Premier League: Declan Rice, Guardiola’s most expensive setback
Real Madrid is qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Del Rey against the Cacereño. So Carlo Ancelotti was very happy to speak at the post-match press conference. And the Italian coach praised the game of Rodrygo who gave the victory to his team and criticized the state of the pitch of Príncipe Felipe.
Rodrygo: “He played a fantastic game, the rest was an equal and competitive game. A lot of fights, a lot of long balls, we could not do otherwise, the team played well and I am satisfied, it was a game that we are not used to”.
Hazard: “I liked it, it is difficult to evaluate the players individually, it was impossible to play. We played a game that we are not used to. Small players like Hazard or Rodrygo suffer more, but he kept his word”.
The draw in danger: “At no time it was a competitive and balanced game, but our best individual quality was stopped by a field where we could not play the ball low”.
What he liked about his team: “I liked everything, from the first minute to the last, I knew we had to suffer, we didn’t risk anything at the back, the back line was good, clean sheet, everything was good”.
The pitch: “You can’t play soccer. For me, it’s not soccer, it’s another sport, nice because small teams can fight and compete with the big teams. It’s good for the fans, but the fans also want to see great games.
The game: “They played very well, they pressed high on the field, we didn’t have the opportunity to manage the ball well and we competed well.
