Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid expressed his joy after his team’s 2-1 victory over Shakhtar in their Champions League encounter on Wednesday night at the “Santiago Bernabeu” in the third round of Group F for the current season 2022-2023.
In his post-game press conference, Carlo Ancelotti stated: “We played really well, but even though we had many shots on goal, we didn’t score a lot.
Playing comfortably and in the end we got it. It’s games that can get complex at times, but in the end we controlled them well and the pressure was good, we pressed hard not to let them in.
Added Ancelotti, “Rodrygo? The goal was only to somewhat pressure the central defenders. They typically have great ball handling skills. We used several defences.
“Rodrygo can play wherever, thus Ancelotti said: “We were at 4-4-2 in several matches. His mentality was a change of defence with more pressure.
“the last 16? Next week, we should put this group behind us so that we can concentrate on the league, in my opinion “Ancelotti was agitated.
Shakhtar versus Real
Carlo Ancelotti went on to say: “He perceives a 2-0 victory as an easy one; this is common for some people. However, I am pleased with the team’s performance. The front three worked effectively together.
Valverde was a big assist. The ball was well-handled by Chuamini and Kroos. Good. I’m unconcerned. Although important, intensity cannot always be achieved.
We reduced the intensity, Ancelotti continued. Since the game wasn’t over yet, we felt secure, and I chatted with the players at halftime. That is entirely typical to occur. We were performing admirably, and things started out smoothly, but these were risky games; you were getting ahead of yourself, but you could adjust. We just had one opportunity.
”
Ancelotti continued: “I am happy because I believe we played really well, worked well together up front, and applied more pressure. We had numerous opportunities, but we fell short. Having opportunities is crucial.” Rodrygo merely suffers muscle cramping, according to Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti declared: “When was Rodrygo at his best? I believe so since he arrived. He is making excellent progress and is becoming more certain and determined.
He ought to be given more playing time, and the reason he is is due of his contribution throughout the entire season. After speaking, Carlo Ancelotti said, “Benzema played extremely well; he was decisive in attack.”
Ancelotti discusses the Merengue double, and Rodrygo had a standout performance for Real Madrid against Shakhtar.
