“It was a good match because we were able to move around”

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Wednesday, after winning 3-0 in Elche, that his team’s match was “very good offensive” thanks to the “movement” of their attackers.

The coach justified his decision not to hold many courses “so as not to lower the level after the classic”. “The team was good and played with concentration,” said the coach, noting that Real Madrid are not just eleven players but also substitutes who go out and contribute to the team.

Ancelotti highlighted the contribution Marco Asensio Although, admittedly, he does not rely on it much. “I am confident because he has always been decisive and will have minutes in the future,” the Italian said, noting that his continuation in the team will be addressed after the World Cup.

The Real Madrid coach admitted that despite his team’s dominance, “the match did not close until the 60th minute, so it could get complicated.”

The coach also highlighted the contribution of goalkeeper Andrei Lunin, who said he “showed his level”. “Game after game is better because he will gather the experience he lacks,” he said.

Ancelotti saw the current moment as an “important moment of the season” and said his team was “good and solid” despite the injury problems he had.

“You have to seize the moment. I don’t have a specific idea of ​​eleven,” repeated the coach, who praised Uruguay’s Federer Valverde.

“I’m a bit surprised he does everything so well both defensively and offensively. If you think about a modern interior, it’s Valverde at the moment.”
