February 22nd. Real Madrid coach Ancelotti attended the post -match press conference with Liverpool
Historically achieved a great victory of Anfield:
Yes, this game is not easy, especially considering the opening situation, but we did not lose confidence, and then slowly started to control the ball.
Our in the frontcourt is very high, and Veninus performs great.
In the first round, our results are good, but now we need to keep calm, and the second round will be very difficult, just like today.
When Real Madrid was forced to grab Liverpool’s high position, two goals were lost 15 minutes early. What did you think at that time?
At that time, I thought of the first round of the Champions League with Manchester City last season. It also lost the ball early. Of course, we made progress today. At that time, we lost two in 10 minutes. Today is 15 minutes.
We didn’t expect to lose two goals when we came up, but we knew that the game was definitely not easy to play.
At that time, I wanted to reproduce the final result, and in the end we did it and even did better.
Our team did not get out of control. Everyone slowly recovered the control of the game, broke the goal early, and created a lot of opportunities.
The veteran played a great role in this regard. Benzema, Modric, and Cross who did not appear, all provided great help for the team.
Our defense has also been adjusted. Liverpool made a lot of killing in the first half, because Henderson was often here, and we encountered some problems.
But in the second half, we let Balweds enter the left, bringing more energy, which is important for us.
You said before the game, you won’t hesitate to let Rodrigo kick the right road, it seems that your choice is not wrong:
Yes, although Rodrigo has not scored today, his performance is great. He constantly runs to help teammates. It is very important for us to have such a striker. He also performs great.
Is it stable for promotion?
No, we encountered some problems in the first half, Liverpool made a lot of pressure on us.
The game is very good, and the results are satisfied, but now we need to prepare for the second round.
After last year’s UEFA Champions League final, everyone did not expect that today’s game in Anfield will become like this:
Yes, our formation today is completely different from the finals. Today’s game is even more open, because this is a knockout match. We hope to score goals on the away game.
Great.
It seems that after this game, Real Madrid now has the Champions League championship this season:
We just got the advantage in the first round, but there were next rounds in Madrid.
Liverpool is still a very competitive team, because the opponent has created a lot of problems for us. We need to prepare for the second round and the game has not ended.
Is this the most important and exciting away victory in Real Madrid, or even the coaching career?
There is no doubt that it is difficult to win in Anfield, especially if it is winning a great victory.
We are very satisfied with this result. The team shows a great state. After the difficult January, the team began to enter the best state in February. We need this state, because for us, there is no rest and breathing.
Space.
Klopp said that Peninus is now a legend of Real Madrid. What do you think?
In my opinion, I think Winisus is the most decisive player now. No players can continue to create opportunities like him, goals continuously, assists, extraordinarily, and decide the winning defeat at the most important moment.
I hope he can continue this.
What is the most important thing to reverse?
How to keep calm?
Is it experience?
then what?
It is confidence in their own strength. The team needs to clarify the skills and tactics, and continue to believe in their own skills and tactics, and persist.
How to evaluate Modric’s performance:
As always, in the most difficult game, he can always control the game well. At the most difficult moment, Modric is very critical to the team’s out of trouble.
