“Real Madrid coach noted the complexity of this confrontation”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“It was a difficult game, and even more so when you miss the ball within a minute. After that, they went into defense and tried to catch us on counterattack. The priority was effective to own the ball and not complicate the game again. It was a flat game, and Atletico is one of the best in the world in defense. They are well trained, defended and work hard for each other, and we had a wonderful chance due to the incredible mbappe pass, but we did not realize the penalty, and the account was equal to a penalty series.
I tried to explain our priority, which was not to complicate the situation by losing the ball in bad areas where they could catch you out of position. If they made the score 2-0, the game would be very difficult. We were the best in this sense in the second half of the extra time. We should always strive to improve and work on it. I already explained what our approach was in this match. It seemed that we had to score a goal, and we never left the game.
I have no idea that it can matter in a penalty series. You have to choose calm guys you can only. This is a lottery, and it was in our favor. Atletico comes out of the competition with a high head, because they played in their best shape. I was quite calm about all this. When it is a lottery, you throw a coin, and fortunately, it fell to us, ”Carlo commented.
In the next round of the Real Champions League will play with the London Arsenal.
