We allowed Shakhtar to create only one offensive opportunity – Ancelotti

The Real Madrid head coach was pleased with the way his team played in the Champions League match.

Real Madrid completely controlled the game with Shakhtar and deserved to win. This opinion was expressed by Carlo Ancelotti after the Champions League match.

The head coach of the current European Cup winners also believes that the Pitmen have only made one serious moment in the hosts’ goal.

“I’m happy because the team played well, pressed high and attacked well. We created a lot of chances but didn’t convert them. But it was important to create chances and we did it.

The team relaxed when the opportunity arose. We’re just letting the opposition create an offensive opportunity, so I’m not worried. During the break, I informed the players that the game was not over.

Yes, intensity is important, but it’s impossible to play hard all the time, so we’ve toned it down a bit, assuming the game is under our control.

We’ve slightly changed Rodrigo’s position so he can put more pressure on the opponent’s central defenders. Then he got a cramp in his calf, but nothing serious, everything will be fine with him.

For Benzema, his health has improved a lot, he made a good performance, although he didn’t score goals, but this is the last thing we focus on.

He played a decisive role because of his qualities and positioning, especially in the opponent’s penalty area,” Ancelotti quoted Madrid’s official website as saying.

Recall that Shakhtar lost the last match of the Champions League on the road to Real Madrid with a score of 1:2.

Earlier, Pitmen head coach Igor Jovicevich summarized the game against Royal Club.
