Al -Malab newspaper – Real Madrid’s confrontation against Deportivo Alaves in round 31 of the Spanish League witnessed a remarkable event, with David Ancelotti’s sitting in the seat of the first coach, instead of his father Carlo Ancelotti, who was absent from the meeting because of the suspension of the accumulation of cards.
David said after the match: “I enjoyed a lot of this experience, I was a little tense at the beginning as is the case every time, but I lived with passion. It is not the first time that I led the team, as this happened during the Korona pandemic period,” David said after the match.
On the difficult victory that the team achieved, Davidi said: “The victory gives us confidence, we knew that the match would not be easy, and what happened during it has increased its difficulty, but we are happy to win because it enhances our ambition for what we want to happen next Wednesday.”
Commenting on the expulsion of Killian Mbappe in the first half, he explained: “I did not talk to him after the match. Mbappe is not a violent player, and he apologized and was aware of what he did. It was a clear red card, and he paid for it.”
He stressed: “I do not justify what happened, but the large number of mistakes against him made him get away in that way.”
On the difficulty of crowning the league or the Champions League, he answered: “Both are difficult, but we will try to achieve them. We know that quality alone is not enough, and some things must go in our favor, but we believe in our ability to compete in the two championships.”
David explained the change of Danny Sebayos, saying: “Sebayos trained well and was completely ready, but the switch was with the aim of winning some time at the end of the chaos match, and he presented a good season and will help us a lot on Wednesday, whether it started essential or as a substitute.”
And about the racist chants that targeted Asensio, David commented: “What happens is disappointing at the societal level, we as players and a technical staff are not the one who makes decisions, our competing mission only, but the ruling is the one who has to activate the protocol in such cases.”
He continued his remarks, saying: “Everything walked in nature. Two years ago I turned the team because of my father’s injury to Korona, and he always gives me confidence.”
He concluded: “There was no need to tell me (my father).
