According to Tasnim news agency, Carlo Ancelotti, whose team suffered a 4-2 defeat against Girona last night (Tuesday) in the 31st week of the Spanish La Liga, said after the match: “Losing is never good, but maybe this loss can be a wake-up call for us.” . It was a difficult night, we were bad defensively and that was the main reason for our defeat in this match. We worked very well with the ball, but we were not convincing in defensive duels to stop Girona’s counterattacks. We have kept a clean sheet in six of our last seven games. In this game, however, we conceded four goals, because we did not commit to defense. When we have the commitment on the defensive line, we can win every game.
He added: “We thought that the break between the two halves could allow us to reset, but at the start of the second half, our goal was immediately opened again.” We tried to return to the game individually and not as a team. We were not a team in this match and individually, almost everyone was below their usual level except for a few exceptions. We apologize to the fans for this failure.
The Italian head coach of Real Madrid also said about the performance of his Brazilian winger in this match, who scored the first goal of the Galaxy in the 34th minute: Vinicius Jr. was good as a person with the goal he scored and the assist he made. However, considering his characteristics, he gets a lot of yellow cards.
In the end, Carlto mentioned about changing Nacho and sending Eduardo Camaviga to the field instead of him in the 52nd minute: Because Camavinga had different characteristics than Nacho, we made this change because Eduardo can help us more in the attacking work. This substitution was not a way to blame Nacho. It wasn’t his best game, but it can happen to many players.
Accepting this defeat, Real Madrid remained with 65 points and is still in the second place of the Spanish La Liga standings, and has a difference of 11 points with the leader Barcelona, who has played one game less.
