Ancelotti reveals the reason:” Real Madrid fights back to defeat promoted Almeria in season opener”!

 
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed the reasons for the difficulty of beating Almeria at the start of the Spanish League. Ancelotti was pleased after victory over Almeria. Real fought back to win 2-1 with goals from Lucas Vazquez and David Alaba. Ancelotti said, “We expected to have to dig in here, even more so when we made life difficult for ourselves with a defensive error we could have avoided. We struggled from then on. They defended very well, we had a lot of shots on goal and once the first one went in, things got easier. “Rüdiger put in a good performance. The younger lads didn't play like they usually do but I'm pleased with them. They struggled on an emotional level in today's game, they didn't do anything wrong but they can do better. I took Camavinga off because he was on a card and I didn't want to risk it. “Originally, it should have been Karim or Toni taking the free-kick. Alaba strikes them really nicely from that side and Davide told me to have him take it, which he did, and he got it right. It wasn't easy to tell Karim and Toni not to have it but he took it and scored."
He continued: "The young players did not appear, as usual, they did not make any mistakes, but they could have performed better than that." With this result, Real Madrid won the first 3 points, as the royal club has also posted its first shutout and road win of the season.
