What was said.
“Those stats suggest that we’re performing well. This is a tough place to come to and they’re a strong side. We played well and deserved the win after what was a strong all-round performance. We’ve got that lead at the top because we’re playing well, are showing ourselves to be a solid side and are getting that consistency in our results”.
“It seemed like it was a straightforward game but it wasn’t because Real Sociedad have real quality and the fact that they weren’t able to show all of that quality is down to my team, who put in a strong all-round display. I don’t want to go thinking about winning LaLiga now and I don’t want anyone to think about it because every game is a battle and we have to be very smart because our next games come thick and fast”.
Madrid kept a clean sheet in the game and Ancelotti says he is pleased with the work of the defenders.
“Today’s game was different to the one against Athletic. It was an important game and what I liked was the way we defended. I’ve never doubted our ability to attack, but the team’s desire in this period has been very good”.
Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby in their next match as Ancelotti believes that their win against Real Sociedad will boost their confidence.
“We go into the match with confidence, knowing that it’s an important game, because the derby is always special. There’re no favourites in these games and we’re going to put our quality to the test against Atlético. It’ll be a tough game, so we’ll see what happens”.
