"It has been our best second half so far this season"

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged his side's problems in the first half against Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund, but was left with his players ' pride-filled reaction in a second half that he said “could be a key moment of the season”, highlighting “attitude” above all else.
"The formation is not the most important thing, it's the attitude the players put into playing in a certain system. If we played 4-4-2 in the first half, the same thing would have happened. The most important thing is the attitude in the match. The second half taught us a lot about what we have to do and how to do it. It could be a key moment of the season," he said at the press conference.
Ancelotti was proud to see his team's best performance of the season in the second half and analysed the mistakes of the first half. "We didn't live through it calmly, but calmly enough to change the second half. The team was much more intense. The problem in the first half was that we were timid. They were in control, they scored two goals with little effort. It was quite clear what we had to do and we did it with more intensity and pressure. It was the best second half of the season," he said.
"We started the game with little intensity, the team was organised, but without pressing. They controlled the first half well, although we had chances with two crossbars, but we were too timid. This team has shown that it can play with more energy, taking more risks, but we can press because we have the physical characteristics to do so," he concluded.
