The head coach of Madrid's "Real", Carlo Ancelotti, was not disappointed with his team's performance against "Villarreal" and was happy that they are still the leaders of "La Liga".
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, "Real" lost very important points in the battle for first place. The "Whites" played a 1-1 draw with the "Yellow Submarines", reducing the gap with second-placed "Barcelona" to two points.
"Villarreal" handled the ball very well," C. Ancelotti said. "In the first half we played slowly, but the second half was better, although we couldn't achieve a positive result."
"I think the team's game is improving. We lost two points, but we still have an advantage over Barcelona. Of course, we are not happy with the first draws in the championship, but we hope to bounce back in the next round," added the coach.
On the 7th day of the battle for important points, "Real" will face the footballers of Bilbao "Athletic".
