00:00Alberto PerĂłn, Radio Estadio Nacho, Onda Cero.
00:04I'd like you to explain what happened today.
00:07It's not to be happy under any circumstances.
00:10What happened is...
00:14Luckily, it hasn't happened to us many times in recent times.
00:19The rival team played better than you and deserved to win.
00:23We had a hard time getting into the game,
00:26in terms of intensity, in terms of duels, in terms of clarity of play.
00:31Obviously, we could have tied the game,
00:34because we had a chance at the end, but it wasn't deserved.
00:38So, we have to learn,
00:43learn, as it happened the last time we lost a game,
00:47learn from what we have to improve, which is quite clear.
00:53I think it's very complicated.
01:01You can't take it off, because it's the vision.
01:04Hi, Carlos. Abraham Romero, El Mundo.
01:06Beyond the defeat,
01:08I don't know if you consider that the big flaw of this team,
01:11in the games in which it has been more difficult to get into,
01:15as you say, is the decision-making.
01:18Also, the attitude of the first parts in general,
01:22in the draws in Mallorca and Las Palmas.
01:25Do you think that's the big flaw of the team right now, beyond football?
01:31It's difficult.
01:33To evaluate today's game, everything has been quite bad.
01:37We did badly with the ball.
01:39Also, if the team in the first part was quite compact,
01:42we had a hard time getting the ball back.
01:44We had a hard time making the transition.
01:46We tried to be a bit more aggressive,
01:49but we had a hard time.
01:54We have to look at things with a cool head,
01:57not throw everything away,
01:59but obviously we have to improve.
02:04Hi, Antonio Romero.
02:07You're talking about intensity,
02:09about the loss of duels,
02:11but it seems that the team in the machine room,
02:14in the midfield, has a problem in creating football
02:16when the first goal doesn't come in.
02:18Do you have that feeling too?
02:22Today's feeling is this,
02:24that we had a hard time generating,
02:26we had a hard time creating.
02:30The possession of the ball has been quite slow,
02:33with few ideas.
02:35If you look at it today,
02:38it's obvious.
02:40Also because I think we have a forward
02:43that needs to play more vertically than normal.
02:49If it's hard for you to manage the ball well
02:53and get to the forward's feet slowly,
02:58it's a problem.
03:00Good evening, coach.
03:02RaĂșl Varela live for Radio Marca.
03:04What worries you more,
03:06having played badly,
03:08with all these defects that you are exposing,
03:10or what a defeat in a competition
03:12how many points, how many victories will be needed to qualify?
03:19The sadness comes from the feeling of the team,
03:23that it wasn't a good game,
03:25because games can be lost,
03:28because this is sport.
03:33We haven't given a good feeling in the game,
03:36that's what worries me the most,
03:40but I also think we have all the resources to learn from this defeat
03:45and do our best in the next ones.
03:47There's nothing else to do,
03:49we have to think,
03:51we have to fix things quickly,
03:53because we have another game on Saturday.
03:58Good evening, Miguel Ăngel DĂaz from La Cadena Cope.
04:01The club has complained a bit
04:03that you can't play on Sunday and Wednesday,
04:05then on Saturday.
04:06You are not a man of excuses,
04:08can you tell us if this has an influence,
04:11if it matters to you?
04:14No, I don't think so,
04:16because how many times have we played
04:18on Sunday and Wednesday,
04:22we have fought,
04:24it hasn't been a good night,
04:26we don't have to look for excuses,
04:28we have to improve and nothing else.
04:33I wanted to ask you about Bellingham,
04:35I don't know if you think that maybe
04:37playing so close to the team
04:39you lose some of the virtues you have,
04:41like the arrival,
04:43participating more in the attacks of the team,
04:45how do you see it?
04:47I see it as close to the team,
04:49it's only when we don't have the ball,
04:51for the rest it's the same position
04:53I've had all last year,
04:55with the success I've had last year.
04:57Now things don't come out
04:59with the same clarity
05:01as last year,
05:03you just have to wait,
05:05their position hasn't changed.
05:10Carlos Ruben Cañizares from ABC,
05:12you have mentioned a few problems
05:14of this game,
05:16I think you have repeated it
05:18in other occasions this season,
05:20slow movement, lack of intensity,
05:22we have lost duels, etc.
05:24What are you missing
05:26in the message of Ancelotti
05:28this year in the dressing room
05:30for all that to happen?
05:32I don't have to talk about it
05:34to fix it,
05:36if it's like that,
05:38it's much easier.
05:40There is a dynamic
05:42that needs to be improved,
05:44there are many things,
05:46it's not enough to talk about it,
05:48little by little.
05:50I think the team was improving,
05:52this game is a step back,
05:54we have to be encouraged
05:56to keep fighting,
05:58fighting and improving.
06:03Good evening,
06:05Timo Telemont for the L'Equipe channel.
06:07You have spoken about the difficulties
06:09of your team,
06:11have you also been surprised
06:13by what Lille has offered you
06:15and by the tactical scheme
06:17put in place by Bruno Genesio?
06:19No, no surprise,
06:21because the last games
06:23have played like this,
06:25it's a team that handles the ball very well,
06:27they were very motivated tonight,
06:29better than us,
06:32as I said,
06:34they played with more intensity
06:36and clarity with the ball.
06:38Let's do the last two questions.
06:40No, in front.
06:42Good evening,
06:44it's the first official defeat
06:46of the team since January,
06:48putting that in context,
06:50we have been talking for five weeks
06:52about the game of the team,
06:54what can be improved,
06:56you just said it's a step back,
06:58do you feel that there is impatience
07:00if the team is also
07:02thinking about that?
07:06Look, I'm very honest,
07:08the criticism
07:10for today's game
07:12is
07:14fair,
07:16correct,
07:18and we have to accept it,
07:20because it is so.
07:22We have not shown
07:24a good version
07:26in this game.
07:28Last question.
07:30How are you,
07:32Carlos Ibarra MartĂn,
07:34you have told us many times,
07:36especially last season,
07:38that it would be a honeymoon
07:40in Real Madrid,
07:42is it time to put that honeymoon
07:44aside and start working?
07:46Wait a moment,
07:48I think we have
07:52the last defeat
07:54that when we lost
07:56the derby,
07:58I think it was
08:00a fantastic
08:02boost,
08:04because from there
08:06it can be
08:08a fantastic boost.
08:10Thank you very much.
