Carlo Ancelotti was little affected by the defeat in the classic played in Dallas and considered his team's performance to be good. "For an hour we were very good. The result hurts us but it is the least important". The Italian coach highlighted the circumstance of the posts. "It seemed that we were playing against a wall. It had never happened to me to hit the post five times," he said.
The coach explained what he liked: "There have been many good things. We have pressed well, we have had opportunities, mobility...". And also the bad: "We were not good at set pieces in the first half and in the end we were very offensive and it cost us two goals."
Ancelotti also appreciated that his team presented a lot of novelties: "Right now I think we have a new team and we have to see how the youngsters adapt and it has turned out well. We have to continue in this line. Without playing with a fixed center forward we generate opportunities , so we are going to continue with this idea," he said.
And he added: "Today I wanted to see the youngsters. They have complied. Afterwards, what Modric and Kroos can contribute, I know. The idea was to give minutes to those who started. In the next one, those who have not had so many minutes today will play more ."
Despite the missed penalty by Vinícius Ancelotti praised his player: "Vinícius is adapting well to playing inside. It was dangerous. He had two crossbars, another opportunity, the penalty... he was a positive protagonist of the game. Already We will see who takes the penalties without Karim. Modric can take them. Also Rodrygo... We are testing him. Vinícius also shoots them well", he commented.
