Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media about his style of play during Real Madrid’s 3-0 win against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu. "We're not anxious or frustrated. We're very excited and motivated to try to do better. We deserved to win today and we played better and with more cohesion between everyone.

The former Bayern Munich manager added, "We got the three points and we're going into the break feeling good. It's a happy day as we've taken a step forward in terms of what we want to do and what we want to be. We have to work hard, but we've got all the tools we need to do well.

The Italian manager spoke about what was different in the second half for his side which led to the two goals against Real Betis. He said, “I had a good feeling in the first half, although we were a bit slower on the ball, but we defended well and the team stayed in the game. We got into a better rhythm in the second half, like we normally do. We put in a good performance in the second half. We're not at our best, that will come gradually."

“Scoring is important for Mbappé” : Carlo Ancelotti on Kylian Mbappe

The former Everton manager praised Vinicius Jr.’s unselfish behaviour towards Kylian Mbappe. He said, “Everyone worked well and Vini Jr. got the penalty for him. He was very unselfish and both of them, along with Rodrygo, have a good relationship.
