chances and missed the penalty. It is very difficult to create clear-cut chances against Atletico - they defend well and destroy all chances."

- A goal in the first minute?
"I was afraid that we would not be able to control the game. It was important to maintain balance in order to launch quick attacks. In the second half, we played confidently on our own field and, as you saw, it led to a penalty.”

“We had doubts about taking the fifth penalty. We wanted Endrik to do it. But when I told him about it, I didn’t see much joy on his face. That’s why we chose Rudiger, who looks more confident and calm,” said the head coach of the “royal club”.

For information, the “cream-colored” team advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League with the victory over the “matraschi”. They will compete with the London club “Arsenal” in this stage. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
