Ancelotti Reappears Hours After the Derby with a Message No One Expected

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has demonstrated on more than one occasion that he is one of the most important elements of the club. This is not only due to his great technical skills but also because of his performance in this stage. However, it seems that positivity is something the Merengue coach doesn't lack, even with the challenging campaign.

After the favorable result at Santiago Bernabéu against Atlético Madrid, his positivity came to light. "Good first half; second half missing" was the phrase the Merengue coach left after the Champions League match. There is no doubt that his positivity is something that spreads throughout all of Madridism.

The great result in this first leg of the Champions League round of 16 could determine the passage to the next round. A distance Real Madrid wants to reach at all costs, especially knowing they can eliminate a great rival.

A Positive Ancelotti

The Italian coach has had to solve a great number of problems throughout the last season, including injuries and slumps. Therefore, it is simply unbelievable that he has so much positivity after the result against Atlético.

While it is true that a 2-1 is not a completely decisive result for a match, it is indeed an interesting advantage. Now they have to secure the victory for the next occasion when they face the Colchoneros.

The next match will be at their home, at the Metropolitano, where they will surely face a lot of pressure. Nevertheless, the coach is convinced they can achieve a victory in this second part of the knockout stage. Moreover, he fully trusts his players to do so.

They Have to Win

Now more than ever, they have to show that, despite having a bad season, they have everything necessary to face this Champions League. An ideal opportunity to once again proclaim themselves as the favorites of the competition. Additionally, eliminating Atlético Madrid at their home would be a very appealing bonus.
