Rafa Benitez made a positive analysis of Real Madrid’s victory against AC Milan in the International Champions Cup, and in general confessed he is very satisfied with the whole tour.
“This match is the end of the tour […] The overall assessment is very positive on a tour of these characteristics. The team deserves praise for its attitude, for its good play and for the results it has picked up, he said in a press conference after the game.
Both Keylor Navas and Kiko Casilla had a great performance in the match, and Benitez praised both: “I had a good goalkeeper in the first half (Navas), another in the second (Casilla) and a third waiting, and in case that’s misinterpreted I mean the lad on the bench. I reiterate that we have to keep on working and things will steadily take shape. ”
However, Benitez confessed there are still things to improve: “We knew the characteristics of the team. In some passages they’ve shown good bite in attack and we’re steadily making adjustments in defence so as not to concede goals. It’s important that we continue to score goals and avoid letting any in. We’ve had some very good passages during the tour”.
Benitez also sent a message to the fans: “We’re going to work hard, we’re going to show desire and we’re going to be all out to do the right things, showing common sense, and from there the quality of the players is what makes the difference.”
