JAKARTA - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to praise Marco Asensio's contribution, who scored the only goal for his team against Granada. For Ancelotti, the presence of Asensio is very reliable.

In the 23rd week of the 2021/2022 Spanish League, Real Madrid will be able to host Granada at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Monday, February 7 in the morning WIB. Despite having to fight hard against the visitors' defense from the start, Madrid finally won 1-0 through Asensio's single goal in the last minute.

Ancelotti then gave praise and called Asensio a player who can be relied on because he has the quality and the desire to work hard for Los Blancos.

"He is reliable, he works hard and we won today's game thanks to his best qualities, his shots. He comes back from a difficult time with an injury full of confidence", Ancelotti was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

This victory at home according to Ancelotti could be an injection of enthusiasm to face the next match. The coach said when entertaining Granada his team was not in the best condition because several players suffered injuries.

"We had six players injured in tonight's game and I hope they all come back for our next game", said Ancelotti.

Even though the team's situation was not optimal, the support from the fans and the fighting spirit of the existing players could feel the spirit and push Los Blancos to get three points in this match.

"We got a very good reaction from everyone, both those (supporters) who were supportive from the start and those (players) who came on to the pitch, it gave the team a very good boost", said Ancelotti.

This victory over Granada makes Real Madrid sit at the top of the 2021/2022 Spanish League standings with a score of 53 points. Following in the second position is Sevilla with a collection of 47 points.
