“It was my worst game in years”: the Madrid player, sad, told Ancelotti after Almeria game
Real Madrid faced a tough test this afternoon against Almería, a team that is at the bottom of the standings, but which offered a great performance at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Those led by Carlo Ancelotti took to the field without strength, clearly paying for the effort made in the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.
“All the players want to play and we have to evaluate the players’ fatigue well and we have not evaluated it well,” was what the Italian coach explained at the end of the match.
However, the most notable of the duel for Real Madrid was Nacho Fernández, especially because he appears in the images of Almería’s two goals.
The youth player was substituted at half-time, something he was not very happy about, especially because he knows that his performance was not in line with his history.
Nacho, now calmer due to the victory, did not hesitate to acknowledge Ancelotti for his bad game and even that he had not looked so bad in many years of his career.
“My worst game in years, I’m very sorry…”, the captain apologized to the Italian coach, something that ended with a hug between both white representatives.
Now it’s time to rest, regain strength and prepare for next weekend’s game, in a day in which Real Madrid will continue seeking to stay at the top of the standings, yes, with Nacho Fernández starting in the center of defense Meringue.
