The Real Madrid dressing room was a poem after the debacle against Manchester City. Faces of bitterness, pain and sadness for a defeat that stings a lot and reopens the debate on the future of Carlo Ancelotti, who was reviewed by Pep Guardiola at the Etihad. “It’s sport. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Today we have not been well, they have deserved to pass and that’s it, “said Luka Modric.
“We have not been good. We wanted to play a better game but City have been superior and we must congratulate them, “said the Croatian, who prefers to avoid carrying out hot analysis. “I don’t want to delve into the subject because we have to assimilate this defeat, but this team still has a lot to give and bring a lot of joy to Real Madrid,” said the Real Madrid number 10 in the mixed zone.
The Balkan player broke a spear for Ancelotti, despite the fact that the severe correction damaged the coach’s image. «The coach deserves to continue, I have no doubt about that. Since he has arrived, in his second stage, he has won all the titles. Last year we had an incredible season. This year we were very good until the World Cup and then we had a defeat in the League that was not foreseen, but in the Cup and in the Champions League we have done very well to this day and that is why I have no doubts about its continuity. He deserves it for all he’s done and the experience he brings to this team. We played very well. There is no need to make any drama about this defeat. We have four games left in this League and we want to do well,” said the midfielder.
Modric also considers that his generation still has a long way to go. Does this group deserve one more year? I asked him: «I think so, but I know that when you lose in Madrid everything becomes very big. In each defeat there is a lot of analysis and criticism”, accepted the ’10’.
Vinicius: “A bit of everything was missing”
Another footballer who came out to show his face in the bowels of the Etihad Stadium was Vinicius, off like his entire team at the Mancunian venue. “It has been a very difficult day for us,” acknowledged the Brazilian, who praised City. “They have played very well. They are a great team,” he said.
«We have not managed to do what the coach has lost us. Suffering is important but we can’t suffer for so long”, highlighted the carioca, who did not attribute the defeat suffered by Real Madrid to a lack of character. “Not the attitude. A little of everything was missing, but it was a very difficult game against a great team and at home,” he said.
“All very sad because we wanted to win and reach another final,” said Vinicius, who, like Modric, advocated Ancelotti’s continuity: “Yes, yes, of course.”
