Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, continues to look to the future with confidence despite the draw against Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid missed a great opportunity to temporarily regain the lead in La Liga this Saturday by conceding a draw at Rayo Vallecano (3-3). The Madrilenians, who are one match late after the postponement of their match against Valencia, initially scheduled for January 3 but postponed due to flooding, were unable to take advantage of Barça’s misstep, held in check by Betis Sevilla (2-2) last weekend.
Despite this bad operation, Carlo Ancelotti gave a resolutely optimistic speech. At a press conference after this lively Madrid derby, the Italian coach commented positively on the copy made by his team. “We are on the right track. The match was quite satisfying. This draw was not as bad as the one against Las Palmas or Mallorca. This one was much more consistent,” he whispered.
A reassuring precedent for Ancelotti
The transalpine technician recalled that, despite a similar draw against the Franjirrojos (1-1) on February 18, 2024, the Merengue had still been crowned champions of Spain at the end of the last exercise. Ancelotti was confident for the future, notably thanks to the expected returns of injured Kylian Mbappé and Ferland Mendy.
“Last season, we failed to win on the Rayo pitch and yet we were champions. When all the players come back from the infirmary, the team will be much better”he continued.
