Ancelotti: “Calling Benzema forward seems little to me”

Carlo Ancelotti he was satisfied with the game of his team … half. He didn’t like the first half, in which he missed more intensity with and without the ball, and he loved the second half. Ancelotti left Vitoria, yes, dazzled by Benzema, a player who in his opinion is very different from the one he had six years ago.

Hazard:

Hazard played a great game like everyone else. The first half was a bit slow, with and without the ball. In the second part we had more intensity and more quality. hazard has complied because he was very much alive. It is true that it was difficult to play on the inside because Alavs closed very well.

Alaba from left back:

“The left-back could be Alaba, mendy, Marcelo, Miguel and Nacho … It’s a position that is going to change a lot, because Alaba can play very well as a central defender.”

Bale:

“I do not know if he is more committed than other years, because I was not there. I see all the players well. Bale is going to improve because his condition is not optimal yet, like everyone else’s. Everyone can improve.”

The way to follow:

“We have played a game in which the intensity was not good in the first half. Karim’s first goal opened the game, but I want to play with intensity with the ball and without the ball.”

Vinicius and the goal:

“I believe that Vinicius has a lot of quality in one against one. I have told him that to score goals he has to give a touch or two, it is difficult to score with four or five touches. He is a very young player, who is going to improve” .

Benzema:

“Benzema is the end of the team, reading the situations of the match very well … He is a player to call a forward seems little to me. He is a very complete player. Now he is more complete than five years ago.”

Nacho:

“He is a player who has the ability to be focused for 90 minutes. I always say that there are two types of defenses, pessimists and optimists. And he is a pessimistic defender, because he thinks that something bad can happen and that is why he is always focused. 90 minutes”.
