Real Madrid couldn’t overcome Cádiz’s defensive wall on Sunday as the guests at Santiago Bernabeu held them to a draw. But Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti was happy with the performance of his players at home on Sunday night. After the weekend football match ended in frustration, Ancelotti has discussed Real Madrid’s vexing 0-0 home draw with Cadiz.
Ancelotti Has Discussed Real Madrid’s Vexing 0-0 Home Draw with Cadiz
Carlo Ancelotti, as the manager of Real Madrid, spoke in his press conference after their 0-0 game with guests Cadiz.
And Ancelotti said: “When we win then I’m very content, even if we play badly. If we play badly and lose then I’m very sad. If we play well and don’t win then I’m just content. So, today I’m content. We tried everything we could from the first to last minute. I think we lacked some quality in the final 30 metres, but I can’t be angry. These matches can happen. There were many positive aspects, with the result the only thing that wasn’t positive.”
Discussing Belgian forward Eden Hazard, Ancelotti said he hopes to see him do more when the campaign resumes after winter-break.
“It was hard for him to get into the game in the first half. In the second half he did better. It’s hard for him to play on the outside on the right, he isn’t used to it, on the inside he played better with Karim. Hazard can be another weapon that we have for the second half of the season,” Ancelotti concluded about Eden Hazard.
Discussing the title race as a whole, the coach admitted that Sevilla are genuine challengers. Indeed, Sevilla are just six points behind Real on the Spanish table and they still have a game in hand.
About Sevilla’s proximity to the leaders, Ancelotti said: “If we look at the table then Sevilla are closest to us. They have a lot of quality, technically and commitment wise. They also have a fanbase that will push that team. Right now, they are closest to us and we’ll have to fight with them. But the teams who are further back will come back too.”
