‘Real Madrid Fans Prioritize Winning Over Playing Well’
Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, dismissed criticism of his team’s ugly approach on Friday, stating that winning was more important than playing properly.
He declared, “Real Madrid fans prefer winning over playing well,” prior to the team’s LaLiga matchup against Espanyol, who are currently in mid-table, on Sunday.
“Ideally, you want to win while playing a beautiful brand of football, but our main goal is to satisfy our demanding supporters, so we’ll continue to concentrate on winning even though we know that our team is still far from peak form.
“It’s typical for us to not be at our best at the start of a tough calendar. As the season progresses and we start to compete for more significant prizes, we will get better. We are doing well for the time being, he said at a press conference.
Real Madrid began their Champions League championship defense on Tuesday with a hard-fought 3-1 victory at home against Stuttgart, thanks to the injured returns of midfielders Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni.
The Italian continued by saying he was unconcerned by the underwhelming performances of strikers Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe, who are still developing despite improving every week and will eventually provide Real Madrid with the spark they require to be successful with a direct approach.
We must make use of the strength and speed that our players possess, particularly when they are on the ball.
With 15 points, Barcelona is four points ahead of Atletico Madrid, Real, and Villarreal in the LaLiga rankings.
