Mixed feelings for Carlo

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti did not mince words by expressing his disappointment after a poor display from from his side. Not even victory was consolation for Ancelotti.

"I am not happy, we needed to play differently and we have suffered a lot. It's clear that I'm not happy about the game, the best thing is the result, but that's not enough, we have to play better."

Ancelotti noted that, "Elche was aggressive, very compact and deserved the draw," said Carlo who did not want to delve into the match's controversial moments and took the word of Pepe on the penalty call. "From the bench it is difficult to talk about those plays, I don’t like to talk about refereeing decisions in general. I spoke with Pepe and he told me that it was a clear penalty."

Ancelotti also responded to Piqué, who had noted on social media that the Madrid match was like watching a comedy film: "He should think about playing and not talking, it's better being on the field than not on it," the Italian replied, who then continued to be critical of his team: "Playing like this tonight, we are not going to win the derby, that's clear, and I think everyone understands that. We need to play better, with more intensity and more personality."

"I don’t like to talk about the opponent, they played a good game, with a good defensive organization. We are going to play many times against opponents like that and we’ll need to find solutions. We are not finding solutions inside the lines, we play very horizontal and that makes things easy for the opposing defense."
