“The team was not cohesive, especially in the first half, and Atletico took advantage of that,” the coach said.
Carlo spoke Ancelotti To the journalists after the match against Atletico Madrid, within the framework of the sixth round of LaLiga. The coach evaluated the match, saying: “We did not start well. We did not defend well, we were fragile in our area and we were not strong. When they went 2-0 up, they played the game they wanted to play, they defended very well and looked for quick transitions. They did a better job than us.” .
He added, “The plan changed because we started with 4-4-2, with… Modric As spears and attackers, Bellingham AndRodrigo. He didn’t play happy Because I wanted to control the ball more with another midfielder. Center has not changed Bellingham In attack. The problem was not related to who participated, but rather the defensive fragility that did not accompany us in the first matches. We conceded only three goals in the first six games we played, and they scored three goals in 45 minutes. We were fragile. We can say that without any problem. “It was not a good evening.”
The goals the team conceded initially
“It’s a topic we’ve talked about and we’ll continue to talk about it. It’s an important issue. In four matches, the opponents took an early lead and we were ahead of the table. We were about to pull off a comeback today, but the third goal, 3-1, decided the match. We played well at the end of the match, but it was 3-1.” “It was a result that was difficult to change.”
About defense
“I’m not talking about individuals. I’m just saying that we didn’t defend well. The team was not cohesive, especially in the first half and Atletico took advantage of that. The three goals were very similar. The players were not well positioned in the area, we were not cohesive in the three goals.” “.
Goal disallowed for Camavinga
“I didn’t see him. They told me that.” Rüdiger “He was offside, but I didn’t check it.”
Lack of effectiveness?
“Atletico is one of the teams that defends strongly, not only in Spain. It is an organized team and strong in confrontations. It is not easy to find spaces. We tried from outside the area and lacked some effectiveness. The problem was not in attack, but in defense.”
“He couldn’t,” he added Vinicius Of scoring in these three matches. He tried RodrigoIt was dangerous at some moments, but when the spaces are very narrow, things become more complicated. “We have lacked some effectiveness so far, but we won six matches by scoring goals.”
Choameni
“I tried to give more control in midfield to give… Choameni “He got some rest, because he played a lot of matches, taking into account his participation with the national team.”
Modric substitution
“We didn’t point it out to any player, I think it’s a reference Modric It’s exaggerated. He didn’t play well, like his teammates. Since we were behind, he tried to put tall players in attack to play a little more with the midfielders.”
If you could go back, would you change your style?
“That’s a good question. Maybe I could have done things better. That’s very clear. When the team doesn’t do what it should do, that’s my responsibility. But that’s no problem.”
Change the game plan
“Today we did not do well, but it is not a problem with the plan. The plan will not change. It is a defeat but an opportunity to do things better. We feel sad and angry, as is always the case when we lose. But so far we have performed very well and we continue to work well.” “
the responsibility
“It’s my responsibility.”
