DC reveals Ancelotti tough talk with Kepa before Real Betis game
Carlo Ancelotti has been consulted about this fact for days. Real Madrid’s goal has left debates in various media and social networks that finally saw the light of the Italian’s first big decision as soon as he has. Lunin was a starter and these were the coach’s words with Kepa about this fact.
It becomes impossible not to talk about the topic when commenting or analyzing a Betis vs. Real Madrid where there were milestones of all kinds. One of the most important was precisely a duel in goal where Carlo Ancelotti opted for Andriy Lunin instead of Kepa. There was a talk with the Basque before the start of a contest that cannot be understood without said decision.
Talking about Betis was talking about risk. Not only because he had not fallen into his fiefdom so far this year or because of the way Pellegrini’s team is living led by an Isco who is one of the sensations of the course. Madrid had no margin for error thinking about a day where let’s not forget, Barcelona and Girona will meet in the last hours of Sunday in Montjuic.
“Nothing has changed and we continue to trust him. For his part, Lunin has shown character and personality. It’s good for us to have both. “He may rotate in these games until Christmas,” words from Carlo Ancelotti who warned his team of the risks of a key day thinking about the final objective. We had to take a step forward in every way, including those that involve making decisions that will mark the club’s next weeks. Finally, the Ukrainian won the game.
“You are a great goalkeeper, he continues to work just as well, but we think that Lunin should play today because he has earned it…” were some of the excerpts from a talk behind closed doors of the Madrid locker room at the Betis stadium where Carlo Ancelotti explained his decisions to a goalkeeper who was also returning to the squad due to his injury.
Hours later and at a press conference, the Italian would make it clear that the competition is still open and that goalkeepers like Kepa or Lunin will continue fighting for ownership at Real Madrid every day. When he returns to Thibaut Courtois, of course, the equation will be more than different and we may not even see one of these two names again.
