Esp: Real’s match was criticized, Ancelotti was quoted by Atletico

The most tempted by the Barcelona match, Antonio Cassano, criticized Real Madrid’s production. Unsurprisingly, this type of comment does not please Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Although Carlo Ancelotti captained La Liga and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, he does not escape criticism. The Italian suffered in particular from the attacks of his compatriot Antonio Cassano in the productive match. ” Real Madrid is playing badlybrought down the former quarterback on Bobo TV. Against PSG and against Chelsea (in C1), they were very lucky. But sooner or later it will end. If you look at Barcelona, ​​whose season started very late, that’s different music. In a press conference on Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti refused to respond to it.

Xavi: “It’s Barcelona. We have an obligation to win… and play well. It’s not enough for us 1-0… We know the house and here we have to be excellent. History says it’s the most difficult and demanding club in the world.”

On the other hand, the technician responded to the words of Xavi, his Catalan counterpart, who claimed that it was difficult to train Barcelona because of the commitment to play a good match. I would like to answer a question: What is “good play”? Here, everyone has their own opinions. I think playing well means being good with and without the ballCarlo Ancelotti knew. You can defend amazingly, but that doesn’t mean you’re playing well, because if you don’t do the right thing with the ball, you’re not playing well. On the contrary. If you attack well but defend poorly, you are not playing well. »

” Football is about attacking and defending. A team plays well when it is able to attack well and defend well, whether with a low kick, midfield or high pressure. For me, this is football and no one will change my mind. For example, against Manchester City, Atlético Madrid defended very well. Then we can discuss if they could do more with the ball, but their defense was very good ”, appreciated the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain, as if defending the philosophy of Diego Simeone.
