Ancelotti: “It is inexplicable that they have not taken the red”

Carlo Ancelotti gave a very short press conference after Real Madrid’s defeat against Espanyol. With a very serious face and without any desire to speak, the Madrid coach criticized with hardness that the Red was not taught to Carlos Romero, the author of the goal, for his faithful entry to Mbappé: “The decision made by the Referee and the VAR (in that play). Everyone has seen it and the most important thing is to protect the player. It is a clear fault, a very ugly, risky entrance and fortunately nothing has happened. The VAR is for this. It seems inexplicable that he has not taken the red card, ”he said.

Asked Ancelotti if there is an arbitration war against Madrid, as the official television of the White Club, which described the arbitration of the “tendentious and very serious” party, insistently denounced, the Italian snorted and preferred not to go into details. “I don’t want to talk about this issue. I mean what has happened today in the game, which I found inexplicable because everyone has seen it. ”

Nor did Ancelotti value the goal annulled to Vinícius: “The referee has told us that it was Mbappé.” For the coach, “the game has been difficult, complicated. Some things have done well, we have had good control, opportunities, a goal canceled, a post … The game was quite controlled, Espanyol has played well in transition and has found the goal. ”

Ancelotti praised Espanyol’s game again: “Espanyol has played a good game, he has defended very well, he tried to make transitions that was what they had to do. The game has not been as bad as the result says, sometimes it can happen. We have had opportunities, the team has been balanced, we continue in the fight and you have to look at the next game. ”

Nor did he say anything about Rüdiger’s injury: “He has had a muscle injury, doctors will have to value it. I can’t answer you about what you have. We have spoken about what happened, we have thought about it and we know perfectly what we have to do. ”
