“Asencio was affected, nobody likes to be shouted, ‘move'” “

The Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, explained Wednesday that Raúl Asencio’s change replied that the player “was affected” after the Royal Society in the Copa del Rey part of the tier singed ‘Asencio, “move'”, something that “nobody likes”, although he defended that the arbitrator of the match has “acted well” applying the protocol.

“He has acted well, Vinícius has spoken with the referee, the referee has stopped the game and applied the protocol, it is what he had to do and I think he has done well, everything has gone well. I have removed it because the player had two things: he was affected and had yellow,” said the Italian after the triumph over the Royal Society in the first leg of the semifinals of Cup by 0-1.

The collegiate of the meeting, Sánchez Martínez, stopped the match before the break because supposedly from the stands the song of ‘Asencio was sung, move’ against Raúl Asencio, applying the protocol against offensive chants, and after this, Ancelotti preferred to change the player.

“Nobody likes that a stadium shouts ‘Muérete’, so he is affected. He was not happy, I have preferred to take it out because it could be that his feeling could affect him in the game,” explained the Madrid team coach.

In the sports field, Ancelotti stressed that his team “is very good”, despite the rotations. “The team has maintained solidity, it has been very compact, it has played a very good game at the defensive, very supportive level,” he praised, “satisfied” in the defensive, after an “intense” match against a rival “that has given everything.”

“We have had opportunities in the second part, the Royal Society has also pushed. It has been a good game because this is always a difficult field. In the lap that we have to play at the same level, but I think the team has fulfilled,” he said.

The goal of the triumph was Endrick, which “has contributed a lot” this Wednesday, with a bit after “a fantastic uncheck.” “It is not easy for a boy who plays so little to score. He has a lot of success with the goal, it is very fast, it is very powerful. He still needs to handle the ball better, but in the uncheck, in the shot he is a spectacular player. Very young, but he learns very fast,” he said.

The Italian revealed that Dani Ceballos finished the game with “a muscular problem” for which tests will be tested tomorrow, but Real Madrid loses a midfielder that has a “very good management of possession.” “The others have other characteristics, but we also have Luka Modric that is similar to Ceballos in this regard. Bellingham is also playing very well and has helped a lot in the handling of the ball. As always, we will have to replace an important player, but we will do it,” he said.

“The return of the semifinal is going to play Lunin, who has acted very well today, a very reliable goalkeeper, did it very well last year, is doing very well this year. Now open the debate of the goal for the final seems too far away,” he concluded.
