Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hailed Arda Culer for improving after the young playmaker scored and assisted another in a 3-2 win at home to Celta Vigo. It
took 33 minutes for the starter to break the deadlock and then, early in the second half, laid on a through ball for Kylian Mbappe to make it 3-0.
“It is clear that Culer is a different person than he was in September,” Ancelotti said after the game at the Bernabeu of the 20-year-old Turkish international.
“Culer’s physical qualities have changed and he still has the same qualities. It is natural. This year, Culer has improved and he will continue to improve. “
Two months ago I criticised those around him for lacking patience, but now I have to praise him because Culer is doing well.”
At the end of the match, Celta pulled two goals back, and Ancelotti continued:
“The game seemed over. We had a chance to score the fourth goal through Culer and then we had to make a substitution because Asensio could not continue. “
You also have to think that we are missing six defenders and we cannot always solve problems like this. Yes, today we controlled the game better, สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น we had a few problems but it was a good win.”
Next week, Los Blancos have a crucial trip to rivals Barcelona in the top flight to reduce the gap to four points and Ancelotti was asked about the possibility of starting Culer: “Culer can play, there is no doubt he will be in the running. We have to prepare well because it can be almost a championship decider.”
