Ancelotti: Maybe we don't deserve to win, and that's the case with Diaz and Militao

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference, after beating Sociedad 2-0 in the fifth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said: “It was A complicated match. We may not have deserved to win because Sociedad played poorly, but we endured and suffered. I appreciate the sacrifice and commitment a lot today. I am satisfied with the match, and I am happy with the three points, but we will see what can be improved. We will evaluate the things we did not do well.”

He added: “We were not good at passing the ball between the players, as Sociedad put pressure on us well in the middle of our field and we were not always able to find the free player.”

He continued: “Militao is not injured, and he is in good condition. Ibrahim Diaz is suffering from something in the connective muscle and will undergo more tests in the morning.”

He stated: “We can rely on the principle of rotation in the upcoming matches. Today we suffered from the absence of midfielders, and we were in a state of emergency, and we will be able to rely on rotation soon.”

Regarding the penalty kicks between Vinicius and Mbappe: “They bear responsibility for executing the penalty kicks and things have gone very well so far.”

He stressed: “We are not at our best level yet, but the players are improving little by little. It is difficult to find balance when you are missing many midfielders. I really appreciated Brahim Diaz's performance today.”

He noted: “Mbappe played well today, and he was more energetic today. He is very dangerous and cooperates well with Vinicius and the strikers. I really like the way he plays.”

He concluded about Vinicius’ celebration and the second penalty kick: “I prefer not to comment, and I did not see the second penalty kick,” but it is certain that the referee watched it carefully. Better at VAR and it didn't take long to calculate it."
