Carlo Ancelotti, the new coach of Real Madrid, returned to a press conference on the performance of his players, winners in Alavés (4-1), on the first day of La Liga.
The Italian technician also praised the presation of Karim Benzema, author of a double: “(On Benzema) It means the finalization, the ability to read very well the different situations of the match, help in defense ... Speaking of attacker seems reductive for Benzema.
Compared with the Karim I knew five years ago, he's a much more complete player, with a lot more personality too.
(On defense) Our balls came out a bit slow, the pressure too, we didn't have the courage to press high, although we can afford it because we have fast defenders like Militao , Vazquez ... We have to work on this.
(On Nacho) He has the ability to stay focused for 90 or even 91 or 92 minutes.
In my view of football, there are two types of defenders: optimistic defenders and pessimistic defenders.
In my opinion, Nacho is a pessimistic defender, because he always thinks that something can happen, so he always remains attentive until the end of the match ”.
