Press conferences of Villarreal vs. Real Madrid of the Copa del Rey

Ancelotti, in press conference

“It looks like we’re back. But yes, the first half was bad and the second half was unexpected because it’s hard to change the dynamic when the team had a bad first half. But the team has character to change.” the dynamics. No, we can forget the first part, we need to improve, but the second part gives us a lot of confidence. We never gave up. The team has changed as you have changed your articles (laughs)”.

“Nothing happened to Pepe Reina. They were a bit annoyed with Vinicius, I told him to calm down. Rodrygo? At half-time he had a strained muscle and I didn’t want to risk it. Rodrygo did his homework”.

“Camavinga played with more energy and character in the second half. For me his mistake was not yellow, he played a complete game”.

“Take away the controversy with Vinicius and the Villarreal bank? I don’t know what they think, what I’ve seen is that Vinicius has been kicked a lot as always.”

“I was very angry at half-time. The fact that they took the lead very quickly has ensured that we have put the pressure on, but we have not been strong in the duels. I told the team to wake up in time goods.” I have the first part of this game and the second, the first has not been good. We must learn. We haven’t given up, but we can’t get close to the bottom to react, that’s not good.”

“I think Asensio and Ceballos have changed the dynamics of the game. They have brought a lot more dynamism and energy to the game. They have been decisive in changing the game.”

Quique Setien, at a press conference

“It’s true that things changed in the second half. We beat them in the first half, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid, they always made huge demands on you. If you lower the piston a little bit, you pass the pressure like in the first half and they’re such good players that when they come out of the pressure they hurt you we can’t keep up that demand and then there’s another facet that has judged us a little bit which are a few lost balls, it happened to us in the league too Madrid have very good players up there… it’s not easy to defend them during the 90 minutes we had a very good first half we even scored more goals can make… but you never have to give up on Real Madrid”.

“No one likes to lose. We could have come through the game perfectly, but football is uncertain, especially with teams like Villarreal or Real Madrid who can score at any time. Having those substitutions also affected us, although Jorge and Aissa were good, but we injured six players and we had to take two more off the field. It’s not an excuse, but they are important players.”

“The conversation with Vinicius? Nothing, things that are not important”.

“Albiol and Juan are players with a lot of experience and who can read the games very well. Jorge and Aissa have done a very good job, but we have seen Real Madrid players of a high level. Benzema, Vinicius… it’s not easy they defend neither with one nor with the other, but it is clear that experience is important”.

“With Juan Foyth we even considered not playing because he has a problem and Albiol also noticed a problem in the back. We’ll see what range it needs”.

“I don’t know if we’re going to recover any of those injured this weekend and we’ll see how the game affects us, but we’ll definitely play with eleven, that’s for sure. We’ll recover to a good level and always try to win the game.”

“We’re going to see if the departure of Danjuma and Nico Jackson is certified or not. It’s a position that’s going to be a bit lackluster. We only have Gerard and a boy from the subsidiary who can help us, but we’ve started to see what happens happens and the right decisions will be made.

“The improvement that Real Madrid have had in the second half is because very fresh, high-quality players came out and we were tired, and of course that has been noticed. We tried to push through at the front, but we blamed it. All of their players “They have great quality. If you don’t coordinate the pressure well, you suffer. Some of the losses we’ve suffered from fatigue, if you lose that precision, you suffer too. We gave them more space and with space they are very dangerous.”

“It is not easy from the bench to analyze all the controversial actions. They are decisions where I understand that the referee can be wrong. From the bench, it seemed to me that the push was clear (Militao). No matter what we think , this is no more who will change it.”

“Jörgensen is a footballer who had played with the team before. We gave him this chance on an important and difficult day and he fully lived up to it. He is our goalkeeper with Pepe and they will take turns depending on the criteria belonging to it.”
