Ancelotti: “An unforgettable year is coming to an end in style”
“Courtois and Benzema were key”, said the coach.
Carlo Ancelotti spoke in the press room at the José Zorrilla after Real Madrid's victory over Valladolid: "It was a tough game against a side that grew into the game. We did well in the first half, controlling the game. Valladolid performed well and made it a competitive game. The team wasn't solid enough, but we came away with three points from this difficult game".
"Both Courtois and Benzema put in a great performance, and Benzema was amongst the goals once again. An unforgettable year is coming to an end in style. We have to keep moving forward slowly to get all the players back to good shape".
Courtois and Benzema were key
"Courtois and Benzema were key, as well as the work of the whole team. Hazard will play in the next game. This was useful for Benzema. I looked at it before this game, I knew he could be important today and he was. He's motivated and full of confidence. We're going to see a different Karim in the second half of the season than in the first half".
