Press conferences of Real Madrid vs. villarreal of the competition
“When you set the plan, you always aim for things to turn out the way you want. The most important thing is that we scored the three points, which allows us to get closer to the top positions and keep the rhythm. Also the sensations, which sometimes more important than the result. The reality is we played a great game, despite starting with inaccuracies. It took us 10/15 minutes to get the game where we wanted”.
“Samu played a very complete, extraordinary game today. Not only the two goals he scored, the defensive aids he makes, the threats he has with the ball that fix the opponent… the reality is that he has a boy who was a great footballer before we arrived and now he is in a great moment of inspiration. Not only is he a great footballer, he is a man who really wants to improve and who works hard to achieve what he achieves”.
“No, we didn’t change the plan at half-time. It’s not easy to get here. Your beliefs aren’t easy to transfer to the players if the results aren’t good, but we do better every time and that’s Good.” a source of pride for me. The reward is games like this.”
“I wasn’t too worried about who was playing. Madrid has extraordinary footballers with a point of quality and precision in the execution of their actions. The plan would have been the same and the game would certainly have been similar. Today we brought in a more midfielder, we wanted to control the game.”
“I was quite outraged in that part because we saw on the tablet that Tchouaméni hit Samu’s shin with the studs. I think he should have at least visited her with the VAR. I was furious. On the pitch he could have done that doing.” got a different impression, but the image was to go and see. I don’t know what they told him about the VAR.”
Ancelotti, in press conference
there has been no balance. “It has been difficult for us to get the ball back. We were not balanced. This is why we conceded three goals. It must also be said that Villarreal handles the ball well. We were ahead twice on the scoreboard. but we couldn’t score the third and we lost the game”.
Tchouameni. “All players have had a lower level than usual. Motivation was not easy and it was a game that required high motivation.”
Facing the Champions League. “No, it is a defeat that does not change our mood. Wednesday’s game will be completely different. Compared to last season, we have lowered our level in LaLiga.”
The referee. “I think the defeat is not deserved, even if we didn’t play the way we should have played. Those who don’t normally play continuously could have done better. We had a lot of chances and we lacked balance. The repeated offense is a yellow card, after nine offenses you can’t get a yellow card. That seemed too much to me”.
Which is most worrying. “The lack of balance. You could be more powerful both individually and individually. Wednesday’s game is a whole different story.”
Eleven on Wednesday. “Yes, it could be the one at Camp Nou. Today I changed because the wear and tear against Barcelona has asked a lot of us. We thought that refreshing the team could be a good solution, but it didn’t go well We’re already thinking about Wednesday.”
Energy. “Preparing for a match between two sides that are much more important is very complicated.”
put your arms down. “This is not going to happen. We have ten games and we will fight to get as many points as possible.”
four attackers. “Balance is very important, but sometimes you set up a game in such a way that there is not much balance. You have to consider the pros and cons. We wanted to play an open game, but today it was much more complicated than against Valladolid. ” because it gave us a lot to get the ball back. If I put the four attackers in, it’s because I don’t think balance is the most important thing.”
