Real Madrid achieved it. The team from the capital of Spain beat Barcelona at home and established itself as the sole leader of La Liga. Now, Carlo Ancelotti's words after the game are going viral on social networks.
Ancelotti revealed how he motivated his players at halftime, when Real Madrid was losing 1-0 against Barcelona: That these games can be lost, but in a different way. With energy, motivation, desire. The players agreed, as seen in the second half.
After the match, the coach commented on what he expects from Jude Bellingham: "20-25 goals can come easily, because he has started very well. We don't consider him a scorer, but at the moment he is scoring a lot of goals. Although we expect many, too, from the forwards."
Although they won the match, the reality is that Real Madrid did not play well for the first 60 minutes. Now, Ancelotti revealed what the game plan was: "The approach was with Vinicius on the inside and Bellingham, pressing the side. But they changed and, to prevent Kroos from going after Gavi and leaving space between the lines, I asked Jude to cover that gap. We had some problems putting pressure on Íñigo Martínez, because we were a little afraid to go and we didn't always jump. And with the ball, very slow. We wasted a lot of time with back passes."
