In the press conference after Real Madrid’s friendly victory against Manchester United on Thursday night, Madrid’s coach Carlo Ancelotti analyzed his team’s performance.
Real Madrid continues to succeed in their American expedition. After a first victory against AC Milan (3-2), the Merengues easily defeated Manchester United (2-0) on Thursday night. New signings Jude Bellingham and Joselu particularly stood out with exceptional goals. After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti analyzed his players’ performance.
“It was a good match. The first half was very intense. We defended much better than in the first half. In the second half, we had more control. But I am satisfied,” explained the Italian tactician in the press conference, as relayed by Real France. The former PSG and Everton coach also commented on the two goals scored: “Bellingham has that quality. He arrived from the second line at the right moment, Rüdiger gave him a fantastic pass, and he scored. As for Joselu, it’s a goal that we don’t see often.”
Carlo Ancelotti also analyzed the new system he has been using with Real Madrid since the start of the pre-season. “It’s working well. I think Vinicius is adapting well. He likes to play a bit more inside, but I think he should also play outside from time to time. Rodrygo and Vinicius create a lot of danger with the ball. In transition, we can play directly. And Bellingham’s quality facilitates that. Today, he worked hard and adapted to the back four, in a 4-4-2 formation in defense,” he added. For their next match, Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona in a clasico that will be far from friendly.
