Ancelotti all smiles after win over Levante

Ancelotti spoke to the press after watching his side win comfortable against Levante (2-0).

Madrid were improved

I think the first half was good, we played well. With good intensity, good quality. We controlled the game. In the second half, we were more relaxed, playing flatter. I’ll take the first half as a base to improve from.

Cristiano’s anxiety

I think Cristiano is alive and well, because the first goal came from his shot which was saved by a defender, which fell to Bale who scored. And the second was the same. Cristiano didn’t score but he was active in the game.

Clásico next

We’re going to the Camp Nou with as much confidence as is possible.

Injuries

Modric and Ramos made an important contribution to the team. Modric in the quality of the play and Ramos in the team’s character. We’ve tested Modric’s condition and Sergio’s... There are no cards. I think we’re going to the Camp Nou with almost the full squad available.

Bale’s celebration, was he affected by the criticism?

I’ve seen Bale more motivated, with more desire and the whole team had more concentration. They all did well for a spell in the game. On Sunday it needs to be the whole game.

What are you worried about for Sunday?

I don’t know. The first half tonight gives me confidence, I’m a bit worried about the second half. But it will be a different game. We need to be at our best and at our best we can win.

Team for the Camp Nou?

I’ve got the team decided for the Camp Nou, I don’t think there’ll be any surprises. I do have a doubt over who to put in goal... (laughs). [Ancelotti had already confirmed Iker Casillas will be in goal against Barcelona.]
