Ancelotti does not believe that the defeat will affect his Cup and Champions League goals

“I am convinced that we will see a different team in the next two games,” said the Italian.

The transalpine recognized that the head of his players is in the Cup final and in the European semifinal

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was upset with the second successive defeat away from the Santiago Bernabéu, although he does not believe any conclusions can be drawn ahead of the Cup final and Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.

“I am convinced that we will see a different team in the next two games, with another maximum concentration and a squad ready to win the cup and reach the final of the champions league. Motivation is not like a light that goes on or off, but this team is quite special in this sense,” the Italian coach said after the match.

Ancelotti did not want to dwell too much on what happened at the Reale Arena, although he did have time to describe as a “gift” the first goal conceded by Eder Militao with an erroneous pass that Take Kubo would take advantage of to put the clash back on track.

“The first part has been goodthen we gave away the first goal and from there everything was more complicated but what we did in the first half worked“Ancelotti said.

He is confident of getting Luka Modric back for the next games, although he announced that “we are not going to risk” with the Croatian midfielder and he is convinced that the concentration of his squad will be different in the matches in which his team plays the season.

“It’s not the best way to prepare for those matches because a defeat hurts, gives you concern and offers worse feelings. It is clear that the minds of the players are more in the final on Saturday and much more in the European semifinala, that affects and if you don’t have a good concentration in the end this happens”, concluded the Real Madrid coach.
