The head coach of Madrid’s “Real” Carlo Ancelotti criticized the team’s defense after the Spanish Super Cup final against “Barcelona” (2:5).
“The game was poor from the first to the last minute. We had a one-player advantage, and we couldn't create a single chance. I am disappointed with the entire game. We defended poorly, and “Barcelona” deserved to win. They were better than us.
I don't want to point fingers at anyone. We acted poorly in defense. The team was not compact. We need to defend better.
I am sad, as is everyone. It’s a normal feeling. I am disappointed, and there's no need to hide it. But it’s football. Sometimes you can win, and sometimes you have to learn from defeats. There is still a lot of the season left, and we must look forward,” – Ancelotti is quoted by the “Real” press service.
