The Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was annoying with the arbitration performance this Sunday in La Victoria (1-0) about Athletic Club and with what he described as “new football”, while trusting that the white season can still “get something.”
“New football is this. The goal annulled to Vinícius there is no doubt because it is something automatic, which is not automatic is that the VAR has not called the referee to verify the penalty of Bellingham, it is the new modern football,” he said after the match at Santiago Bernabéu, pointing out that Marcelino would agree with him, after the controversy in the ceramics.
Ancelotti celebrated Fede Valverde’s goal in the discount and a good game, especially in the second half. “Valverde has been key because it has scored the goal. The team has done it well, a little more slowly the first part. We wanted to win, react after the elimination, the team has fulfilled,” he said.
On the other hand, the Italian coach saw “good news” in the triumph against the Basques in search of continuing to “improve”, with the Copa del Rey final next Saturday against FC Barcelona. “We have played with an alignment to have more control. Then we put more players in front to win. We have the time to prepare the final, we have another game on Wednesday, this victory is good for us because it encourages us a little more,” he said.
“Vinícius is an extraordinary player, a fantastic attitude, has tried, has been decisive as always. Like us, also the fans, he believes that we can get this season. They have not been happy days for Vini or for us, but the reaction I have had in the field I liked many, it will be a very important piece in the next games, for what it does in the field and for the attitude it has,”
