Ancelotti's Response to Ceballos's Injury, the Italian Reveals It

Carlo Ancelotti offered his analysis on what happened in the first leg of the semifinals of the Cup between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. The Italian, during his press conference at the Reale Arena, was asked about several aspects that occurred during the match.

Undoubtedly, beyond Endrick's goal, one of the key moments was Dani Ceballos's injury in the final minutes. The Andalusian midfielder, who suffered a hard blow against Take Kubo, left the field in tears and joined by the medical staff.

What Is Happening to Dani Ceballos?

Carlo Ancelotti, visibly concerned, commented that they are waiting for the evolution of Dani Ceballos, who will undergo medical tests. "He has a muscle problem, tomorrow he will undergo tests", the coach stated.

Regarding what happened with Raúl Asencio, Carlo Ancelotti was also very assertive. "Vinícius warned the referee and he did what had to be done. He was affected", he commented.

"It was handled well. I changed him because of that and the yellow card. No one likes to be told to die in a stadium", he concluded.

Carlo Ancelotti's Complete Analysis

Due to Fede Valverde's absence, Carlo Ancelotti decided to line up Raúl Asencio on the right wing against Real Sociedad. However, in the second half, the Italian coach substituted the Spaniard and brought on Lucas Vázquez. At the end of the match, Ancelotti was asked about the situation on the right flank.

"It needs to be evaluated. I liked Asencio. All three can play there", he initially replied.

However, Carlo Ancelotti left nothing clear. "We are lucky to have good options. Also, we already have Alaba at the back", commented the Real Madrid coach.

Meanwhile, the coach took the opportunity to praise Endrick. "He is very accurate in front of the goal. He is fast and powerful", he explained.

"He needs to improve his ball control. He is young, very fast, and learns quickly", he commented about Endrick.

Additionally, Carletto was questioned about a possible starting position for Andriy Lunin in a potential final. The Italian replied that he is not thinking about that yet.

"He will play the return leg. Opening the debate about the goalkeeper for the final is still far off", explained Carlo Ancelotti.

"They are at a very good level, the young players give us a lot. We have a return leg against a great team ahead. We could have scored more goals, but Real also pressured us", he concluded about the match.
