Ancelotti: Vinicius did not deserve to be sent off, and we deserved to win

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference, after defeating Valencia by two goals to one, in the postponed match of the twelfth round of La Liga.

He said Coach: “The team was able to respond to the difficulty of the expulsion, as well as to the missed penalty kick and the disallowed goal. It is difficult to explain how bad our performance was in the first half and how good we played in the second half.”

He added: “It was three points Deserved, but we cannot show these two sides: the first half was very bad, with poor balance, and the second half was very good with ten players.”

He continued: “I congratulated The players are in the locker room and I told them what I just told you. It was a very bad first half and a very good second half. After the goal, we started playing and the second half was very good, with ten players. With all the difficulties, it is a well-deserved victory

He stressed: “ Vinicius sent off? We thought that Vinicius and the Valencia goalkeeper deserved a yellow card for us, for each player, and they gave the red card to Vinicius Junior. We will appeal against this card, and I do not know whether they will accept it or not. There was a touch from Dimitrievski and then a push from Vinicius, and the two cautions were enough and it was over. The command. I don't want to say he fell into the trap."

And he explained:" Vinnie Jr. suffered. In the first half he played more outside and tried to play his game. Sometimes it's good and sometimes a little less so. I hope he can play in the next match because he is still a crucial player for us.”

Regarding Bellingham’s missed penalty kick: “Dmitrievsky did not have his foot on the goal line. But since he did not touch the ball, there is no need to repeat the penalty kick. They thought it was not interfered with, so they did not order it to be returned. It bothers me that we missed three penalty kicks, and I think I must bear the responsibility of determining who He will do it.”

And Noah: “Bellingham played a great match. The missed penalty kick gave him extra motivation and he had a final half hour and he was the only one who knew how to do it. He worked and helped Mbappé up front. The goal was a reward for the match he played.”

He concluded: “Camavinga’s participation? Mendy played his game and since Vinny Junior was sent off, we were Need a player like Camavinga to play More inside. Mendy, in my opinion, played a good match.”
