Ancelotti: "When you win by a goal it's normal to ask for the time"

MADRID, 8 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, explained that it is normal to "ask for the time" when the result is short like this Saturday against Getafe (1-0), but he pointed to a deserved victory in which they were comfortable with the ball without needing to squeeze

"When you win by a goal lead, it's normal to ask for the time, it's nothing new. The team played well, they deserved to win. We could have scored more, a clean sheet, we've done good things. We weren't as successful as before, but very satisfied. Last year we punctured here. The team has been much more solid and strong in the duels," he said at a press conference.

The Italian coach pointed out that the Whites were champions last year due to their defensive solidity and gave importance to the clean sheet at the Coliseum. "The clean sheet is very important. Last year's success was because the defensive aspect was very good. It was a slightly different game, a lot of aerial balls. It was an important game like any other, the Clásico is very far away, it could be on Tuesday rotate a little more," he said.

"Sometimes there are games where you are very comfortable with the ball. The fact of scoring early, we have not been in the rush of other times, we have controlled the ball, we have created many opportunities and scored little," he added.

On the other hand, Ancelotti referred to the situation of an Eden Hazard who is barely getting any minutes. "Hazard is fine, he is training well, he will get a chance from him very soon," he said.
