The embarrassing and disturbing images of last night’s Civitas Metropolitano match have led to talk about everything except football.
Real Madrid secured an important draw against Atletico Madrid, helping Los Blancos extend their unbeaten run and move closer to Barcelona in the La Liga standings.
Carlo Ancelotti said in his press conference: “It was a game where both sides dominated and things could have gone differently, but our aim was to improve defensively compared to last year, and we succeeded in that.
We could have had more speed with the ball, but we have to take into account that we play a lot, and the pace cannot always be at full speed in every match.”
However, apart from these statements, the Italian coach was not at all satisfied with the performance of one of his players, as Antonio Rudiger’s performance was below par, as he made several mistakes with the ball, and even opened up space for his opponent to create chances. He was not as strong defensively as he has been accustomed to on previous occasions.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti spent some time talking to Rudiger about the mistakes he made, especially the one that cost the team a goal.
It was reported that defender Antonio Rudiger was widely criticized after Real Madrid’s draw in the derby against La Roja Blancos.
The reports added that the reason was that the German defender was the player who broke the offside of the opponent’s players the most, which could have cost Los Blancos the match.
