Real Madrid wins 2 to 1 against Celta Vigo: Mbappé and Vinicius give the blancos the top spot while waiting for Barcelona’s match tomorrow evening, against Sevilla. At the end of the match, the Merengues coach, Carlo Ancelottispoke at the press conference.
Starting from the change in the game system, with the midfield in a diamond shape: “What we didn’t work on was the loss of the ball. We suffered at the beginning and we have to remedy this because the central defenders were very open and we lost the ball at the center. We can play as always, with a pivot, or something like that with Tchouaméni among the central defenders.”
The coach is then asked about a Bellingham who appeared angry with Vinicius: “I haven’t seen Vinicius’ complaints. It seems like a good thing to me, it shows character, that he has balls. I saw them talking to each other. I don’t think they have problems”
Then on Bellingham’s position: “Bellingham’s position has changed. The idea was to enter with him in the second line. I liked it a lot. He was attentive. Tchouaméni played between the midfield and the defense and there we had a problem of balance in the first half, I made a mistake in not explaining clearly to the players what they had to do.”
Finally on Modric: “Luka always gives his contribution. He has such great quality that he always helps us and has been very important. He is a fantastic footballer. He is not a child, but he is an extraordinary professional. He is lucky for Real Madrid have this player.”
