On Saturday, Real Madrid lost to the Bernabéu against Valence, with a goal conceded in the last minutes which came to put a real blow to the Madrilenians.
The home defeat on Saturday afternoon was very complicated to digest for the Merengue players, being one of the most painful this season, as reported MARK This Monday. The draw of Barça the same evening did not alleviate the sentence of the players of Real Madrid, who had to feed big regrets the next day. The supporters present at the stadium did not hesitate to criticize their players following their poor performance.
This match was not the best way to prepare for the match on Tuesday against Arsenal. But Carlo Ancelotti wants to be reassuring by recalling that there is nothing lost and that everything is still at hand, depending only on the desire that the players would put. He wants his players to use this match so as not to reproduce the same mistakes on the Emirates lawn.
But the group was very affected. They know that they have lost a golden opportunity to get closer to the conquest of the Liga or at least put pressure on Barcelona and still do not understand how they could arrive in the last minutes without solving the match. Coach Merengue hopes that this match will not weigh too much and that he will not influence the Champions League match that awaits them.
Focus on the Champions League for Real Madrid
The Champions League changes since it is important to quickly move on after this unexpected thunderclap. The coach and all the staff felt this Sunday the need to re -mobilize everyone after this rout, because they felt that something was no longer going.
It was therefore necessary to act in the face of this situation and that is what he did by making a speech before the session on Sunday. He asked for a penultimate effort to forget what happened in Valence, recalling, in passing, what is underway, starting with the match against Arsenal which can be a turning point in the season of the White House.
