Carlo Ancelotti says this after Atletico defeat

September 25, 2023
Carlo Ancelotti has blamed Real Madrid for their poor showing following their 3-1 La Liga defeat to Atletico Madrid on Sunday (September 24). Three passes from Atletico's left side resulted in a three-goal lead for Diego Simeone's side. Alvaro Morata scored early in the second half with a goal from Antoine Griezmann in the 17th minute between the Spanish striker.

Toni Kroos made it 2-1 before half-time to give his side hope, but it was just a consolation goal. But Atletico took the lead in the only statistic that mattered at the end of the day. At the other end, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba are always in trouble with Atletico passing. All three of the home team's goals were unbeaten headers. After the match, Ancelotti blamed himself for Madrid's first defeat of the season and told reporters (h / t @MadridXtra): "It was all my fault." He added: “I will not change the system.

This game will help us fix some things. "Carlo Ancelotti has been loyal to his 4-1-2-1-2 system this season, with diamonds in the midfield and two strikers. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes is the choice of the Italian manager to rise to the top after the departure of Karim Benzema. However, Jude Bellingham was deployed with Rodrygo in the attack against the Los Colchoneros due to Vinicius' thigh injury.
