Carlo Ancelotti says that 0-0 is the best “worst” result for Real Madrid
He is not happy with the result, which leaves the tie wide open ahead of the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. “They are one of the best teams in the world at defending. Oblak did a great job. “The second half was different because they pressured us more and we had difficulty keeping possession.” “I think, above all in the first half we deserved more than 0-0. Real Madrid’s first half was fantastic, we played very well, with personality. Simeone hailed his goalkeeper Jan Oblak for keeping Madrid at bay, and also said most other teams would have caved to Los Blancos’ pressure. Rik Sharma Carlo Ancelotti believes that his team deserved to beat Atletico during the goalless Champions League quarter final clash on Tuesday. “In the first half the opponents were good. Oblak was great, especially for Bale’s chance,” he explained.
Upd. at 03:08 15/04/2015 “The result was not good, but we have gained confidence from that game, from what the team showed. The result is the best of the ‘worst’ results,” said Madrid’s manager. “And the best thing was the reaction we had. Any other team that had been damaged as we were in the first half would have ended up conceding. CEST “But the game became much closer to what we had imagined at the start.”
Copa America Group A: Mexico 0-0 Bolivia
Bolivia and Mexico drew 0-0 in their first match of the Copa America in Chile, following the hosts’ two-goal win over Ecuador on the first day of the competition. After the first round of fixtures in Group A, it leaves Chile in a good position at the top of the table. Next up for Bolivia is Ecuador, while Mexico will meet the hosts in Santiago. However, it was Mexico who could have led after 12 minutes when Argentine-born Marias Vuoso created an opening for Juan Carlos Medina, who could not finish. Two minutes later, Ricardo Pedriel had Bolivia’s best chance of the half, but was denied by Corona. After the break Mexico changed to a 5-3-2 formation, which quickly switched to 4-3-3 when they attacked. It helped them come into the game more. Vuoso looked dangerous, creating another chance for Martins Moreno. Upd. on 22/11/2016 at 03:06 CET In 15 Copa America matches played in Chile, Bolivia have drawn five and lost 10. And they have not won their opening match in the competition since 1997, when, as hosts, they beat Venezuela. And in the 82nd minute they had their best chance, but Atletico Madrid striker Raul Jimenez missed the opportunity to snatch all the points. They looked better in the first half here against Mexico, with Jesus Corona the goalkeeper with the most work to do in the early stages. 13/06/2015 On top of that, they have now gone 16 matches without a win in South America’s biggest competition. The last time they triumphed was against Mexico (3-1) in the semi-finals in 1997. It’s the worst run of any side competing in the competition. EFE / Sport EN
