Ancelotti: “Some are not convinced, but the Super League is something good for football”

Statements after the stressful victory of Real Madrid at the home of Alaves were made by Carlo Ancelotti!

The Italian coach praised the “golden” scorer Bathketh, talked about VAR and the expulsion of Nacho, described Tsouameni as an excellent central defender, while also addressing the burning issue of the European Super League, expressing that the creation of it will be for the good of football!

What the Real coach said in detail:



For Bathketh’s goal: “In two games we told him to enter the opponent’s area, in one he scored and in the other he gave an assist. We know how capable he is. Although he is small, he is dangerous”.

For the celebrations after the finish: “It was a complicated game and with the player less it became even more difficult. Everyone thought we would win comfortably. We endured with 10 players, we defended properly and in the end we were rewarded”.

For the European Super League: “It was an important decision for football and for all clubs. Some are not convinced, but it is clear that there can be no monopoly in football. It’s something positive. It will improve the program, which is something we are concerned about. I’m sure time will tell if it’s for the best.”.

For Nacho’s dismissal: “The referee thought he should have given a yellow card and the VAR that he should have given a red. That’s the problem, sometimes the VARs make a decision that the referee doesn’t share.”.

For Tsoameni in the role of defender: “I know he’ll be upset when he hears me say this, but he’s a fantastic centre-back. He plays very well in the position and controls the ball well. He is lucky that he can play both as a midfielder and as a defender.”

For Girona: “Getting a draw against Betis is not easy. They have shown their quality so far. They have no European obligations so they will fight to the end, like Barcelona and Atlético. Don’t write off Bilbao, who are playing very well”.
