Carlo Ancelotti said that Real Madrid “is improving, but it has not yet appeared” in an attempt by its side to gain automatic rehabilitation to the last Champions League at the age of 16 against Lego 1 on Wednesday. The European Champion of the ruling is guaranteed from their place in the coated qualifying round at least, as the league stage of the Champions League, which was renewed with the final match day this week, is concluded. However, after three defeats in their seventh opening matches, Real ranked sixteen is only with an external opportunity to secure the best eight years for automatic progress to the last 16.
It seems that the beginning of stumbling to defend their Spanish titles and the Champions League is behind the charges of Ancelotti after they won nine of the last 10 games in all competitions.
“I think the team is improving, but it has not yet appeared in it, although we are approaching,” Ancelotti said during his press conference before the match on Tuesday.
“The idea and vision we have for this team, I think it is clear to everyone and the team has improved collectively, but also individually.
“This is the case for Kylian Mbappe, but also for Rodrygo (Goes) or (Jude) and all other players. They all worked hard.
“Kylian plays well. I think he needed a little time to improve a sport and adapt to his new environment … Now we are completely benefiting from getting MBAPE with us and the attributes he can bring to the team.”
He criticized his performances at the beginning of the season after his long -awaited move from Paris Saint -Germain, Captain France Maababi got among the goals as Madrid rose to the top of the Spanish league during the winter.
The 26 -year -old has 21 goals in 31 games, eight of which came in January.
Los Blancos sits only one point outside the first eight places, but seven teams are currently between them and Bayer Leverkusen eighth.
One of these parties is opposition on Wednesday, which admired its first European appearance, with four wins from seven so far.
Ancelotti said: “Brest did an excellent job in the Champions League,” Ancelotti said.
“They have a point more than us … It is not a coincidence that they took 13 points in the first stage.
“They are a very good team who know how to benefit from the characteristics of their players,” the Italian veteran added.
“No chance”
Brest also guarantees the progress of the knockout, which their coach described as “difficult to imagine” when the Breton team succeeded in his campaign by beating 2-1 over Sturm Graz in neighboring Guingamp because their own stadium is the requirements of UEFA.
“If someone tells us … that Real Madrid will be behind us (now), we thought he was less than that,” Brest Coach Eric Roy said during his press conference on Tuesday.
“We started a good start in the competition, while Real may have been in a period when it was less quality.
“We saw them losing at night (1-0), and we saw them losing at home in front of Milan (3-1).
“We managed to excessive performance, and they may have less performance, and this is definitely why we have a point today more than them.”
The French promised that his team would seem proactive against their frightening opponents.
“We will have to play, but when I say play, I really mean playing, and in other words you are able to cause problems for our opponents,” Roy said.
“The wonderful thing in football is that it still does not always win the favorite.
“It is clear that if you look at the statistics, if you look at the budget, if you look at the installation list, if you look at the team, you can tell yourself that you do not stand a chance.
“But in football, you can be inferior and still win matches. This does not happen often, but it can happen.”
