On December 31, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the post-match press conference against Baradolid.
It seems that Baradolid has been protesting against today’s penalty kick and handball, and you are also protesting against Baradolid’s first handball. Do you think the standard of handball is clear now?
Yes, I can understand the current standard.
Then why are you still protesting the first handball?
Because I think the first handball is a penalty, while Pachita, the coach of Palladolid, thinks the second handball is not a penalty, I think this decision should be more accurate.
Today we saw that Asencio was inserting into the penalty area for a lot of time in the first half when Vinicius took the ball. Did you arrange this on purpose?
Yes, it was mainly Vinicius on the left, let him break through, and on the right was Asencio, or Carvajal and Valverde. We played well in the first half, but then we got out of control and didn’t decide the outcome until the end of the game.
Kamavenga came off the bench in the second half and then changed the trend of the game. do you think Camavenga is more suitable for substitute?
I think Kamavenga is always like this, he is full of energy and can change the trend of the game every time he comes off the bench, of course he is still young and needs to continue to improve and continue to learn, especially his position and sense of running and space in the game. But Kamavenga has always been important to us.
Two questions. First, is Kurtuva the best player for Real Madrid today? Second, why didn’t Azar get the chance today?
I think Kurtuva is crucial today, just like Benzema, but it is also the result of the efforts of the whole team. As for Azar, he will play in the next Kings Cup.
Benzema started for the first time since October. What do you think of his form?
I think it’s good. I thought Benzema was in good shape before today’s race, which is very important for today’s race. It’s important for him, this game is crucial to restore confidence and we will see a different Benzema in the second half of the season.
