Ancelotti: Real Madrid is lucky with this player, and we lacked balance

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference following the victory over Celta Vigo 2-1 in the tenth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said: “It was A competitive match, really difficult. The advantage we have is that we competed well until the end. We could have played better, but the team was committed.”

He added: “We lacked balance at the beginning and the goal we conceded could have been avoided. We have to be more attentive, especially in the negatives.”

He stressed: “We achieved three important points.” Thanks to a wonderful pass from Modric. He always contributes and helps, whether as a starter or as a substitute. His quality is very important. “I changed the control of the game and that was very important.”

He continued: “Modric is a great footballer and he still is. He is not a child. He is He is an exceptional professional and works very well. He is a very calm man with a personality and Real Madrid is fortunate to have a player like him. It is an honor to coach him and work with him.”

Bean said. "The playing system? Bellingham's position has changed. The idea was to play with him more from the second line on the right wing because Celta had suffered in previous matches from balls at the far post. I really liked Bellingham."

He added: “Tshwamini was with the ball between the two centre-backs and we had a problem with balance in the first half because without the ball he had to move forward and there the matter became a bit unclear. In the second half we changed a little and Tshwamini was more on the ball.” On the right, what we did not work on was the loss of the ball by the opponent, as Tshwamini moved forward and the center backs remained behind. There we suffer. With a different drawing from the opposing team, you can play with the pivot in front of the two centre-backs.”

He concluded: “Bellingham was angry with Vinicius? Bellingham is contributing with us. I did not see what happened between him and Vinicius, but he has courage and character. After the match I saw them talking and laughing. “I don't think there will be any problems.”
