Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has said his players were too slow in going forward as Los Blancos lost 1-0 in the Madrid derby against Atletico de Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The win for Los Rojiblancos, came courtesy of a Diego Costa goal in the 10th minute. It was the first win in La Liga over Real Madrid in 23 attempts for Diego Simeone’s side, but brought back painful memories of the Copa del Rey final defeat by the same team at the same ground for Real Madrid fans.
Speaking after the game, Ancelotti, whose side are now five points behind Atletico and Barcelona in La Liga, said his players did not show the required levels of determination, and were too slow going forward, allowing Atletico to defend in numbers.
He stated: “We were slow in attack. We didn’t have a good game. We have to recover and improve. Losing a match at home is not easy. I have to think about solutions. We played well up until last week.
“We have to continue working with the same system but I’m confident we will improve. We must improve a lot of things including our attitude and confidence. I have faith in my players. The problem is not our style of play, it’s with our pace.”
